Library Goers: Fourth Floor

The upperclassmen social scene starts heating up on the fourth floor of the HBLL...well, "heating up" is sort of a stretch. It's not as much of a sexy "Laguna Beach" episode as the fifth floor is, but there are definitely lusty, wandering eyes belonging to people enrolled in 300-level courses. These are people who wish they could be as open and free with their libidinous urges as the freshmen below and the Don Juan Triumphants above, but alas, they know that their futures depend not on hot makeouts betwixt bookshelves but rather on their grades. Their passionate feelings are thus forced into submission, which is why on the fourth floor you will rarely see any of those "oh-what's-that-you're-typing-on-your-computer/now-my-arm-is-around-you-while-I-am-bending-over" moves, tables with more than four people, or MASH game papers. No, these are serious students who want to be around other people and to look at those other people, but they know that they have far too much work to do.

  1. Beautiful. I'm going to be thinking about "libidinous urges" all week. For the LRC and coincidental run-ins the fourth floor will always hold a special spot in my heart.

  2. It is uncanny how well you are able to capture the essence of each floor of the library. Bravo!
