Grace: No, I think people are just extraordinarily rude anymore. Nobody has manners – it’s terrible.

Middle Man: I’ll check it out, thanks for the link.

I have the same problem in the Quiet Zones on UK trains:

Girl, I know exactly how you feel. I often have to check myself and say ….”maybe it’s me.” Perhaps I’m just too sensitive to all of this rudness going on around me. But after reading your entry, I know it’s not. Best of Luck in school!

Colsy: Good idea!

Another 1L: I don’t know who you are, but it wasn’t you – the people weren’t 1Ls.

Jansen: It depends on my mood as to where I study. Sometimes I go to the noisy lounge and with headphones I’m fine. Other days I need quiet. And no, they weren’t 1Ls.

The whistle thing is the oddest… I find cafes (with headphones) way less distracting than the library. All the noises drown each-other out.

Are these people in your section?

I hope none of those people were me. That’s why I usually go to the library. I guess I didn’t feel like going all the way back there today between lunch in the noisy lounge and civ pro.

Maybe all of the kids in the world who recieved ear muffs for Christmas could donate them to the Quiet libraries of the world?
