Winding Down

We all thought that the Library would be basically empty today and that the semester would gradually wind down. Sure, we expected a handful of students finishing papers and studying for that one last exam tomorrow. Instead, the place is packed. We seem to be running full tilt.

There is a lot of chatter and conversation and energy. Groups are studying for exams, papers are visible on monitors, the printers are pushing out reams of paper and the coffee is flowing freely. all the spaces are filled and then some. Lone students wander about seeking a place to settle in.

It seems to get busier the later in the day we are. If today is so busy, I can't imagine what tomorrow will bring. And here I thought I would have no trouble parking! Guess again.
