Have you seen my anthology?

I'm back! I am slowly crawling out of my homework/pledging cave and am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Being the great bloggees that you are I know you will understand. After being almost done with my first semester as an Aztec I have learned a great deal. My learning experience is far from over though. This week I have had to tackle Love Library. Oh my goodness. This has not been an easy task. So, I have to write a research paper on Polynesian Dance. Sounds fun right? Well I didn't realize how difficult it was to find books on classical Polynesian dance. That was an obstacle in itself. The SDSU library website makes things everything way more difficult. I'm not bitter or anything though.
So Tuesday I finally worked up enough courage to go searching for the book I needed. I had no idea where to begin so I just picked a random place and headed there. I ended up taking some hidden elevator to the special reserves. When I saw that all the books looked really old and were locked away I figured I was in the wrong place. So, I put on my sweetest smile and said, "I'm really lost." The nice lady pointed me in the right direction. However, as I'm about to get into the secret elevator a creepy guy gets in it. Being in an elevator with you someone you don't know is super sketch and awkward. I pulled the typical girl excuse, pretended I had to go the bathroom, and booked it out of there so I didn't have to go with him. Then another guy came so I was basically standing in the bathroom waiting till I could go in the secret elevator by myself. That shouldn't be so difficult! After going to two more wrong places it began to feel like the college version of "Are you my mother?"
"Have you seen my anthology???" I eventually found my anthology right next to the same place I go on the computers everday at lunch. I didn't care though. I had it in my hands finally and there were no more creepy elevators to go through.
Today was the sequel. "Have you seen my video of polynesian dancers?" I'm getting really good at smiling and asking for help. I'm pretty sure that is a skill I will use throughout the rest of my directionally-challenged life. To top things off though I had to ask where to plug my headphones in after I eventually found my video. The guy at the desk had his headphones on though so I had to say it three times and wave at him before he realized I was talking to him. Meanwhile the guy in the room behind him was just watching and laughing. You laugh Mr. Media Center Guy this Aztec has conquered Love Library against all odds!!
