My second most dramatic memory of the BYU library is the night that I got locked in with my boyfriend. They used to play the theme song of Hawaii 5-0 at closing time and somehow we missed it. I'm sure we were just studying really hard. Can't say it wasn't an adventure being alone together in the library with all the lights out.
My most dramatic memory was the time I passed out while I was waiting in line to take a physical science test in the testing center, which used to be in the library. I was so sick, but I had a deadline. The line was so long, it went out of the building and down the sidewalk.
It seemed to take hours, but I finally made it to the head of the line. Just as I got up to the counter to get my test, I felt really horrible and the next thing I knew I was lying on the floor and someone behind me in line was saying, "I know her! She lives in Helaman Halls!"
I couldn't just leave when I came to. Oh, no. I had to be escorted by campus security to the health center to get checked out. So there I was with my No. 2 pencil in hand and an officer at my elbow guiding me past the long line of students on the sidewalk to the waiting patrol car. Can't say at least some of them weren't thinking the worst.

I hope your professor gave you an extension.
I remember waiting until the Hawaii 5-0 song was over and having all, ALL the lights off on the sixth floor. trying to feel my way out of the library. Oh and sneaking in Taco Bell with Big Gulps for 4 people, in my oversized man overcoat, that everyone wore in the '80s.
