...revelry writing my paper about globalization in the Middle East. I was surrounded by dozens of students; all I could hear was incessant typing, the clicking of pens, and on occasion, the creak of some old dusty chairs. As I began to procrastinate, anticipating an endless night at Lamont Library, it saddened me to think how quickly time has passed during my two years here.

In all cases, it must be better stressed that seemingly normal people, perhaps even that person next to you in Lamont, have used these resources and have benefited from them.
