Reading period is nearly upon us. 4 pm on a random weekday and the computer table is swamped. Plus a sign near the security desk upstairs proclaims "Open 633 hours!" During finals, there is no rest for the weary. And apparently, none for the Frisc either.

Sunday is usually prime Frisc time, but following Spring Weekend, we applaud those of you who made it here at all. Volume is appropriate, and availabilities are widespread. Computers, chairs and classrooms ... oh my!
Friday, 1:35 pm
Hello Spring Weekend, from a deserted and desolate Frisc. People here are limited in number, but working furiously. Only the strong survive.
Thursday, 00:10
Midnight mezz count: 36.
Volume still at the typical deafening roar we've come to expect from our favorite open-air study space.

Well, Emmy's Spring Week theories aside, there are plenty of people with their noses to the grindstone here in the Frisc. Nary a computer to be had in the basement!
But keep your heads up, everyone. We may be kicking off Spring Weekend in a SciLi state of mind, but I'll take the Frisc Company over Fish Company any day.*
*I actually wouldn't, OF COURSE.

Comforting to see that some of the people who were here late last night are still here …
Less reassuring that they are passed out in the blue square chairs.

2 am arrivals. Seemingly strange to the unknowing, but this, my friends, is the Rock migration.

It has been quite some time since TFTF reported live from the dwindling hours of the night. Let's just say we're not the only ones pulling the pre Spring Weekend all nighter. Despite the seemingly intense work habits though, spring cheer is definitely in the air. Just wait till 2 a.m., though.

Crossover hour is alive and bumping tonight, but this marks what will probably be the final rush before Spring Weekend fully takes hold. Common knowledge states that Wednesday's FishCo kicks the week off; papers due next Monday are given an unofficial Tuesday night deadline. So brace yourselves if you were hoping for a computer or a classroom tonight. We're in it to win it.

Study rooms are not meant for graphic art. From my perch at the computer table, I spy a donkey, a unicorn, a serpent, a genie an, angel and a woman lying on a car. Happy 4/20, Frisc.

Bringing a hot water heater to the Frisc is bizarre and unnecessary. The cafe will allow you to fill a cup for free — you know that, right? The whistling noise is cute though...
Sunday, 2:12 pm
The Frisc is shockingly empty for a Sunday afternoon. DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE MIDTERMS AND FINAL PAPERS?
Monday, 19:45
You know it's getting close to crossover hour when, having no other choice, people start to fill in the low, awkward spring green chairs in 25 decibels.
Monday, 10:35
There is a bag sitting underneath the western 25 decibels computer table which has been sitting there for the last 90 minutes. Three people have come and gone from the computer. Guess the 'see something, say something' rule doesn't apply in the Frisc. Where are the Amtrak police when you need them?

FUN FACT: Though wireless is sketchy at best in most parts of the Frisc, the signal comes through strong and clear in the elevator. Unfortunately, there are no outlets. This is only a relevant concern due to the extended wait times that can be encountered while ascending.

Oh, SciLi! What big windows you have!
The better to torture you with, my dear. Come closer.
