Revision: when any little thing becomes a huge deal
Why do I only post when upset/annoyed/worried? I am sorry for that, I always want to actually say stuff (most recently regarding the new ep of Gossip Girl which is so much love!) and also post photos, because I have been trying to do this weekly photo meme and have been taking photos of my day (in the library! Though slightly more exciting than than..slightly) and other things but instead you are getting a mini rant.
The thing about a library is that you are meant to be quiet or whisper quietly. The thing about a college library is that you tend to be surrounded by your friends which makes the above rule ever so slightly obsolete. And yeah people tend to whisper rather loudly for rather prolonged periods of time. And okay I admit to being completely guilty of that myself, (in my defence, in more cases than not people come over to talk to me, I have been told that I am a magnet for talking, and yeah maybe I am) but no one has ever told me to be quiet and if anyone did I would.
The thing is I have a bit of a problem a wide range of noises irritate me to an extreme extent, like I would be completely unable to concentrate if someone is tapping a pen or whispering.
The other thing is that when it is your friends, it is not easy to tell them to be quiet.
But I really couldn't work, and they were not even sitting that close and I could hear pretty much every word and I didn't say anything for about 10 minutes, eventually I just really needed to work.
So I walked over and asked whether they could whisper a bit more quietly as they are far enough for me to not need to hear their whispering, they looked at me and said nothing and I sat back down.
There was silence for 5 seconds then the whispering carried on. Now I did say I could hear them.
If they are talking about me I am going to HEAR.
So what I did hear was this: "I know she finds talking really annoying, but she does it all the time" something something "it's not like there are many people here" something "she can't just" something "annoying"
Maybe I am exaggerating. I know I am exaggerating. But this upset me for like an hour afterward, to an extent where I was too upset to work and had to go on cute overload to try and cheer up! And am now posting about it so that I can try to make the feeling like a kicked puppy go away.
Should have just kept quiet, they would have stopped eventually! :(

(Also they're just stupid/thoughtless for not realising that you can hear them.)
I want to do that photo meme too, especially as we're coming to the end of our time at university. I feel really stupid/touristy taking photos of uni though! I should just get over it and take them anyway...

I feel super stupid taking photos, especially since there are like a million tourists doing the same thing, but have been doing it in the last few days and it is really fun! I sneaked up on people in the library and took some here too! :D
