It is three in the morning on a Tuesday, and I’m walking toward table eighteen, the one I call home. I pass the waiters, give a brief nod to the 【小题1】 and take my seat. I 【小题2】 the “usual,” water and peanut butter pie. Yes, I’m at an all-night diner.
I start to take out my books, 【小题3】 full well that I will be 【小题4】 on the same page of Socrates that I’ve been on for the better part of the semester. Of course, it’s 【小题5】 —for my group that is. I wait for the empty chairs around me to be 【小题6】 .
Just as the Muzak songs start to repeat themselves, Shana and Jenny walk in. I am 【小题7】 with the usual big hugs and smiles. 【小题8】 , the diner stops being a twenty-for-hour restaurant with bad service and bees my place—my home 【小题9】 the prisonlike dorm room. For the next couple of hours, we will joke about people we know, talk about books, reflect on the meaning of life, quote movies and 【小题10】 new private jokes. Table number eighteen is our 【小题11】 home.
During my senior year of college, I started going to the diner for a temporary escape from a dorm room that felt like it was closing in on me. Not to 【小题12】 the phones, the stereo and the puter. How could anyone seriously 【小题13】 to have good study habits? Some friends of mine told me about the place; they went there to study, and they really liked it.
So I tried it. It felt remarkably freeing. I start going there every night (except weekends, of course), and, believe me it was not because the pies were 【小题14】 great either. Maybe it would force me to open my books and my 【小题15】 would improve. Right? Well….
But that’s not the 【小题16】 . I mean, anyone who has gone to college knows that it’s not only about forcing yourself to wake up at 7:45 A.M. (after you had gone to sleep two hours earlier) to listen to a professor spoon-feeding you information 【小题17】 the significance of the Battle of Hastings. It is 【小题18】 about finding a little haven where you can create what will be the most important thing in your life—yourself. At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as 【小题19】 to me as my Social Security number.
Through laughter, tears, learning, growing and the 【小题20】 free ice cream, we found a sanctuary. A place where we could be ourselves.
