CLOSED on Sundays

My public library is closed on Sundays.  

At UP, I could spend my whole Sunday in the library if I wanted to, but it was pretty typical to find me there after mass till closing.  Ah...you know those Study Sundays when you attempt to do all the homework you had to do over the weekend. Bah...I hated those.

Anywho, the Elk Grove Library opens at noon tomorrow, which is perfect because I can head over there after my morning run! Woot! ;)

I'm sorry for this delay. As mentioned before, things have been really busy since I've returned home. 

TOMORROW!!!

Get ready for the finale!  Well, at least my finale (for now).

Rick has summer school, starting tomorrow, and he wanted to give his two cents about being back on campus and in the library. So the adventures continue...kinda.

Guess you never know what to expect on The Adventures of Rick and Tarra.

Ciao! ;)

P.S. I did see Iron Man 2 on Friday, hence why I didn't write then. Btw...if you haven't seen that movie, you should go see it. LOVED IT! Then for Saturday, I was doing some more cleaning and organizing and some more movie watching. Ah...it's summer! Keep your shorts on...the blog is coming.

P.P.S. The picture was taken in the bonus room in my house. We have lots of bookshelves lining one wall, like a library! haha My brother, Kyle, joined me. :)

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.

A Day in the Library Life with Madison!

Hey hey! We're back from Spring Break, and Madison and I spent ALL of Study Sunday in the library!

Before heading to the library, we had Sunday brunch from the Commons - pretty good as usual. Then we headed back to Fields to get our study gear. It was off to the Cove to get some caffeine. Yup, we were pretty much hyped on coffee the whole day. In fact, Madison was shaking...whoa!

We sat in the corner spot and played musical chairs there because the entrance of the library kept distracting both of us. While Madison completed her Spanish assignments, I applied for eight jobs, talk about time consuming.

Rick made his presence through silent phone calls and texts throughout the day. Sorry dude, we're in the library! Gotta keep it quiet, son! He came by after dinner when I had to rush out to get some stuff back in Fields.

Returned for the remainder of the night with Rick, while Madison worked the late shift. Sent some CPB information out to the amazing members of CPB, while Rick uploaded some "edgy" pictures, which got some instant views. Cool stuff!

There was a good quote from the night from the one and only Scott, who's celebrating his birthday today. Woot! We'll have a special blog later. Anyway back to that quote...well, Rick can tell you because I wasn't there.

So yeah...we're back in the library with 6 weeks left of school. Oh em gee...seriously. Especially for all those seniors graduating out there. These last weeks of school are going to fly like no other, and it will be May 2nd. We'll be walking across that stage, getting our degrees, and starting our lives out in the world, whether that is in the workforce, volunteering or continuing our education. Look out world! Here comes the class of 2010!

Until next time folks...! ;)

"I can see Scott from here."

Really now? From the second balcony, Rick and I leaned to the left to see if we could see him. Like the FAR LEFT. Mind you we were synchronized too. It was like when we saw that laser in front of Fields/Schoenfeldt (that's from a couple posts ago, if you're wondering). I'm sure Rick could see him, but Scott's still behind the bookshelf for me. OH well.

So spring break is in a couple days. Rick's staying in Portland to go exploring with Seamus (one of his many bromances...and by many, I really mean it), while I'm heading to VegASS (as my cousin would say) with Sam and Alyssa for the WCC Basketball Tournament among other things. Then it's off to home [sweet] home in Elk Grove, Calif. So exciting! We could really use this break; although I'm positive that I'll still need to complete a couple homework assignments at home as well as figuring out my plans for the summer. Anywho, back to times in the library...

It's the beginning of the week before spring break (obviously), and things are busier than ever (well, at least I think so...okay Rick agrees too). It's intense. We'll be here often, working. This is a study break, in case you were trying to figure that out too. So yeah, best be off to working again.

Ah...there's Madison working...haha

Okay. Seriously, let's get some work done! Good luck with midterms everyone (okay...just those who have them. If you don't, you're a lucky bum)!

P.S. Look who's in his usual spot in the library...

JEFF MAKJAVICH!!! :)

Another thing, Madison is going around telling people they have 15 minutes left in the library. Hahaha no, that doesn't make her 15 minutes girl. She's Madison.

Sunday Night.

After an eventful Saturday, Sam and I decided to go to the library after mass. We ran into Jeff and Stephanie. Jeff told me that Rick told him to tell me to do homework. I took him seriously and was like, "I do do homework here." At the end of the night, Rick told me that it was "all for jokes." WHAT?!

Anyway, Sam and I sat on the 2nd balcony and worked on homework. Yay for productiveness!

With 15 minutes left before closing, Madison came over and told us in the fashion of the 15 minutes guy. Aww...CLASSIC! ;)

BTW...I saw the 15 minutes guy in Pilot House on Saturday. Great - now I recognize him outside of his usual environment.

So yeah, it was a pretty uneventful time in the library, but it was nice to be there and be somewhat productive. :)

See ya tomorrow folks.

STOP Galactic Cannibalism!!

So Madison is reading up on some astronomy and found out that galaxies are eating each other?! What monstrosities! We're starting a movement to stop galactic cannibalism...who's with us?!

Besties!

Sam just came in...yes! :)

Sunday Evening

It's Sunday, which is typically when everyone and their mom is in the library.

Rick and I are up on the second balcony. Nothing much happening. Although I'm pretty sure I passed by Andrew and Jeff with extreme determination to get to the second floor. Whoops.

There's a ton of athletes in the library this evening. I felt a tad bit uncomfortable about it, to be honest. I'm not really sure why though.

Anyway, Rick went down to find a computer. Oh wait...He just texted me that his shoes are squeaky. Thanks for the minor update dude! haha

I need to get back to reading before mass. See you there Sam!
