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.

Oh ja, Bibliotheken *hach* Da schlägt das Bücherwurm-Herz höher. Leider komme ich viel zu selten in den Lesesaal in unserer Uni, schon alleine das Flair dort... Toll!

Das Buch, das du entdeckt hast, klingt ja sehr interessant. Wie lautet der Titel und von wem ist es? Ich bin einfach so furchtbar neugierig ;)

Ich komme auch viel zu wenig dazu, mich in der Bib aufzuhalten. Für Informatik braucht man sie halt leider doch nicht so oft.

Es ist eine Dissertation.
