Today marks a momentous occasion in my annals of ridiculous head-in-the-clouds academia. I got locked INSIDE the University of Alberta library. yes. I had decided I was doing some last minute desperate research in Rutherford SOUTH, so I simply ignored all closing announcements for Rutherford North. As it happened, at 6:15pm, all the lights went out, except for the "EXIT" signs. It was then that I took out my earphones, looked around at the study area around me (moments earlier absolutely FULL of students) and realized that I was indeed in Rutherford NORTH. - For the record, I am not usually so directionally challenged - I managed to quickly collect all my things (and unable to check out my research, left it on the table) and ran down 4 flights of stairs only to find the main entrance already locked. So not cool. I stood there thinking about how creepy a library looks lit up only by exit signs, deciding what to do. Luckly, a "guard" had just come out of the back and saw me and let me out with only a brief lecture on listening to announcements...I nodded and pretended I was excessively sorry...but seriously, who closes a library at 6:00pm during exams?! Ridiculous!
So I now have two FULL papers to write tomorrow...oh, i'm so screwed.

me too. crap. lets jump on the procrastination bandwagon..
i used to wonder if i could get locked in that library accidentally, but i had faith there was some person that went around to the study carols and kicked students out. hmmm, after your story - I'm glad i never tested that theory!!
