Libraries

[gwaevalarin]

Is there a greater place than libraries? Well, except for green hills or the coast when the wind is blowing and there's no one else around. Or my sofa/bed with a hot cup of tea when it's cold outside.
Being in the library definately is my favourite part of being a student. I love it there. It's the best place to concentrate. There are all those books - naturally - and the atmosphere is amazing. I usually rather walk along the shelves to find books on a topic than use the computer so I can enjoy the atmosphere. I just easily lose track of time there.

I went to university earlier today to do some research for the next demon hunt my seminar paper in Tendenzen der deutschen Gegenwartssprache (The trends of present-day german). I was there at about 10a.m. so I had enough time before my first (and only) lecture for the day started at 1:30p.m. I thought. I did some research, looked for some books, made copies, read, took notes... and when I looked at the clock it was past 2p.m. It doesn't matter too much that I missed the lecture though. I have a script and it's one of the advanced studies lectures I take but don't really need yet anyway.

When I was done with my work for the seminar paper for today I spent about another 45 minutes in the folklore section. I found a book about ghosts and the belief in them in the 19th and 20th century. I can't wait to read it.
