Visit #3.

Back in the Multnomah County Library...

I'm still looking at advertisements and recording them in a massive spreadsheet. K-Scall knows my obsession with making charts for organizing things.

By the way, Madison is here with me. She's working on some Spanish homework. We had an adventure using the bus and MAX line. Super easy.  I'll probably be coming down here later this week.

Well, back to work.  I'm looking at ads from the October 1942 issue of Good Housekeeping.  It's interesting looking at all these ads because I think different ads are in magazines nowadays.  I mean, who advertises towels and refrigerators anymore?  Well, there might be some out there in certain magazines, but I guess I haven't seen them in others.  Haha...I should check that out sometime.

Alright, probably will be at UP's library tonight, so more adventures then too.  Hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday! Enjoy the sunshine! :)

P.S. There's so really cool tables with outlets in the middle of the table! That's for you SpeakUP!

P.P.S. Doing some mini-lifecasting in the library on Twitter! Some funny stuff is happening here.

Separated.

I decided to head back to the original spot where this blog started, while Rick was stationed at the table.  He needed the space for all this papers and books, which already took up half the table before I got to the library.  No worries, Rick!

Madison and I worked on homework as usual and occasionally people watched, mostly seeing how Rick was doing, especially after sending him a text message.  Ah...you know you all text other people who are in the library too! But yeah, pretty chill day in the library.

No warning to leave from 15 minutes guy because he decided to tell the people next to us instead of actually telling us. Uh hello? Headphones. Loud music. Not listening to voices.  Whatev.  We got the gist when Ben (another library worker) started shutting down the lights.  He's Madison's supervisor, so yeah.

Anyone notice that the library closes closer to midnight nowadays?  Pretty sure that's thanks to Andrew Hansen and his comment on SpeakUP.  Well, it's more realistic to have that closing time posted.  I just hope it doesn't get abused by students who want the library to be open even longer.

P.S. Forgot another update from Monday.  I called Madison, seeing if she was in the library.  Sure enough, she was sitting on the floor in the foyer area. It was funny because I was standing outside of the library and could totally see her sitting there.  Adam was with me because we just attended a Relay for Life meeting... 

QUICK SHOUT OUT!

Relay for Life 
April 16 - 17 
Academic Quad
Opening ceremony at 6 p.m. on Friday, April 16.  
Come out for a great cause! :D

So yeah, I sat down with Madison. Who knew that the floor at the entrance of the library is heated? It's like those seats in cars that are heated.  It was kinda weird because it kind of felt like someone else had sat there before...you know that feeling?  Anywho, Madison went to work, while I found a table to work at.  Yup...and that's how my Easter Break ended...in the library. Perfect....not.
