This year I have decided to take a new approach to studying for finals. I have not spent the past 5 days in the library watching the clock tick down until my next final. Instead I did a bit of traveling to clear my thoughts and prepare for the easiest finals schedule imaginable, two on Thursday and then I'm done!
Not being able to abandon my trusty work cubby in bapst I have returned the day before finals to put a good 15+ hours of studying in. Some people find it boring to spend massive amounts of time in libraries but for me it's a great day of people watching, especially during finals. The girls are unrecognizable without their make up on and their hair pulled back as they try to learn the basic points of good speech (Oh you comm majors, how I envy you.) But there are the select few hoping to find their next boyfriend here on the first floor of Bapst. Such as the girl sitting behind me, her white bow is bigger than her head and her skirt is simply inappropriately short for this fine Catholic institution. I wish her the best of luck in both finding Mr. Right Now and passing her finals, both look to be a current struggle for her.
Recently I've been running into an interesting character at bapst, I call him Mr. Pro. He is the one wearing the "Gay... fine by me" shirt while caring his trusty nalgene that is plastered with Pro-Life stickers. I've come to despise him and while I do get excited to mock in his open opinions this joy is always followed by the feelings of nausea which force me to move so he is out of my direct view.
Since it's still early I haven't yet encountered my favorite bapsters, the kids who have been drinking coffee for so long that their eyes have begun to twitch but I'm not worried I still have time!
