It was four o’clock in afternoon and University’s library was almost empty. Biggest group of students was sitting around a big round table in the centre of library’s hall. They were furiously whispering and pointing into some notes, showing some diagrams to each other and rolling dices. Away from them almost in a corner nearby scanning machine a blonde guy was reading a book.
His table was empty: no can’s of coke, no biscuits, and no notes. There was only a red pen in a front of him. Sometimes guy stretched his arm, picked a pen and crossed something in a book. He didn’t pay attention to a humming noise from main table or to a girl who was watching him for quite a while.
She was sitting in other side of the hall and looking at his blonde short hair, clean wide chin and bright skin. He reminded to her a picture of a German soldier she once saw in history book. Only that soldier was smiling.
Girl bit her lower lip. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to do what she was planning to do but on other hand, she was sure that there was nothing to lose. She stood up, tided her skirt then picked some random magazines from a shelf and started to walk through the room. She was hoping that the guy will raise his eyes and smile to her but he didn’t.
She slammed magazines on the table.
‘What are you reading?’ – She said.
‘A book. I’m reading a book.’ He was talking with a slight accent.
The girl rolled her eyes.
‘Come on man. I mean what book are you reading?’
Without moving his head, the guy stretched his arm, picked a red pen from the table and crossed something in the text. Girl leaned on the table and gave him a harsh look.
‘Wait a minute.’ She said. ‘Is this a library’s book?’
He sighed and looked up.
‘No.’ He said. ‘It’s not library’s book.’

...d stood up. She stood up as well.
‘Will you leave your magazines?’ – He asked when they stepped away from the table.
She doesn’t even bother to look back.
‘Someone will pick them up.’
When they passed a group in a middle of a hall, one of the students pointed a finger to the other and said ‘I shall drink from your skull your greasiness.’
‘Morons.’ Said Amy turned to the guy. ‘Are we going to the cafe?
‘We are not going to cafe.’ Guy said. ‘Machine on top floor makes a better coffee. Real milk my ass.’
‘What did you say?’ Girl didn’t hear the last words.
‘Nothing.’
The top floor was even emptier than a library. A narrow line of meeting rooms was not very popular amongst students. A pub on opposite side of the road had more luck than library’s fifth floor. ‘Maybe this is why coffee is better here.’ Amy thought. ‘Never used filters make a better coffee or something.’
PARKER, who gave up smoking his trademark big Cuban cigars in 1990, had a meteoric rise from being a hobo in the late 1920s to a top show business manager.
Mr. Prud’homme, a substitute teacher for the summer session, went to Gene and Finny to discipline them the next morning for missing dinner, but he was soon won over by Finny’s ebullient talkativeness and leaves without giving punishment. Mr. Patch-Withers, the substitute headmaster, held tea that afternoon. Most of the students and faculty conversed awkwardly; Finny, on the other hand, proved he’s a great conversationalist. As Mr. ...
This is not just a story about a nineteen-year-old guy trying to impress a group of girls by quitting his job, but it is also a story describing in detail the day this nineteen-year-old realizes that sometimes, in
Try as I might, I can’t seem to focus on the words coming out of my best friend’s mouth, my heartbeat echoing in my ears, drowning out any sounds she made. The table’s edge is smooth, gliding across my hand as I run my fingers over the corner. The droning continued, but I could only catch snippets: seating....invitations....decorations. All of these things seemed so trivial, so unimportant, compared to the thoughts that ran through my head.
As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.
“I see you Mr. Adza, I see right through you. You think you can charm your way out of any situation with your big smile and smooth way with words, but you can’t just coast through life with this sort of arrogant, nonchalant attitude. One day its really gonna bite you in the ass,” said Mr. Jansen, as he towered over my desk. Most of the class had scurried out at the sound of the school bell. I was simply trying to explain to the man that my random outbursts in class actually did him a favor because it loosened my classmates up, freeing their mind for the learning process. In fact, Mr. Jansen and I were actually a team. We were the dream team! I was the comic relief and he was the scholar. We went hand in hand.

When the time was up to stop writing, I looked around the classroom and noticed some of the students appeared a bit confused. The assignment was not a difficult one, not for me anyway. When the teacher began asking students to share what they had written with the class, it was interesting to find that only a...
When I first walked into Mrs. G’s English classroom, I had mixed emotions. I was eager to be there and I’m glad I was provided with an opportunity to interact with students and the teacher before class started. It felt lovely to be greeted by Mrs. G. with a good morning and small greeting. There are approximately 24 students and I did my best to count them as fast I could without making it uncomfortable for the scholars. Approximately, there are 13 boys and 11 girls with only 1 teacher. The classroom at El Sausal Middle School had a multicolored and untidy setting. When I say “untidy,” I mean that the desks, the materials and the equipment felt older and that they had been thro...
Finally, the bell rang and a sea of hungry students rushed to the cafeteria. The thing I had dreaded all my life had finally become a sick reality. I was alone. I roamed the cafeteria looking for a seat. A few snobby girls stopped talking as I walked by. Geez. I though.. I tried to lighten my mood. It didn’t work. I snagged a seat by some girls I recognized from my History class. The first girl has dark brown hair and a look of disgust as I sat down. The second girl seemed kinder but not by much. I ate my lunch in blistering silence. I felt hot tears sting my eyes. Do not cry. Do not give them any weakness. I urged myself. My pessimistic nature got the best of me. I hastily cleaned up my space and excused myself to the bathroom. I checked my reflection. Took about fifty deep breaths and drudged my pessimism with me. I pulled my wrinkled schedule from my pocket, “Algebra, great.” I whispered to
This would mark day number one of classes. I was not alone as I realized the other number of students were just like me, alone and disordered. The school resembled my old high school, with long hallways and multiple classroom doors, which reminded me that I had no clue where I was going. I figured I would have this problem so I had printed my schedule out the night before to use as an atlas to navigate me toward my multiple destinations for the day. All my prior preparations for this day of classes seemed to be failing me already. While I frantically screened for the right door number and avoided the glares from the upper classmen to hide my embarrassment, I had finally arrived at my first class, Chemistry
Seven thirty in the morning, confused, and gazing at my first experience of college I had no idea what this semester would have in store for me. Within the second story of Vawter Hall about fifty to a hundred students are crowding the hall awaiting the arrival of their professors. I was no different; unlike these other chatty energetic individuals I was alone, and desperate to get this first day over with. At eight o’clock bells chime through the building and the students have now dwindled down to those who I will later come to know as classmates and those few who had overslept on the first day. Eight fifteen, the little crowd starts to stir; the professor has still yet to arrive. Around eight twenty a woman with short cut hair arrives in a hurried manner, clearly upset to have arrived after her students. However, to her surprise, and those of her students, the door was
“Oh, why didn’t you say that? It’s over there,” said sheen, pointing down to the class at the end of the hallway. Sheen led them to their class and sat a seat behind from Jimmy. Jimmy sat down and put his ball under his chair. The class was very spacious with 4 rows of 4 individual desks. The desks were all facing a chalkboard that was located in the front of the class. In the back of the class were four computers on individual tables. The chairs near those desks were very low. There was a little space that was dark between the tables.
When walking into the library, one sees rows of computers placed in the center. Tables are against the walls, and in the center is a librarian’s desk. What one doesn’t see is the library begging for more space. Students are cramped at the small tables trying to share the space with each other. The library
As I sip my daily morning black coffee from my special coffee mug, I walk into my private library which has an automatic opening and a small hall as we enter. Just beside the couch which is in the hall, there is a mini map on the types of...
