And, Finally, I Start Working

A whole room of IES students frantically trying to finish their essays, and The Man in the Black Hat is talking. He won't stop talking, and he's talking about The Return of the King, which he saw last night.

I'm officially lifting my xmas moratorium on getting-pissed-off-at-people. Then I'm leaving this computer lab and going to the library, where I can work amidst silent and respectful germans.
