What's school without caffeine?

Last week during a break between parts 1 and 2 of anatomy lecture, I headed off to the Medical Alumni Association office to get myself some tea. The MAA office lies one floor down from the MS1 lecture hall, but unfortunately, the escalator was broken, fenced off while they were doing repairs (I assume). So being impatient and not wanting to wait for the elevator, I proceeded to run down the up escalator, which was indeed on and going full speed. I made quite a racket as I flew down the escalator in my flip-flops, nearly losing my balance in the process. But I remained upright! And when I got to the MAA, there were a couple people starting to file in. One classmate, Dev, was nearly finished making his hot cocoa/tea/coffee, and some people just arriving commented, "Wow, you got here fast!" Dev responded, "Yeah. When I come, I come fast."

There was a bit of awkward silence, followed by uncontrolled laughter from everyone present. Classic.
