My old cafeteria was overly cold
I had a pretty fun junior high or as some call it, a middle school experience.
I went to a large school that had just under a few thousand students attending in grades 6th through 12th. The junior high and middle school buildings were next to each other, but the cafeteria was shared by all. It was a nice facility, and we entirely had the most fantastic food served to us most times. I was lucky that I grew up after the age of mystery meat and pizza afternoons during which they served small, square, “pizzas” that were more fitting for army MREs than a school. My dad attended the same school before I did, and he’s the one that claims that the brunch menu used to be awful, but both myself and others and my dad agree that the air conditioning in the cafeteria had constantly been over the top. It is just plain cold in that cafeteria all the time! If you were unfortunate enough to only be able to get seats that was directly below the air vents, you had to eat your brunch absolutely quickly if it was sweltering. If you carried on a conversation for too long without eating, the air conditioning could make something that was piping-hot a few moments before lukewarm, or even cold. During both my freshman and sophomore years though, there was one major upside to that cold air conditioning. Lunch was right after PE during those 2 years! We could hardly wait to walk into the cafeteria and let the cool air disinfect over us after perspiring a lot outside in the warm weeks! Unfortunately, during the Winter, the cafeteria was almost just as chilly, as if they didn’t use the heating equipment at all! Good thing we did PE at the gym on most afternoons that it was absolutely cold!
