Library

It usually starts to wind down around this time of day. Most students are done with class and are either at home relaxing or studying. In the main lobby there are two groups working on something, The first group looks uninterested and ready to sleep. This is usually around the time when everyone starts complaining about school. It's towards the end of the semester so a lot of people are stressing out.

I see many on a computer determined to finish their work. Everyone has a water bottle or some other beverage. Most people here on campus seem to keep well hydrated throughout the day. Most students here stay for hours at a time.

Half the people here are wearing sweaters or some other type of warm clothing and the other half in t-shirts. As it gets colder more and more people dress warmer. It seems that some do not like the cold and dress warm at any chance of the temperature dropping and others have a higher tolerance for colder temperatures. To me i see that those who are from Las Cruces are used to hot weather so the cold really bothers them but others are used to cold temperatures. There are also those who are just excited for winter to come just so that they can have a new style of clothing to show. I have friends like this and in most cases they are female.

This library i prefer over Branson because of the setting. In the times that i've been to Branson people are usually quieter and avoid conversation. Maybe there difference has to do with the interior design of the buildings. Zhul has more places to work in a group setting which gibes people more of a reason to have conversation.
