I'm taking pharmacology right now. It's a lot to do in 5 weeks with 3 kids that are out of school and a husband who works long hours.
I have a test tomorrow, so he worked from 10 yesterday to 10am today so he could take off today and I could get out of the house and do some serious cramming.
I finally get to the library (which is more like a little study room at our satellite campus) and there's a young guy here. His cell phone is going off almost non-stop, loudly, alerting him and everyone in the room to every email and text message he's getting. I guess he needs the volume all the way up so he can hear it over the iPod he's listening to. The iPod that is also on some ridiculously high level so I can hear his techno through his ear buds from across the room. At one point his phone rang and he had an entire conversation at a normal volume in the room!
I asked him if he could silence his phone (letting the iPod thing go) but now I feel extremely old. Especially because I got an uber attitude from him and his phone is still going off, just a little quieter, and now he only has the first half of his convos in the room before leaving.
At 27, have I finally kissed my "cool" years goodbye? How in the world do people study like that? Maybe I'm just a rare person that likes absolute silence when I'm working - but what about consideration for the people around you? Honestly, if you work fine in chaos, staying at home would probably be just fine.
Ok, vent over. Back to work.
