12/07/2005: "The spectacle from up here"

The air is different in Robarts Library, so musty and thin. I dread when the particular book I need is on the bottom of the shelf, because it means that I'll have to bend down to get it and then get a head rush on the way up. It's a fine place to study though, if I score a good seat and as long as I don't require optimum amounts of oxygen. Each floor of the stacks is shaped in a triangle, and there are study areas in each of the apexes. The tip of each apex is glass, and has great wide open views. The awkward triangle shape means no desks fit in there, so it is just a place to stand and keep tabs on the city. Today I spent most of my time in the Yellow Apex, thirteenth floor.
