When I was at Lipscomb I lived on the 2nd floor of High Rise dormitory during my Freshmen year. It was convenient in that you didn’t have to climb stairs the whole time, however it did have its drawbacks. My room was right next door to the dorm’s computer lab, and very near the lobby area. Late night blaring televisions seemed to be the norm or sorts.
Then there were the car alarms. They’d go off ever so often. You could easily hear them from cars parked beside the dorm. One alarm in particular I remember to this day. It was on a red Chevy with Nebraska tags. If there was ever so much of a slight breeze, the car alarm would go off, which usually meant it went off at 2AM during rainstorms. It got bad enough that I thumbed through the dorm’s directory to see if there were anyone from Nebraska staying there. I never got around to doing anything about it. Maybe I should have left a note.
Speaking of notes, I did get a note on my car once. I had parked in this somewhat small parking space near Sewell Hall (another men’s dorm). The next time I drove my car I found a note on the windshield. It had Mickey Mouse giving me an obscene gesture stating something about me parking too close to their car. Ok whatever. The mere fact that someone would take the time to photocopy these notes and having them available in their car for distribution makes me wonder how much of a life this person had.
