Before I came to MIT, I never ever ever slept in public. I hadn't even thought of that as a thing that I might someday do..... until first semester.
Now sleeping around campus is a normal thing for me. You're working on a pest, or trying really hard to read 8.02 course notes, and you start to fade a little. So naturally you whip out your puffy winter coat and make a pillow on the nearer surface to your head: be it table, floor or laptop keyboard (would not recommend). Lights out in a matter of seconds.
Unfortunately, sad things happen when you leave the MIT campus. For example: did you know that it is strictly against the Boston Public Library Policy to sleep anywhere in the library???!! Yeah, me neither... Until I was woken up by a trained security guard patrolling the shelves. One of the ones whose job is to search for those of us who are serious slackers. And there I was peacefully sleeping, thinking that the security guards were there to make sure people didn't steal books :( Sad sad panda.......
Just goes to show.... MIT is a truly unique place. And be careful when you try to go about your normal routines when you leave the comfort and understanding of campus.
