What Happened?

So it's been two weeks. And it's been a whirlwind. Well, that's not entirely true. It's really just been crazy and study-filled. Well, not-so-much study-filled, as it has been work filled. Pretty crazy actually. Had to write this memo, for the 4th time. Nothing says hard work like trying to write the same paper/ideas down 4 times, and turning in an assignment that i have no confidence in.

oh.

well.

For the record. The only thing anybody missed last week was this...

the AU campus has had some 120+ cases of swine flu, and 5 have been at WCL. Naturally this would leave me to be less inclined to hit the library...if I didn't have to be there to study. Oh well. I suppose a little swine flu scare won't keep me away. Besides, it happens all over the place, and the moment any person gets sick, as we're instructed every opportunity a professor has a chance, we should just stay home. Do have one particular instructor who must be at the forefront of WCL Swine Flu defense. So naturally, a slight scare, a deft sneeze, a reported student with the potential to have swine flu (which usually involved hitting the health center; being told they can't really test for swine flu at the health center...so they assume you have it; work off of that), all leads to a reminder of the proper procedure. When this person has found out they have swine flu, they need to stay home. Period. Stay home, don't worry about classes, they can be recorded/taped. We can watch them on our time.

So, if I ever miss class, I won't really be missing it. Ever.

Back to the library. Been studying there, but the reasons to stop going pile on, as there was an incident recently. First, I wasn't involved in any way. I didn't know the person, nor the witness. That being said, here's the great e-mail I, and everyone else received:

TO ALL STUDENTS, FACULTY & STAFF

INCIDENT REPORT

Incident:

On Monday, September 28, at approximately 11:00 pm, a male visitor to the Pence Library exposed himself to a WCL female student while in the quiet reading room of the library. The male then ran out of the library and although chased by WCL students across Mass Ave was able to avoid getting caught. During the chase he dropped a bag containing personal papers possible indicating his name but no address. This information is being processed by the AU Public Safety and the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation and further action to a possible apprehension.

The following was reported to WCL and to Public Safety:

A WCL female student observed a male sitting two carrels next to her with his pants open gratifying himself while watching the student. When the male noticed her he got up and started running towards the library exit. The student ran after him telling and yelling to stop him. As they ran by the Security desk, a WCL Security Officer chased the male offender across Mass Ave in the direction of 49^th Street where the male offender was able to get way.

Yeah. There's nothing else to be said. Period.

I'm a little tired, but I'm thinking i'll put up something a little more pleasant next time.
