I am all for having and using cell phones, I would be lost with out mine. Today I got to school about an hour and a half early, found a quiet spot by an outside window where I could study (read) in peace. I really needed to read, as I had a test that same day. So I get settled into my spot and could genuinely focus on the task at hand, reading. That went great for about 5 minutes. Along comes another student, apparently also looking for a spot to study. There was plenty of room for both of us, but the other student obviously did not need her spot to be quiet. Now I could have just went into the library to study, but that just doesn't seem to work for me, I don't know why. So this chick sits down in the couch next to me, moves the couch to plug in her laptop, which starts playing music as soon as she plugs it in. She continues to fumble around with the couch, the laptop, and the music. This distracts me, but I am in a public area, so I figure as soon as she gets settled there will not be a problem. She no sooner gets settled, she starts munching on some sort of crunchy snack from a crinkly package! UGH! I still could have gotten up and moved to the library, but the snack bag was not too large, so I figured she would finish eating, and there would still be some quiet time for study. The quiet time lasted for about another 5 minutes, not even long enough to finish one chapter that I needed to read. What finally put me over the edge was the ringing cell phone! Of course she answered it, and had a lengthy conversation with her significant other. Now I am forced to find another spot to quietly read! I am thinking that this University is pretty big, there shouldn't be a problem finding a spot where I can read, where there is not another person already there. No I am not going to the library, I can't get any work done there.
