I can find it myself! Or ...

I can find it myself! Or ...

I was at the library today. Again. Every time I walk into that place, I get that exciting feeling, how many books are there, waiting for me. I had my to-read list with me, and then, where to start? I ran the computer to find out, where the hell those books are. 5 minutes later, still staring at monitor, I had no idea on which shelve this particular book was.

I was considering asking the librarian, but No!, I have my reputation, I can do this! I mean, I have been in library so many times by now, I should know how the hell to find that stack of paper with coloured cover on it, but yet I don't. So I investigated what those weird numbers by the books title mean, then rose from the chair in style of victory and went on adventure between shelves to find that treasure. Walking, searching, sighing with despair, more of walking, almost giving up ... 

But then, just when I intended to go towards that microphone at the desk, to say: "Can the book Divergent please come to the front desk immediately? Book Divergent to the desk! Thank you.", I saw it. There it was. My precious, all shiny as an opened fridge in the shadow of night. I needed JUST 20 minutes.

And then I remembered, that's only one book, six more to go! So I walked back to computer in devastation, searching for other book, when suddenly, out of nowhere, librarian asked me, if I needed any help. In my head, I was arguing with myself, whether say yes or no, kinda like "Damn, I'm doing just fine, don't question my abilities!" versus "You're an idiot. Let the professionals handle your hard-to-do situation. The library won't be open whole night for your tiny brain to find stuff. Help is advised."

Eight and a half minutes later, I had all 7 books in my hands, thanks to I-know-where-every-single-book-is librarian. I walked outside, when a not-understandable thought hit me. "It's still daylight? Normally, it's night, when I come out of the library ..."
