cussed.

Throughout the school year i've gotten very used to being yelled at by various people. At first, it was quite alarming when, some friends and i were studying at Gerstein, (the arts and science library; in other words, not my turf, and home to some very adamant studiers trying to get into med school and law school and various other impressive schools) and found out the hard way that some hardcore studiers don't generally appreciate a group of four nerdy asian guys huddling around a computer and playing mario kart on a bad emulator while they're trying to study . It probably didn't help matters that we like to scream like girls when the computers beat us.

The guy decided to that he wanted to take his cussing to the next level, and decided to follow me after i had packed up and started leaving, all the way to the elevators, telling me i'm an idiot the whole way. He probably just wanted a break from studying, and me, the small asian kid with a dumb look on his face was just that carrot hanging in front of his face.

But that's not it. Having long since moved out of the Gerstein library, and into the engineering library (where it's generally a lot louder, and less productive) i've still had my share of yells. Usually people just understand seconds after they walk in, the mindset that the people that use the engineering library have. "Hey, i'm probably so screwed for my next test/quiz/lab/(insert some other method of being raped by course assessment here) that i may as well spend more time making paper airplanes and throwing them at the stucko roof so that they get stucko (hurr hurr) than i actually do studying, and i should probably listen to loud obnoxious music at the same time"

But of course, there are the people that just don't have any notable observational skills whatsoever, and so miss out on the red herring. It's generally these people that have been the ones to say to me the following: *these actually happened*:

Justin: *unplugs headphones to lend to a friend, forgetting that loud rap music about sex and drugs is playing on his laptop, music begins to blare loudly as justin frantically hits all of the buttons on the computer that do NOT make it stop swearing and being profane.*
Unidentified voice from unidentified location: YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY COME TO THE LIBRARY TO STUDY. GAWD.

Justin: *laughs uncontrollably at a youtube video no one else finds funny*
Scary Chinese Librarian Man: SON, this is a LIBRARY, SHUT YOUR MOUTH or i will remove you.

Nowadays, i'm trying to study in some remote corner of an empty building, and there's older students playing big 2 EVERYWHERE. And they're all but quiet about it. I would rage at them if i wouldn't get my butt handed to me...

Thanks Karma D:
