We were staying at a hotel for a thanksgiving school trip and whoever wanted to go was invited to a dinner somewhere else. I was alone in the hotel room I was sharing with two other people who had their shoes strewn all over the place. I wondered to myself how they were able to bring so many pairs of shoes with them as I ordered them neatly in the corner of the room. The bus was waiting but I needed somewhere to change my pants and for some reason the hotel room wasn’t adequate enough. I visited the neighboring rooms but they were all occupied and thus didn’t have the privacy I was looking for.

I ended up missing the bus and eating at the hotel.
