You can’t assume cause and effect by simple observation. You’re falling into the misinterpretation of correlations trap.

Spain was not a good idea or carrying the books around?
I was at the library in Rockville Md yesterday, could not get much done. The place was packed (people mostly studying for 2 year college finals, SAT, etc.) Ran into one other studying for L2 and one for L3. But between all of the kids playing in the square overlooking the library, and people coming in and out, it was noisier than home.
Good news if non-AFers are not really studying! It increase our chances of passing
