It’s Day 1 of Final Exams, and the logical place for the Daily Deac to focus on is the ZSR Library. Here’s an impressionistic field report (and some pics) from some well-placed sources at the ZSR.
“Thursday, Reading Day, started slow, with students taking advantage of the free day to study before exams began on Friday. By Thursday evening, ZSR was packed!”
“It’s the first day of exams and the library is full, but quieter than usual as students focus on final exams, papers and projects.”
“The atrium was full when I walked in at 7:55 am – well not full, but probably 20-30 people in it. Usually there are 2-3 max that early.”
I was in there myself around 10:30 am today. The line at Starbucks extended at least half way up the stairs, telling you just how much our students need their java right now. I wanted to find a spot and do a proper Five Senses of the ZSR, but most of the chairs were full and I wanted to keep the open ones for the students.
The library decorating committee has done another great job providing a fun theme for Finals Week. This one is all about playing cards, and dice, and everything is in red (my favorite!) and black. There is this great sign IT’S YOUR LUCKY DAY spelled out in playing cards. There are garlands of playing cards, streamers, and more.
Because I am an enormous Sinatra fan, the cards and dice made me think of this song.
Finals aren’t nice – but at least we can put a bit of whimsy into the process. Here’s some shots of your hardworking Deacs below.
