Minotaur in the Labyrinth

The library. It can work miracles and it can get you frustrated. The library here? Well, most likely, it will get you lost. With no way of simply walking around to find the section, there is an index of book numbers according to topic which you need to decipher before heading to a floor, then a section, then a row, and then an area. So guess what happened the first time I went to look for a book.

I got lost in one of the deepest little lairs of the library. First you go to the second floor of the main building. Then you discover the elevator that you need to take to another place all together, what they call annexes. If I only knew that on the first run. Luckily I was with a friend and the whole experience was a little less haunted house, monster in the abandoned library. We took the elevator down 4 floors, yes underground. I know, underground? What? Yeah, I guess you can  make a library creepier. So then the hunt begins. At least we had a number to look for because I was, for once, smart enough to think ahead. We walked around, checked the aisles etc. The usual library stuff. Then finally found it, we needed now to find the book. It's harder than you think, to some extent the books are sorted numerically and alphabetically. But at one point it all just stops. Screw that. 

Now I have about 30 books in my room so I don't have to go back this semester. At least I hope not. It's freaky there. Other than that. The library is about the size of the entire Madrid campus. Also, it has more floors, and I'm pretty sure there are some more annexes I don't know of yet. I feel like there should be a war bunker there or something. Or maybe a secret tunnel that leads to the arch.
