Randomness and Homesick

Random memories (most likely cuz I'm away from home, and want to be with friends...):

• So, I sat down to write out some lessons for next week...didn't really do it since I'm exhausted. But "Follow Me" by Uncle Kraker came on, and memories came flooding back to me. It came out my freshman year. I was obsessed with this song. I can remember cranking it up while driving with Allan and Bliss in the Explorer, rolling the windows down on campus and belting it out. Good times. I also remember Niki almost killing me for being so obsessed with this song. There was one time we were in the cafe, and I made people shut up so I could hear it. Almost died.
  



• Me leaving my door unlocked all the time...until Dan showed me the way of locking the door (I now come into my apt and immediately turn around and lock it behind me, no matter how full my arms are). I didn't start leaving my door unlocked until I became an RA. Niki and I kept our door locked at all times freshman year. There's one time that I can see clearly every time I think about how I left my door unlocked. It was my 20th birthday. Mom and dad had come up for lunch, and took Niki and I out. Niki and I came back to my room, listened to some music, and cleaned up since Allan, Ben and Jayna were coming up for the big event. Niki had to leave to take a shower or something, and I decided to go and take one myself. As I was coming out of the bathroom, I noticed someone entering my room. I didn't have my glasses on, and my hair looked like I had just put my finger in an electrical socket. I squinted at the figure...yep, it was Adam. He had gotten done with his shift at Phil's and decided to come over to my room before going back to his. "Um, you just walked into my room" "Yeah, you didn't answer, and I knew it was unlocked. So, I was going to go in and make myself comfy." Nice...Needless to say I grabbed my clothes and got dressed in the bathroom. There are other times I can remember walking into my room with people either in it, or people telling me they were in it while I was gone. Sophomore year I walked into my room after a long day with the first graders I was working with (little angels compared to my current class), and there was Anne, working on a paper on my computer. Yeah, I had told her that she could work in there, but I was caught off guard. Then my senior year (when I was religiously locking my door), I walked out of my room to walk across the hall to the bathroom. I came out within 5 minutes, and there were Anne and Dan laying on my futon and bed. What the hell? Then there was one night I came home from Comedy City, and a resident came up to me telling me she really wanted a Mountain Dew but didn't want to go all the way to the lounge for one, so she left 50 cents for me on my dresser. Great, going in and taking my last Dew. Ok, this one isn't someone walking into my room bc my room was unlocked, but, I can still remember when Harr came to my room with her "special" Coke late one night. Adam and I were hanging out, watching infomercials and coloring (this is where the famous Elmo pic comes from) when Harr came up to my room to play my guitar (after quiet hours) and chill. We all had a fun time. I think she came up to vent about either Brian or Zak, and ended up playing "Leaving on a Jet Plane", which is why I think of her when I hear the song now. It was great that she was drinking in my room...but, she was never trained to be a Hall Director :)

Alright, enough of my ruminations...I'm just homesick and want to see people from home...badly. I'm going insane, I need some friendly faces from home. The end of April can't come soon enough...
