I am such a “nerd”. I can’t go to ateneo to get my diploma but I can easily drop by because I have to go to the library and research. And I was really happy with the fact that I can do some research in the library. And when I inquired about the alumni card, my only concern was access to the Rizal library. The guy in the Alumni Association Office was telling me the benefits of the card like discounts and all I cared about was access to the library. I really don’t care whether it has other benefits aside from unlimited access to the library. Well, there’s a deposit needed for borrowing books but its refundable, the fact is, I can borrow books with the card. I need to check what it means to have the membership activated because it’s not really a library card. and how many times will i use the word library in this blog entry and the fact that i have access to it?

 I just felt good walking between shelves and shelves of books. There is the UP Law Library but ive grown accustomed to the way the books are arranged in the Rizal library. I just find it easier to conduct research in there. And it’s better lit. and the air conditioning of the Rizal library is much better. I guess I missed the Rizal library. Wow, of all the possible stuff to miss in ateneo, it’s the library I chose. 

I guess one of my blockmates was right to say i am the bookish type because I look like one and my other blockmate to say I am such a nerd because im always in the library. I mean I just went to ateneo to inquire about the library services I can avail of as an alumnus and to access the OPAC and see how much research material I can get in the library but I ended up browsing the books and actually taking down some notes which prevented me from going to the Marikina RTC as I earlier planned. Who gets pumped up by just going to a nice library? Not me, but almost. 

Its either im a nerd deep inside (I admit Im a geek but a nerd? im not quite sure) or the lack of alcohol is driving me nuts. I mean, I didn’t even take college that seriously back then and I just slept in the library. College for me wasn’t an intellectual pursuit or something like that. Well, I did read the assigned readings for Fr. David’s classes that I wasn’t taking and I went nuts on the books on Marxism, meaning i read a lot of stuff that weren’t required. Crap. Im a nerd in denial.
