shhhh...it's a library

so, last week i pathetically gave an entire day to my profession-i spent almost 6 hrs @ our local library preparing lesson plans (i could do this @ home but it's so much easier to do when they have children's books). anyway, the day started out lovely as i sat my big tail in the tiny children's section, but by the end of my stay, i left because of noise. noise!! at the library!!! the sad thing is...i was safe in the kid's area-it was not until i had to venture out into the adult area to plug my laptop in... did i find problems. a man stared @ me while continuously clearing his throat-continuously. then a lady with a giant bandaid on her ear was talking & giggling to a person whom i did not see in this dimension. so, i moved to a secluded table under the stairs where i was alone for 5 minutes, when a lady & her daughter decided to come sit down. the lady went to go find a book, while her daughter read aloud. READ OUT LOUD...while i'm typing!!! before i could injure anyone, i thanked God for letting me get done what i got done, then packed up my little teacher bags & jetted out. whatever happened to respect & quiet environments @ the library!! back in the day, i can remember trying not to lose consciousness because i was breathing so shallow for fear the security guard would kick me out or revoke my library card. i watched way too much reading rainbow for that to happen! i will return to the library...one day....but i'll be packing headphones for sure!!
