Coolest Library Ever


Today I had to go to Union Theological Seminary to take out a book for my media class. The stacks in that library are the coolest ever! There are glass floors with lighting underneath and right up against the stacks is a slot, about a half a foot wide. I felt a bit scared that i would misstep and that my foot would get caught in the slot, but it was really neat to look up or down through it at the layers of what seemed to be an abyss of books. Another sweet aspect was when you looked up and somebody was walking above you, you could see them walking through the glass. Talk about glass ceiling. It was very Harry Potteresque. The boy who checked me out was adorable and being taught how to be a librarian by a real life Miss Swan look/talk-aline.

Stay in school kids, libraries are cool!

Evasion.


Today, after class I made an effort to get an exorbitant amount of work done. I got some done, with great voracity, but then I got distracted. My friend Zeb, who I actually know from summer sleep away camp imed me and actually happened to be in the same library I was in! He went to McGill in Montreal for undergrad, and the last time I saw him was when I was visiting Montreal last January. We caught up and sat for hours on our computers in silence, while doing work. It was nice to not be alone in my quest to complete scholastic missions.

Even though I sort of got stuff done, I still photographed myself while in the library. This blog is quickly becoming an attempt for me to raise my self esteem through self-photograph therapy.

p.s. Why the fuck is the New York 1 station interviewing Alec Baldwin about serious topics? This is why I hate the news. Kill yourself Rupert Murdoch.

I come home to LI tomorrow night!
