UK Library!

Hello, friends! I am sorry it’s been a couple of weeks, I got way behind in school after my grandfather’s funeral, so I figured I better catch up before I posted another blog. I’ll all caught up now, though!

Right now, I’m listening to “Tea for Two” by Pink Martini (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP7uB0uM0_s go listen! It’s jazzy and amazing and perfect studying music!), working on my final presentation for one of my psychology classes, and writing you from the William T. Young Library at UK. Why, you ask? William T Young contributed heavily to both schools in Lexington, so we have this wicked sweet reciprocity going on—Transy students are allowed to check out books from UK and UK students are allowed to check out books from us. We also get to take advantage of the 5 floors of study space, which has definitely come in handy this round of finals! While I love Transy’s library, and think it’s cozy and super quiet, sometimes you just have to get away. I find that during finals week, it’s better to go somewhere where I won’t run into many people that I know (even though, I think people are starting to catch on, because as I look around right now I see 17 Transy students here with me!)

UK library has helped me get through a paper on “The Role of Race and Male Presence in Defining Southern Women in Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom,” the history of Social Psychology, and “Examining the Discourse of the Ecological Crisis in Haiti 1940-2000” this week, for sure! It’s not home (Transy), but it sure is a nice get away.

This is just a quick one—a break from finals to say hello! Hope all is well!
