The More Things Change...

My freshman year of college I lived in 'The North Quad,' which was as the name suggests, a group of four different dorms. The dorms were on a big hill. We lived on the 13th floor & there was a long parking lot between where the dorms were and where most of the academic building were.

One of our favorite past times was yelling out the windows heckling people. My windows faced into the quad. When we got home at night we yelled ignorant things at people coming back from parties or the bars from my room. Clayton's windows faced the parking lot. That is where we yelled ignorant things at people walking to and from class. I remember often walking back from class hoping and praying nobody would notice me, because I never knew what could come from that window. Nothing was off limits.

Last Saturday I relived one of those moments. I was getting into my car in the parking lot of the apartment complex where I live and I was heckled. It was quite cold if you remember. I was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a pair of shorts. An unidentified woman from the 3 floor yelled at me. She said, 'It's cold out. Put some pants on. Are you crazy?' I was stunned. I went back to the days on campus & I laughed and I laughed...
