I was sitting on a ledge looking out over the college library courtyard -- where there were "lots" of people. I was going to stand up and walk back across the ledge to the stairs, but I realized it probably wasn't a good idea. My legs were shaking, somehow the muscles were fatigued... I decided not to try and stand up and end up falling forward off the ledge, so I jumped off -- feet-first. (It was only about 6 ft. off the ground.)
Well, I hit the ground and my knees buckled. And I half-crumpled, half-shot backwards and landed on my backside. I just sat there -- stunned -- for a moment, and then, I realized that everyone was laughing at me, including the Soldier I had landed in front of.
