elevator going up...

earlier today krista and i got on the elevator on the ground floor of the law school, headed up to the 4th floor to the library. on the first floor, one of our professors from our good old first year days got on. k and i had seen her earlier in the day, too. we all said hello. she used her magic faculty key to activate the magic elevator so that it would open up on the 3d floor, where her office is. (the elevator only lets us peon law students off on the fourth floor, the main library entrance). then i turned to krista to tell her about how this classmate of ours last week had gotten on the elevator on the ground floor and only took it to the first floor and how i and whoever else i was with (michael, maybe?) made fun of him for it.

then the elevator door opens on the 2nd floor, i.e., one floor up, and our professor gets off. and as the door closed, i said to krista and the other kid who was in the elevator with us, "wait, didn't she...?" to which the other kid said, "yep". and laughter ensues.

now, at this point krista said, "emily! you're terrible!" and i said, "what? she didn't hear me!" and krista said, "she was standing right there!"

and so we continued to talk about this for a few minutes, and finally we realized that we were laughing about two totally different thoughts...

i was laughing because i was confused that our professor had gotten off on the 2d floor when she had used the magic key to go to the 3d floor -- i thought maybe she had mistakenly got off too soon and just went with it rather than turn around and get back on the elevator.

krista was laughing because i had just essentially bitched about people who only take elevators up one floor and our professor, well, only took the elevator up one floor.

i maintain that the other kid on the elevator was totally on my wavelength here. krista thinks he was on hers.

either way, it was kinda funny.

but only kinda.
