The cripple

Well before Spring Break I sprained my ankle. Under normal cirucmstances this would not be so bad...but for Spring Break, no one wants to limp around. But to make matters more interesting I was going on a Mission Trip To Sri Lanka. There is nothing better then limping around when you are trying to make the impression that you are there to help.

The point to all this is that my ankle ended up not even being an issue in stopping me from having fun and being able to help. But before I went on the trip I caused a fellow student an interesting quandry one morning....

I went to breakfast that Wednesday morning as usual. A little tired from lack of sleep and limping because of my swollen ankle. My plan was simple, go in and get breakfast and then head to the nurse's to find out what they could do for me. I got my tray, filled my plate, and headed over to the drink line. I was half way there when I realized the guy in line behind me for food was also heading to the drink line. This normally would not be a problem but he was walking full speed and then noticed I was limping in the same direction that he was. He hesitated having the choice of either slowing down and letting me go first or staying commited to his brisk walk and clearly beat me to the line. I chuckled to myself knowing it didn't matter to me and slightly ammused at the quandry I was putting him in.
