I had agreed to participate in a sit-in protest but I didn’t realize until the day of that it was just me and a friend. It was early in the morning and I was handed a sleeping bag as I entered the room. The two of us sat in silence on the carpet of the large and mostly empty office while a staff member was at their desk in the corner. Before I knew it, hours had passed and they left for their lunch break. It dawned on me that it was the first day of class and I was utterly bored and likely wasting my time. I turned over to my friend to ask if he really intended to stay here the whole day but he was fast asleep.
