Miscommunication

Today marks the first day I have ever been locked out of my dorm room. Good thing I had twenty minutes to spare before class started. Here is the breakdown of events:

I ran into the room from baking downstairs and threw down everything so I could run to restroom before an accident occurred. I left the door propped, knowing it was locked, and knowing I didn't have my keys. When I got back to the room from the bathroom, the door was shut and locked.

I just waited, knowing Eryn had last been out of the door, so she could let me in with her keys. Unfortunately, she failed to bring her keys with her thinking the door was unlocked. So we are locked outside of our room twenty minutes before sociology starts, the only class that gives participation points for being to class on time.

After trying all the RA's rooms on the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd floors, I gave up and went to the front desk, hoping they could help me out. The guy called several RAs and finally found one that was in his room. He walked Eryn and me upstairs, and unlocked our room.

Luckily, he was very nice about it all. He also did not charge us the $5 fee to get back in, because he said this was an honest mistake, as long as it didn't happen again. Sometimes, even when you are down and out, you can still get lucky. In addition, we made it to class ON TIME, not early, not late.

I am making sure I unlock the door every time I leave for the restroom, because I will not be as lucky next time.
