ReplyDeleteSo funny. You have to explain the elvator to the 3rd floor thing though...?? I don't get that one.
ReplyDeleteI tried explaining it to Grant, and he still didn't get it. It's definitely PCC-mindset. Okay, after chapel, alot of people had classes in the same building (the AC). It's was a 5 or 6 story building. We only had 10 minutes from the end of chapel until the beginning of class, and if you're late you get demerits. Well, everyone would pack onto the elevators. If you were a girl that took the elevator to floors 1-3...watch out! That was just wrong! You were definitely expected to take the stairs. I think it was the same mentality in the dorms, but I only lived in the dorms one semester, so I'm not positive.
ReplyDeletewouldn't let me post before, let's try again:
