Locked Out!

Monday night I was hanging up Christmas lights around my apartment while jamming to some sweet Christmas tunes. I decided "Oh my lanta, I'm going to hang some outside my door!!!" As I was standing on a stool hanging the lights around part of the door frame tragedy struck, DUHN DUHN DUUUUUHHHHNNNN!! My door slammed shut. Now normally this wouldn't be an issue because some friends here have a spare key, but I did not have my cell phone. Then I though I could just go to their house and get it, realizing I was wearing house slippers and my and one layer of clothing this would not be a good idea. The temperature outside was way too cold for what I was wearing. I then began to panic and then process my options. I knocked on my neighbors door but there was no answer. I walked down the stairs to the family who lives below. "Yaaaay they answered," I thought. So I began to try and explain what happened and when I started to hear crickets I began to act out what happened. In my head I was praying that they would understand me and be able to help. Their son then came to the door who is a senior in high school and spoke a little english. So they made some phone calls and invited me in to wait. During my wait I played some video games with their son, which turned out to be  fun. They laughed at me and the situation I was in but I didn't care, it was pretty funny and I was just very thankful that they were able to help. The locksmith arrived and was able to get my door opened!!!!! Now anytime I step outside my door I take my key. They will be getting a loaf of banana bread this week :)
