For those of you who attend 4 hour night classes at Nashville State on White Bridge Road, I have tested a hypothesis and intend to post the results here.
Hypothesis: It is possible, within the standard given time span of a 10 minute break, to leave the classroom, get to your car, get a sandwich from Subway (on White Bridge Rd.), eat a sandwich from Subway, and make it back to class.
Results: It is possible, given the following contingencies:
1) you do not forget your car keys in the classroom and remember them half-way to your car which is parked .35 of a mile from your classroom.
2) you are not stopped by campus security for going over a speed-bump too hastily.
3) you can turn left onto to a major city street without a light within 30 seconds.
4) you do not get behind a slow driver in the right hand lane of White Bridge Road.
5) you do not show up to an otherwise ‘dead’ restaurant, only to wait behind one indecisive customer ordering three toasted sandwiches, being made by one very bored and unmotivated employee whose greatest pleasure is catering to undecisive customers and ignoring those who are in a hurry (me).
6) you order a mini sandwich, and not a six-inch, untoasted with minimal toppings, because that is all you’re going to have time to eat.
Otherwise, it is completely do-able.
This has been a public service experiment for night students of NSCC.
