Wednesday night FLASHBACK...

So I forgot to write about some adventures that Rick and I had...well, more like encounters with 15 minutes guy.

It was pretty chill for the most part.  He was on his usual rounds about the library, collecting books that people left unselved and what not, while Rick and I were in the corner table, working on homework.

At the end of the night, he came over and gave his usual schpeel about having only 15 minutes left.  Except this time, we had "a little more than 15 minutes left." Lucky us right?! haha It was 18 minutes left to be exact.

But what was really interesting was how he came over to talk to us.  He like stood by our table and just stood there for a few seconds while Rick and I were talking to each other.  Then he told us what he usually tells us.  For some reason, he seemed nervous.  I'm not sure why though.  I mean, really, he's been telling us that we have 15 minutes left in the library for a couple weeks now.  Maybe he's actually comfortable around us....or not?

A few moments later, he came by to shelve some books, and I started laughing at something that Rick said.  I swear my timing for laughing out loud in the library always seems to happen when 15 minutes guy is around.  He probably thinks something of it, but it's really nothing.  Seriously.

As Rick and I left the library, 15 minutes guy made some weird face at us, according to Rick.  I'm not sure what that was all about.  BTW, I was carrying a load of things, including my backpack, purse, camera bag and tripod (yeah, I looked like I was going on some special photography trip or something).

But yeah, our interactions with 15 minutes guy were interesting this time around.  I have a strange feeling he knows that we blog about him...well, more like I blog about him. haha But whatev...

13 minutes left...

Last week Rick and I went to the library at like 11:20 p.m. Yeah, I know, sounds kinda pointless when there's only 40 minutes left.

Anywho, when there was 15 minutes left, one of the workers came over and did the basic protocol for informing students that there's only 15 minutes left until closing. Only difference was that this library worker didn't just pause to tell me, he came over, leaned up on the computer desk I was sitting at, and said, "Hey. The library closes in 15 minutes." I was like, "Thanks." In my head, I was just thinking, "Why did he stop to tell me that when most of the workers just walk by and say that?" Interesting.

Not only that, but when I went to check out my books, one worker was already stationed at the counter, and the guy that told me there was 15 minutes left decided to help out. Both were really helpful, but still. I'm pretty sure that's a one person job.

So...last night, Rick and I encounter the 15 minute guy, but this time when he came around, there was only 13 minutes left...?!?! What?! haha Also, Rick really wanted to wave at him when he was shelving books. Mind you, we don't even know this guy's name. In fact, I've never seen him before until last week. Weird...?

I'm sure we'll encounter him again on a late Wednesday night...even Thursday. Who knows?

Tonight, Rick and I are taking a break from the library and studying it up in Fields/Schoenfeldt Halls. Rick has some major tests tomorrow, while I have to finalize my topic for my capstone and get some stuff done before leaving this weekend. Hopefully I do.

Well, thanks for keeping up with our blog thus far. We'll have more adventures next week! See ya. :)
