Much too early adventures

Last night was absolutely horrible. It was so hot out I spent most of the night drenched in sweat and having dreams about drowning. I thought it was supposed to be almost fall. What the hell is this?

Today I was lending my bike to OM because a) someone should use it, and b) she had to go far and bring back a lot of groceries. So I leave my door open ‘cause I’m only going to be gone for a second and really what would they steal. My laptops on its last legs and it’s not like I’m into high end fashion, although I have a couple library books that I want to finish...maybe next time I’ll lock the door. So my door’s wide open, but so is my window. Then the wind came. It was really more of a breeze, but the pressure change caused my door to slam, locking me out. See this sucks, but it isn’t that big of an issue. I just knock on the door and get my roommate to open. Wait, she’s gone for a week. Ok, so I go to the office and get them to use the master key. That’s weird, why won’t the door to the office open? Oh right. It’s Saturday and the office is closed on weekends. That’s ok they have a number I can call if I need something. But my phone’s in my house. Ok so I wait for someone to walk past and ask to use their phone. Ha! Fat chance finding someone awake at 10 on a Saturday morning at the beginning of Easter week break in a university residence. Hmm think think. Go to the store and ask if you can use their phone. They say ‘sure, but why don’t you just go and ask security’. So I do and they tell me to go to the maintenance guy’s house on the other side of the complex. I make the trudge all the way there just to find out that he isn’t home and trudge back. Then security calls the campus security people for me and they come to cut my lock off. So now I have to leave my room unlocked and go buy a new one and when my roommate comes home from her trip she’s going to be locked out.

As my American roommates say FML
