with my college friend. I must be on that train. Desperate times desperate measures. So I squatted(蹲下). I assumed that this was the international for “Are there any hard seats available?”

About midnight my became heavy and I was ready for the lights to dim and my date
Ms ZZZZ to start. But the room bright and hot. I tried to persevere and was even able to work into a sleeping position.

After waiting in a thick cloud of cigarette smoke, I finally used the bathroom. The philosophy(原则) of my sleeping was right: if you get a seat on a train, don’t move.
