For some reason, my suite-mates have to go home every weekend, which leaves me here alone. So, you know, I figure I should keep the door locked because if don't and something gets stolen...then I'm responsible. Earlier tonight, I was sittin around and I decided I kinda smelled because I slept late this morning and I took a crappy shower. So there I was, showering away.....and I thought: "holy CRAP!!!! I don't think I UNlocked the door before I left." Now, an important thing to add is that when I take a shower, I just wear a towel....and thats it. So I finished my shower and went back to my room, hoping maybe the door didn't shut all the way. Alas, luck wasn't on my side. I stood there for a few moments, dripping all over the place while I tried to figure out the best way to get into my room. I had a couple of options:
1. The easiest and best way would be to knock on the RA's door and he could go get a key for me. The only problem with that is it is a friday night at about 7. NOBODY was in the dorm.
2. Knock on a few doors and ask if I could use their phone to call security, who would then come and open my door for me. The problem with that is they usually take about 15 minutes to get there. That means 15 minutes of me standing in the hall practically naked.
3. Go downstairs, go outside, get into the next dorm over, and talk to the RA on duty. The obvious problem with that is I'm walking around campus wearing a towel and my shower flip-flops.
I wasn't so happy with my choices, but I was going to go with the security phone call. But just as I was knocking on my first door, my RA comes up the stairs....and I was like "DUUUUDE!!!!" and he just started laughing at me. Needless to say, I got in my room and he got a good laugh. Talk about embarressing!
