The 4am Scare

So the other night I woke up suddanly to two very loud bangs in my apartment. I immediatly sat up, thinking someone had probably broken into my home. I tried to listen for several minutes, to see if I could hear anyone walking arround, but didnt. I was too scared to look into the living room to see if anyone was in there, so I sat up in my bed terrified! So I grabbed my pepper spray, and proceeded to listen for any footsteps wearing nothing but a nigh gown. After what seemed to be 10 minutes, I got so scared that I called the police, and told them my dilemma. When the police officer arrived, he knocked loudly on my front door, so I quickly swung open my bedroom door that led to the living room, and did a quick survey to see if anyone was in there. they wernt. So I unlocked my door, and let the nice police man inside to sit down. I explained to him what happened, and that I hadn't checked the apartment yet since I was too scared. Before I could finish, the nice police man calmly explained that he checked the area, and didnt see anything suspicious, but reminded me that is WAS thundering outside....

Holy God...

Sooo I'm trying to be a polite human being as I'm walking to english class as I hold open the door for this insanely obese man. I hold the door open as wide as I can but he's having a very difficult time getting through the door frame as the doors to the O.A. Grant building are pretty small. So there I was..a 5 foot 120 pound girl holding the door for a 6 foot 500 pound man. I was standing there after 10 seconds with a fear building up in my chest because if it came down to it..I could NOT push this guy. My tiny pushing force would do absolutly nothing for him. Finally he decides the best way to get through the door is to back himself up a bit, and ram himself through the tiny hole to the english building. As he walks away to his english class, he looked back at me and says quietly "thanks". best moment of my life.

so my dorm building is all girls. The building right next to ours is all boys. The office where you go to complain, get lost keys, or do anything relating to your dorm is done in the boys lobby. this of course became my worst nightmare. I was getting up early one morning as I usually do, and going to through my normal routine. I get up, put my shower shoes on, throw on a robe, stick my keys in my robe pocket, grab shower essentials, and head off to our COMMUNITY SHOWER. now keep in mind that "community shower" means that I leave my bedroom, walk down the hall, and shower like you would in a locker room. So everything was going fine, the hot shower made me feel much more awake and I was actually in a good mood despite how tired my body was. I got to my door and suddanly got a flash back from the previous night when I took my bedroom key off my key chain so i could stick it in my pocket, and not take a purse out. I looked at my key chain, and sure enough...i was locked out...naked. So with nothing but a tiny robe on, I had to #1. go out side in the freezing cold, down three flights of stairs to get to the boys building. #2. realize that i didnt have my key card to swipe to get into the boys dorm. #3. have to wait outside untill a boy walked through the front door so i could squeeze in. #4. deal with the strange looks i was getting for being wet, naked, and carrying a bucket filled with shower things. and #5. after retrieving my spare key, realize that i was also locked out of my dorm now because of the lack of key card. Then almost have to tackle this one girl who was coming out to let me in! she understood. Once I got back into my room..this is the point where i realized that i had just LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY ROOM NAKED AND DRIPPING WET. I started to laugh at myself and felt extreme embarrissment at the same time. When i went back to the boys dorm to return my spare key, i had the delight of a crowd of boys waiting in the hallway for me, just so they could applaud as i returned my key fully dressed. *sigh* ...do these things ever happen to anyone else?
