Our classroom, 404 is on the 4th floor at the top of the stairs; 88 steps from the basement that I walk into (I did not count them, my teacher did). This steps are killer. I mean, my heart pounds and I'm hot when I'm done. At first, I thought it was because I am out of shape but my skinny teacher, the other teachers and all the students talk about how hard that climb is. Glad to know it just isn't me.
"There is an elevator" one of the other teachers informed me as I stopped to catch my breath at the top. "I figured if it's this hard to use them, then I need to," I answered.
My teacher said, "I figured the same thing".
After a week, they aren't any easier.
But I love the classroom. It's in the corner with lots of windows and light and a nice 4th floor view. I've spoken of the character before and this adds to it. Of course, the cracks in the ceiling might have character but the teacher is hoping they don't crumble soon.
I'll let you know if that climb gets easier after six more weeks....

Blah. Stairs can be depressing. When you get to the top you feel like a schlub.
