It’s getting to be that time of year when the workload increases, and there is a proportional surge of students inside Case Library. I found my usual corner and set up camp, ready for a long night of reading and writing. I had been working for maybe twenty minutes when a friend came over and said she needed to take a break. So we chatted for fifteen minutes and returned to base.
And then the same thing happened with a different person an hour later. And again after that. And in one night, I managed to write eight pages and catch up with five different people. A well-balanced evening.
