Barefooting Day 6

These events are from Tuesday September 14, 2009:

So… Did anyone know colleges have fire drills? I for one did not know this.

Really the day was the same thing I’ve been going through for about a week now- No shoes, no comments, no problem. There was however a fire drill which I found quite unpleasant. A crowd of students leave their rooms, we walk down a set of stairs, and out the door…

We ended up walking across the student parking lot. The small pebbles were no match for my feet, the heat was however quite uncomfortable. The only time I’ve needed to walk across hot cement thus far is from my car into the building, and there’s plenty of shade, grass, and dirt to step on instead (and feeling much more pleasant on my naked feet, that’s what I usually choose to step on). For this drill I had to stand full on for a good 5 minutes.

Going back inside and walking across the cool tile was wonderful. Thankfully it’s getting to be fall and I hopefully won’t have to worry about training my feet up for the hot weather until next year.
