I had to sit at a table I wouldn't normally sit at because my 3 top choices were taken. Later as my favorite spot opened up I rushed right over and claimed it! Plugged in my laptop, spread out my things, set my bag in the second chair-that spot was MINE! Interestingly enough I find I've been able to study better because of it :)
But then this thought was really driven home when I went to the restroom. I walked down the hall and discovered the whole entire restroom was empty! So I got to choose whatever stall struck my fancy. I walked down the row and found my favorite stall-and that's when I stopped.
I have a favorite bathroom stall? Oh yes, I do! It changes from restroom to restroom, usually depends on lighting (who wants to get into a small, DARK stall? That's uncomfortable. Scary. Weird.). The more I thought about (because what else would I do when washing my hands?) the more I realized I do this all the time. I sit in the same chair in 3 of my 5 classes, but in the same area of the remaining 2 classes. If you want to find me at Resonate, you'll be able to track me down on the right hand side a couple rows from the front. If I get in my car, I'd better be in the driver's seat. When I park at church, school, or Target, or Starbucks I'll be drawn to the same area usually. I have a little more flexibility at Barnes & Noble, but there are some places I want to sit, and others I definitely don't want to inhabit...
What about you guys? Any creatures of habit out there besides me?
