Forever Stained


Everyday there is always something that makes me laugh hysterically.
So yesterday, I was able to go to the BYU vs. USU basketball, it was a great game and a awesome game to be a cougar. :)
However, I met some friends at the library afterward, because we are just stalwart students like that. I was concentrating pretty hard on my Statistics homework. Then out of the blue I hear Kennedy say, "Its a bird". And then I hear the flapping. Stacie yells, "No that's a BAT". At this point the 4th floor of the library turned into chaos. I was in awe and didn't move, meanwhile Stacie and Kennedy are clinging to each other and hiding behind bookshelves. As the bat swooped around the ceiling it got lower and lower and then all of a sudden it was over our table. At this point, I freaked out and jumped into the bookshelves with Kennedy and Stacie. The bat migrated to the other side of the 4th floor and we knew because we could hear the chaos forming as well. Mind you the 4th floor the library is the Quiet Zone. It suddenly turned into the NOT so quiet zone. I heard two boys yell, "Its like the office." They darted off with a coat and a garbage can. At the entry of the 4th floor the bat was trapped, by this time it had quite a crowd, paparazzi included. It was quite the scene. They threw a jacket at it and the bat hit the wall and fell to the ground, it got out from underneath the jacket. The boys threw another jacket at it and it was trapped. They quickly grabbed the garbage can and scooped it up, put a garbage bag over it and made a little air hole, so the little buddy could breathe. Everyone gathered and took pictures of the little creepy thing. I don't know where they put the bat, but about 20 minutes later the police came up. They said they had heard there was a bat on the 4th floor, we were like way to go security, way to be on top of it. After the commotion settled, it went back to the normal grind at the library. That spot on the 4th floor of the library right by the media lab will forever be stained in my memory.
