A Library Moment

My anatomy final is fast approaching, so I am hanging out more at the library. The other day I went to the library to meet with my tutor. I climbed the same stairs pictured here to get to a study room at the top. (also, at the top of these stairs you will find a TIME CAPSULE! Filled with things from 1983, I really don't get it. I think they are opening it in 2013 or something...) So I get to the top of the stairs and I see Tahir - a kid who sits behind me. He tries to steal my breakfast just about every morning. So Tahir basically lives at the library, while I only go there when absolutely necessary. This was our conversation at the top, or at least how I remember it:
(in whisper voice, of course)
T: Wow! What are you doing here? Are you lost?
F: No, I'm here to study.
T: Oh, well let me tell you how it works
F: Ok!
T: That area over there (he points towards the study tables) is a cesspool of distraction. Boys and girls fraternize. It's really sinful to be over there, especially for people from our part of the world. You really can't be over there if you want to get anything done.
F: Ohh! What are those things on those shelves?
T: Those are books
F: Books?
T: Yeah, you see there are things called letters, and letters become words, and words become sentences. Sentences tell stories and those get put into books.
F: Really!? wow!
T: I know! Like a couple rows down there are all these books about the uterus.
F: The uterus! I have to know about the uterus! Awesome!
T: It's really interesting. Like I found out that I don't have a uterus.
F: Really? That sucks, how are you going to have a baby?
T: I don't know. But you should go read them
F: But I don't speak English... Ok, I'm going to go meet my tutor now. Byeee.

Farrah, this entry was too much! You are cheating on the backrowballers blog. Finally, this was also disturbing because Princess Tahir's one moment of funniness has been forever immortalized on the internet. Tragedy if I ever done seen one.
