Ugh, I have totally forgotten about all this blog stuff recently.

Returning to school after break, my life has been really undisciplined.

I guess there weren't really that much personal time dedicated to me. It's probably because I spend most of my day in College Library, where I study, chill and eat almost everyday. Actually today might be a good time to talk about how the place is. 

So in the beginning of the year, I was trying to find a perfect place to study. First, I tried out Steenbock Memorial library, which is a block across from my dorm. Despite the convenience that was attainable from the close distance, I ditched that option because of the sound of clocks ticking was so vociferous. Every minute, there was huge locking sound that occurred twice for some strange reason which drove me crazy. And the thing is, once you start hearing it just one time, you feel like you can hear it from a thousand miles away. So I moved on to a next option. Ebling library which is close to UW-Hospitals. It's a library that is made for med students, and it was the newest built one in our campus. Because of these attributes, it was the cleanest and the quietest library. However, there was one obstacle to it: Transportation. Biking there was not a problem when the weather was okay. But Madison is notorious for long and snowy weather which makes biking not a viable option. Which means that I have to take a bus every time. However, number 80 operates sort of infrequently after certain time (I guess somewhere around 8'o clock), which makes commuting to library a hard task. So that came off from my list.

The final, and the wisest move was relocating myself to College Library. There were a few merits that accompanied choosing it. First, it was 24 hours open from Sunday to Thursday, which is a huge advantage if I ever tried to pull of an all-nighter, which luckily I didn't. Furthermore, the library is close to Rheta's, the dining hall I used a lot over the winter, and the state street, home of various restaurants with reasonable price and okay taste. That's not the end of it. This library had a cafe and some vending machines that I could use if I needed. But the best thing is that College Library rented out textbooks for 3 hour terms, so I didn't have to carry Campbell Biology which weighs like 5 tons every day! Also, the quiet room was pretty quite (strange, ha?), the seat cozy and the lamp 'moody'. It provided me the perfect place to study year round and was close to different classrooms. Had it not been College Library, I would have been living a wholly different life, which I'm guessing would have been bad.

So, if I transfer to another college after this year, my main task would be finding a place that best resembles College Library. There might not be one, but still, College Library would forever be in my mind, as a part of precious memory that occupies a huge portion of my freshman year.
