Libvember

So I basically won't be leaving the library for the next three weeks. I'm comfortable with that; it's a nice library and there are usually comfy seats available. So here I am, assiduously working on my geography essay. I'm writing about the geopolitics of the oil sands, because my other (difficult, interesting) topic fell through. I probably could have made a case for it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it would just be "hey, this is really cool and is sort of related to what we're talking about except it's fictional!" And I don't think I can sustain that in any convincing way for 12 pages. The oil sands paper has the very considerable advantage of being easy to write because I actually know a moderate amount of stuff. Now watch me get a B+, again.

Shortly after I arrived at the library this morning, some horrible little man began listening to metal at exceptional volumes, such that I could hear it through his earphones from two seats away. WHY would you do that? And then I read a BBC News article that convinced me I am going to get cirrhosis of the liver due to being an undergraduate, and that one day with no warning I am going to wake up with yellow eyeballs and esophageal bleeding. Nobody should ever read health articles, because they are a leading cause of hypochondria.

So yeah. This is a happy library.
