Well, out on the town last night, if you count “the town” as being the University District. I have this crazy night class: Information Systems, Architectures, and Retrieval. They strong-arm the future librarians into taking it, much to their bitter dismay, but as a future Evil Information Scientist, I can see how I can mold the class to my evil future purposes.
Anyhow, we escaped from the lab early last night, and my lab partner was craving a College Inn grinder, so we hit it. There is a meeting place in the back of the College Inn that bears the squirmy title “The Snug Room.” I glanced up as we walked by snugtown and noticed it was full of people, not an unusual sight on a Thursday night.
But then I started seeing my classmates walk by on their way to the bathroom. Someone finally stopped and said, “Hey, you two, there’s a librarian meeting over there. Why aren’t you joining us?”
Suddenly I remembered what was happening…it was the librarian social, organized by the student organzation that I am VP of. Shit. Here I was sitting three tables away from them. I had completely forgotten about it because I was supposed to be in class until late. Plus I don’t really want to meet any librarians, especially if they’re as basket-casey as my classmates.
That’s it for the College Inn on a weeknight.
