I LOVE THE LIBRARY!!!!!!!!!
I love the Library too hen x
Monday: First years?
Tuesday: Second..?
Wednesday: Girls
Thursday: Boys…
so… technically, if you’re a 1st or 2nd year… you get two days… which isn’t fair.. because when you’re in 5th year and have a homework pile the size of your leg - you kinda need access to the internet (isn’t that why it’s here to begin with?)
Anyway. i reckon fith years should be allowed everyday-access…since we’re studying for exams that’ll shape the rest of our lives … it just seems more important that two days wasted on cyber-video games ..
It’s a bit like supply and demand. If more 5th years came in to study on their days then we might be able to allocate more time for them to use the library. As it stands, however, there aren’t really enough using the library within normal times to warrant extra access, so I don’t think they need any more time.
Fair point, though.
