I started to think of the elevator survival scenes from the movies. You know,the ones where you have to somehow climb out to the top of the elevator where the ceiling was. I thought to myself, how could I achieve this task with a heavy Northface bag with a textbook in it. Then I started thinking, "I have limited amount of air supply." Then I finally thought, how am I going to explain this story to my professor when I'm late.She's probably going to think I'm just making excuses for being late after-all, I had no witnesses. Anyways, I ten minutes passed and the elevator door opened and I was sooo RELIEVED. Now I know how it feels when people are trapped in the elevator for hours. Your body and its epinephrine and nonepinephrine (adrenaline) are being released by the adrenal gland. You then respond in a "fight" or "flight" manner. I also learned that situations like being trapped in the elevator create phobias when can lead to mental issues or "episodes". Sometimes I think what if this elevator gets stuck,but thankfully I am not prettified at the thought of taking the elevator. Do you have any elevator stories?
