So, I was super excited to go grocery shopping for the first time for the apartment. On Tuesday, I got into baby Ferg and headed over to Target. My mom and I set up a grocery budget and I was feeling confident in all of my purchases. I loaded up my car and was ready to get back to campus and start dinner for taco night, which is one of my favorite things ever! I unloaded my car and started for the stairs when it hit me... I completely forgot my room keys...I was locked out of my building with all of my groceries! Mind you, I had bought frozen meats and quite a bit of cold things on a 90 degree day. I was so angry with myself!
Thankfully we have 24 hour loan key desks on campus, so I knew Martin Hall was the designated loan key desk for my apartment. Buddy, was I wrong. I walked all throughout that dang building getting the weirdest looks when I kept asking, "Where's the loan key desk?" NO ONE KNEW! I texted my boss and it turned out that the loan key desk in Martin didn't even open until the next day! Like forreal. Almost 20 minutes had went by from the time I left the grocery store and I started to get really agitated when I wasn't even in the right place to begin with and my groceries were suffering the consequences. I got back into my car and drove the way to Belk Hall, the right loan key desk. Finally! I got my loan key and got all the groceries to the fridge. What. An. Evening.
The next day I decided to do my laundry. In my building, we just go downstairs to do our laundry. I have an app on my phone that lets me know when my washing machine and dryer are done. I put my clothes in the washer and all was well on the washing machine front, then it was time for the dryer. Laundry costs are built into tuition and I get $10 a week-that gets me about 5 or 6 loads of laundry, which is more than enough. I switched my clothes from the washer to the dryer and I swiped my ID card to activate the dryer. I hit the wrong button and accidently added 60 minutes to someone else's laundry...oops. What made me the most mad was that I wasted a load of laundry! I had to swipe my ID card again to buy myself another load. I was a little salty from that for the rest of the day.
Anyway, it has been an eventful week. The little things like that make it memorable and I find myself laughing about it already. I want to continue this mini series whenever something funny happens that is totally and completely preventable...but of course I do it anyway. I hope you found it added a little humor to you day!
