Information Resource Centre vs Hostel Room

Just as I thought that the Information Resource Centre (IRC), also known as the library, is conducive for students to study during the Study Week, I found my thoughts totally wrong, especially if you choose to study in the IRC at night!

No offence to the librarians in the IRC, but I seriously think that they could do better than to let students having discussion in the library. If they had to discuss, can't they do it in the discussion rooms? Discuss whatever you want and when you're finished, you can come out again. With almost everybody having so-called "quiet" discussions, the Information Resource Centre becomes unconducive and not tranquil enough for people to do revision. In fact, I find my room much quieter and more conducive compared to the IRC to do my studies at night.

No doubt, the IRC would be very quiet in the morning (because everybody stayed up late at night and they become too tired to wake up in the morning). Therefore, starting tomorrow, I've decided to wake up early in the morning to go to the IRC to study. Then, I'll have lunch at Pocket D before continuing my studies there until early evening. That will be the time for me to have a break for about three hours before continuing my revision at night in my room. Of course, I'll have to put my laptop and other things away to avoid distraction (or do I need to?).

In a way, the IRC is much better a place to study compared to my own room. The reason is that if I've any problems that I couldn't solve, I could always run to my lecturers' offices nearby for help. Plus, with all the reference books that I could find, studying in the IRC should be the best place. But once again, if tranquility is absent, the purpose of studying in the IRC is completely defeated.

Another reason that I don't like going to the IRC at night is that you'll be answering people's questions more than you study. I've noticed that people would come with their problems on subjects different from what I'm studying, and I dislike that. For example, people would come to me with Chemistry problems when I'm studying Physics. I totally can't stand that but for once and a while I had to tolerate that. But eventually, this obstructs me from achieving my goal of studying whatever I want. Unwanted pressure is added to me.

Why would people be worried at the week before exams start? If only they'd worried long ago...
