Napping in college

Aug 27, 2008 09:12

Since right now my ma drops me off at school, I have to get up at around 6:30, leave the house by 7-7:20 depending on the campus. It's exausting...bleh!

In IA campus, it's a little earlier class-wise so I dont have to wait as long. But, in cedar rapids, I arrived at 7:23 and my class wasn't until noon. I figured I'd sneak a nap in so I could be better rested for my class, and I intended just until 9:40. The library was closed when I went to it so I found one of those cubicle-desk sort of things with the privacy walls and set the alarm, falling asleep after a long wait (it's very noisy).

An hour later, someone shakes my shoulder and I dazedly looked up to see who it was. I was worried it was teacher, irate for napping in such a place. "Hey, do you have a class you should be in? " "No..." "You've been sleeping here for 2 hours," It was a group of guys of maybe 7-10, probably 7 though. I say 10 since 3 guys sort of meandered over before and I assume if they'd noticed they'd been hanging around that wall for awhile. "Ah, I came at 7, my classes dont start until 12" "Shiiiiit! I didn't even know school was OPEN that early!" I tried my hand at smiling (probably very frightening considering I was barely awake and I have top braces...I dont want to imagine that part. A few minutes later some guys made a noise at me and I looked over and was a bit more flatfaced than friendly. Still, I was a little shook up but amused at the first group of boys. I was worried that this may mark me somehow, you know? Reputation-wise. Kaiti said she thought it sounded funny, and that they probably wouldn't be all "hey, it's the girl who NAPS!" . If they do, I'll be all "I WAS the girl who napped, till you woke me up! ohhhh!" and try to play it off. It could have been alot worse I guess, and I was honestly very tired. I think there's worse social foi pais then sneaking a nap in cubicle-desks nobody is using... (I was sitting in the chair so it wasn't THAT weird).

now I gotta go waste time and eat something before my stomach punishes me by imploding.
