By-the-Numbers: The Undergraduate Library

November 19, 2009

I spent about a hour in the Undergraduate Library today. Between my procrastinating and people-watching from the second floor, I noticed some interesting trends.

Here are the stats:

-Facebook accounts opened: 8

-Phones vibrating: 2

-Ringtone of "Romeo and Juliet" by Taylor Swift quickly being silenced: 1

-Hushed conversations of people catching up: 1

-Non-disabled students using the elevator: 3

-Words of wisdom written on bathroom stall walls by philosophy majors: 5

-Words of wisdom on bathroom stall walls by Communist students: 1

-Students working alone in group meeting rooms: 4

-People who I  knew, but not quite well enough to say hello, and awkwardly avoided eye contact with on my way out of the library: 1
