Hi all!Just trying to figure out a quiet place (that is open kinda late) where I can study. The libraries seem to close fairly early, and I am distracted in places like coffee shops.I live in the SF Bay area in California... any suggestions?Thanks VERY much!

I live with a very annoying brother who does everything loud...listen to music....watch tv...talk on his cell phone. I just put on a pair of ear muff silencers when I want to study and its as if he doesn't even exist.

He also really enjoys playing Rock Band (which is awesome) and the pinging of those drum sticks makes me a little suicidal,:sfxpld: lol... j/k (but close)! I think I will DEFINITELY try this, I usually just try to tone him out, but that doesn't always work. Thanks!!!

IHOP has a great never empty coffee pot for $1.75 :) Or I just stay home and turn all the lights on and brew my own coffee and make snacks so I stay awake.
