Friday afternoon

It is Friday afternoon, and Iam reading in the library. Sounds a bit boring, but it seems my life here is just doomed to be like this. It is vacation time, so the library is almost empty. Just 2 weeks ago you should really feel lucky to find a seat; but now you can pick any place you wish.
One of my favorite seat is next to the section of Philosophy. There is only one very small table there, almost buried in the bookshelves. It is always great to occupy that corner without much disturbance: obviously not many readers are quite interested in the hardcore philosophy.
Only a few weeks ago that I discovered that I actually can use internet with the Catalogue–only computers in the library. I don't know if they allow us to do this, but I accidently found out that we can actually link to the internet through ''search'' function in the library website. It is a quite nice surprise, since it means I really do not have to carry my stupid laptop around. :–)) I believe a friend mentioned this function to me two years ago, and how amazing it is that I finally get to know how to (mis)use the liberary computers!!
I spend most of my time on the third and fifth floor. The third floor is a bit like home to me, since I can find all the translation theories here; but i prefer the chairs on the fifth floor. I am not sure if they are made of leather but they definitely feel more comfortable.
It does not seem to be a very nice weekend plan: to stay in the library and to try sit on different chairs on different floors. Therefore, I just end up here and try to figure out something more interesting to do. :–))
