I decied to head to the libaray a little eaiiler this time. I had great hope to see somthing different , see somthing out of the ordianary for the 3rd floor.
Unfortantly I was let down. The afternoon was similar to others but diffrent faces. I have yet to see the same person twice except the employees. Now dont allow my opening to confuse you. The third floor does have some enteresting things haapening. Im just wanting somthing so exciting to happen, but it looks as if it probably wont happen. Still, there is always somthing worth blogging about.
Today I came to the conclusion that just sitting and watching people wasnet going to fill what I wanted out of the experience, at least for today. I came to the conclusion I would make laps at incramented time periods. About 2 laps every half hour. I wanted to give people the time to complete what they where doing and maybe the circulation of new people would change dramaticly.
I made my first lap arround the general perimeter. As walked by I saw a guy about early 20's, he was siting at a cubical tucked back in a corner. He had his legs extened with a book on his lap sleeping. I came to the conclusion that the silence got to him,even the book couldent keep him awake. I found and open conferace room and decided to read boe my first 30 minutes. As the the Autobiography of Zitkala-Sa drew to a dull moment, I looked at my watch and it had well passed the time I assigned to move arround. So I packed up my things and took another walk, I passed the guy still sleeping. I contuined and saw two other guys useing four chairs as a matress nodding off.
I thought that changeing my stragey my help my results, so I took a seat outside the stair well and watched the people from this point of view. As the time went on the door swung open very often. People came and went. What I found Intresting I never saw one person enter and leave. I saw people leave but they had to of arrived when I was reading of walking around. Im sure that alot of the people who enterned had just checked in and where hunting for the "hotel" room on the 3rd floor to get some much needed sleep. After about a half hour in the same seat I made one more final lap before I would take my leave. I noticed that evy study room was occupied, however very few cublicals where being used for work. There where alot of people sleeping in the though. I guess the people who want to do work go the the study roms to avoid the deep breathing and obvious snoring.
