One sight for sore eyes

The Van Pelt Library at UPenn, on a weekday night during exam period is surely a sight to see. Every desk, chair, and computer terminal was occupied. There wasn’t even a place to sit on the sofas and lounge chairs. The little space that seemed available from far away revealed papers and bookbags on closer inspection, evidence that some late-nighter would return. I was actually crowded out of the library. (It’s sad). I laughed, chatted with the security guard, and went to the lesser-known Engineering lab instead.
