Day number 6: I'm locked out!

 Sorry this is a little late.

5:30am What in the world is that annoying beeping noise?
I propped myself up on my elbows and peeked out the window by my head. I looked out just in time to see a plow truck passing by. Yesterday everything was dry and full of color but now it was wet and covered in white snow. The snow was piled high already and snow was still drifting down from the black sky.
With a groan I fell back against my pillow and fell back to sleep for another hour.
6:45am  I woke up again and slipped off my bed. By 8:40 I was walking out the door.

My first class was Anthropology at 9:30 and since the campus would no doubt be covered in ice and therefore extremely treacherous, especially for me, I thought it would be best to leave early.

8:40 turned out to be too early.

I sat in the hall of the social & behavioral science building. I took out my book and began to read for an hour. At that moment I realized that I probably looked like a big geek at that moment, I was reading Lord of the Rings, wearing my Middle Earth map skirt, and every once in a while I would check my Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle Earth.
I'm sure everyone knows I'm in love with the brilliant stories of Tolkien.

After an exhilarating(exaggerating) lecture about nothing in particular. I left the safety of the building and went across the ice sidewalks and street, slowly, to the institute building. I walked into the classroom and took my seat in the back. A boy came and sat by me. He turned to me and smiled.
"Remind me of your name," he said.
"Markee," I replied.
"Oh yeah, you sat behind me last time," he said, "I'm Tyrel."
"Nice to meet you," I said politely.
"Nice to meet you," he said shaking my head.
Then class started with a song and a prayer.

"Amen," with the closing prayer said, everyone packed their bags and left the room. I stayed in the institute building, waiting for the Wednesday devotional.
When I went into the chapel for the devotional I sat in the back and before Elder Robbins began a girl came to sit by me. We started talking a little bit and found out she also went to Westlake High School.

I left after the devotional and went to the campus store, and as if I couldn't look more like a geek, they were playing LotR: Fellowship on the tv so  I sat there and watched it, but after that I went back home.
Once I got to my room I found a problem.
I had lost my keys!
I checked every pocket but found nothing.

Hopeless, I called the RA, so they could unlock the door so I could drop off my stuff off. Then I went all the way back to campus in search of the blasted keys to my dorm.

Not on the bus.
Nor in the institute building.
Ah there they are in the social & behavioral science building.

Not locked out anymore. Phew
