Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I actually wrote about that once--the first time I ever visited the Radcliffe Camera, I was genuinely nervous. I guess the trick is to *look* unimpressed, even if you're literally in awe--just today I was unlocking my bike outside the Rad Cam and overheard a girl, leaning casually against the building, on her mobile, chatting away to her mother, asking her to look in the closet for a shirt she'd left behind, and meanwhile tour groups were shuffling past and the bells were ringing out.

I spent most of my time (well, what time I spent in the libraries) using the Rad and I always felt simultaneously cool *and* embarrassed because of the long walk up to the door! It's like all the tourists sort of stand around and gawk at it while you happen to be strolling up. I always felt so conspicuous! But yeah, being part of THE CLUB is pretty cool. I miss it. :) Do you ever use the Radcliffe Camera?
