Where to Go when there's Nowhere To Go

Where do you go when there's nowhere to go?

I was sitting in my apartment measuring longitudal waves with my physics slinky when my roommate and her two friends burst into the room talking very loudly the first night of marriage. My roommate's (let's call her miss wheat-she has celiac's disease) best friend is getting married in a few weeks, and I suppose in the euphoria of the whole experience they decided to have a party in my room, laughing and talking loudly while discussing very intimate and girlish things amongst their endless giggling. One of the girls decided to take and use some of my things, and after dodging around three excited girls and two pizzas scattered on the floor of my bedroom, I decided that perhaps the best place for me at this point in time would be very, very far away from them. Their euphoria and general sound level was making my brain confused and disoriented, and I was not eager for a night of listening to girl talk and jests about my "relationship" with Mr. Piano.

So I left. I had to drop off my homework in the science building, so I headed on campus. The problem with being on campus, however, is that everything closes down at 11:00 and it's not the best idea to be alone at night in a university setting. I had options for the next four hours, but none of them involved what I would consider to be an ideal Friday night. And I didn't grab my Oreos either, so that was even more of a bummer.

What am I supposed to do? I felt as though I was practically shoved out of my apartment. I didn't belong there anymore and staying there would be pure torture. On the other hand, there is not a way to really be comfortable anywhere on campus. I'm stuck in a position where I have nowhere to belong. More than anything I want to have a quiet night in where I can watch a TV show and read a book and eat apples and peanut butter. I've been waiting for the weekend for so long, feeling as though I don't belong anywhere feels more tragic than it should. (heeey-watch for a post on entitlement comin' soon!)

Where do I go?


UPDATE: (not really, since I'm writing this in conjunction with the rest of the post) While I was writing this I was sitting in the science center and Mr. Piano came by to drop off his homework. What a coincidence that I just happened to be sitting in the exact right area to run into Mr. Piano at just the right time before his work started so that we could run into each other! It's like it was planned or something (hem hem)
