I am inside the South Dakota State University Briggs Library, right now.

The Hilton M. Briggs library is spacious and, most of the time, it offers the best place to study and to get the homework done. For those in the graduate school (MSc and PhD students), the graduate student computer laboratory might be the room for you. It is connected to the university’s licensed software like SAS for statistics. It has its own printer and scanner too.

In normal days, the room isn’t filled with students. However, during the final week, the 10 PCs are never free. Getting a space could be a problem. Getting the room free from noise is the biggest problem!

Today, 4 American guys are discussing their Statistics assignment like crazy, inside the computer lab, without minding other students around, without thinking they are with a Filipino who might put a bomb inside their mouths to stop them from uttering another single loud word, silence them once and for all. Among the 4, this Chinese/Korean/Japanese looking guy is the noisiest. Dude, shut up!

I am not even sure if they are graduate students, nobody checks the ID at the door. There should be a policy of checking IDs and making sure only grad students could access the lab. Americans with earsplitting mouths must be sent away!

I've experienced the same thing in SDSMT's library. There were two men talking in such loud voices I struggled to stop myself from throwing my huge hardbound book at their faces.
