A place to study
Recently I've been questing around campus for a quiet place to study. Quiet is a relative term; some people are okay with just about any volume of noise going on around them, but I seem to need monastic soundlessness to get anything done. There are plenty of buildings around the med school proper, and all of them are filled with SOME type of noise. I can't study at the MERF because there's too much people traffic (and everyone wants to chat). Also, the stress level in the MERF is well above what is on Wall Street during a given day. The library is pretty good, but I'm picky. If there is a bathroom nearby forget about it. If somebody has a piece of fruit or bottled water, those tiny noises drive me absolutely mad. So my quest continues. My goal remains to find an area of some building that people don't remember exists that is so blissfully quiet that I'm annoyed by my own heartbeat. I'll deal with that later.

Would earplugs help? I can get you some if you would like them....one of the perks of working in a Testing Office (-:
I thought of the music building and its practice rooms. But I'll bet there would be subtle noise. A basement room in the computer building would be a good bet... And my favorite...the athletic building academic support services area. Probably wouldn't be much traffic there (smile). [I jest of course. I realize some UI athletes might not fit the stereotype :} ]
Actually that was Brandon's Dad who said that. I found the page up on the computer and didn't think about the login--sorry.
