A Quiet Day at UAB

After last weeks traumatic snowpacalpse, I decided I needed some peace and quiet. I love my family and I'm so appreciatativr that they have welcomed me into their home. However, being stranded in under one roof with all of them for days was a little stressful. I mean, I'm used to the farm where I can roam my property and not stay in the house. I think my cousin could tell I was not feeling well. I explained that I just needed a little bit of quiet time out of the house. My cousin suggested the quietest place she knew: the library. At first, I did not love the idea. The library seemed dull and boring. I'm an action kind of guy, but my cousin reminded exactly what I had been complaining about. I said I wanted peace and quiet and that did not go with action.

So I agreed to make a trip to the UAB Sterne Library. My cousin had school work she needed to get done so I just traveled with her and sat through her first two classesss of day. After her classes were over with, we made the short walk to the library. The weather was pretty ugly so I did not feel too bad about sitting inside. When we first walked into the library, it was very loud. There were students talking everywhere and I could not believe that this was supposed to be the quietest place my cousin knew. However, my cousin walked us to the very back of the library to the "quiet zone" and it was like somebody turned the volume off on the tv. This was the most quiet I had experienced all week! My cousin got out her laptop to do her school . I got out my own book, kicked back and enjoyed the "quiet zone".
