Thursday, 11:18 pm

Friscers, I award you serious respect points right now. For a Thursday night, coming off of the tail end of crossover hour, the noise level is as it should be and there are actually open chairs and desks. Thursdays have never quite followed the rules of weekday traffic patterns, but it is nevertheless shocking to see the study center being used for, well, studying.

In other news, the severe weather conditions (and therefore wet footwear) have led numerous users to shed their shoes and traipse around barefoot, but hey — socked feet are quieter anyway.
