I was really into '24' at university, and it resulted in a lot of lost hours that could have been spent at the library. If you could have told me then I would be in it one day, I'd have hit the roof.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I loved the theatre and I was just doing theatre 24/7 and kept dropping courses because I didn't have the time and the chancellor thought that wasn't a good idea after awhile.
For me, college wasn't a breeze. I had 8 o'clock classes, I worked from 3 to 11 at the Settlement House. On weekends, if Northwestern Bell needed me, I'd troubleshoot for them, and I had a steady girl. God!
Like a lot of inwardly drawn young people, I spent a lot of time in libraries. At my high school, I often spent my lunch breaks there.
Yeah, I spent about 20 years in a dorm room. It took me a while to graduate.
My Alma mater was books, a good library... I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.
I spent more time at the library than anyone my age when I was a kid.
In high school, I worked eight hours a day just so I could get into the college of my dreams and say that I got in - and I never went.
In the last century, I earned my living as a librarian, and I loved it. I'd have to take some classes to get up to speed with 21st-century librarianship.
I did '24;' it was terrible. I hated every moment of it.
I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.
