... On an uncomfortable vinyl couch
I got an email today--"You know you grew up in a small town when..."--and in the miles and miles of addresses before I actually got to the email, there were quite a few people from my high school; people I haven't talked to in almost 2 years. It was interesting to see all of them... to kinda figure out who keeps in touch with whom still, who sent it to whom... all that.
In high school, I had this ability to fall asleep just about anywhere. I would use my backpack as a pillow, lie down on the floor, and catch a few minutes before class, during lunch, or during a spare. Sometimes, I'd go into the library, or during my spare, it would be on the floor in the Pit--our cafeteria/common area/hangout spot type place.
The best, though, was in grade 12, when I had a key to the Student Council office, because I was SC president, and I would go lie down on this little vinyl couch-type thing. You know, the kind you find in the school sick room. There, I could doze undisturbed. The only thing was that it was always so cold, so I'd curl up in a little ball, pull my jacket over me, and try to cover as much of my body as possible.
In retrospect, I realize that if I'd been smart, I would have just taken a blanket to school and left it in there. The room was always locked, so it wasn't like anyone would steal it, and I would have used it often enough to make it worth it, but for some reason, I just never thought of it. Brain power diminishes when you're focused on graduating, and all extras kinda fly out the window.
My locker was such a drama geek's locker, too. I always had some props, costumes, scripts, set pieces, paint brushes, light designs, or something in there! Between Breanna's and my lockers, I think we stored half the drama department. You just never knew what kinds of treasures you'd find in there... or what would hit you on the head when you opened the door! :o)
