Ahhhhhhhhh!...*grumble*
So the libraries. I´m looking for one book, Nacimiento del Cristianismo (birth of christianity). First, I need a student card. The day after I arrive, I go to my office and ask for a card. It´ll take 3 business days and won´t be ready till next Tuesday. So that was last week, I get my card. Yay! Find out the next day, that I still can´t check out books, now I need a bar code on my card. It´s too late to go to the library services office now, so I go the next day, last Thursday. I trek across town, and they tell me it´ll take another 3 business days; come back Tuesday. Today, I go back this morning. They haven´t done anything with my card, but they tell me to wait and it takes 3 minutes to get me a bar code. 3 minutes! I waited 5 days for that. Okay good, so they told me my book was in the Filosophía library, and I go there. Turns out it´s in the Filología library. Filolo...whatever. What is Filología anyway? No one seems to know. And of course, this building is on the other side of town...20 minutes later I arrive at the Facultad de Filología. I find out there are actually 2 buildings for this discipline, and of course, I´m at the wrong one...10 minutes later. This time I´m at the right building, but the library is actually just down the street...3 minutes later. Librarian checks, and the book is not checked out and shows me on a map of the library where to find it. Huzzah...I go there...I look...it´s not there. Why would it be there? What was I thinking? Of course it´s not there. 2 copies of the book, missing. So I now have a useable library card, I know where the correct library is, and this information is utterly useless to me.
*Angry*

I concur with susie :)
and it was told exactly how I imagine you running about the city and then having the "angry" face on :)
Don't worry! 10 years from now you'll look back on this day and just laugh your head off, even if you can't right now! (although the rest of us are :-) He he he....
