Day 6: "You have your key, right?"

We think that today's "adventure" made up for our lack of picture for yesterday. Where do we begin? The day started off with some hard core studying. It took a turn for the worse when we decided we had been productive enough to take a break and run some errands. Emma needed to go to the store to get a notebook, and I needed to deposit a check, soo off we went. I made sure I had the check, and Emma made sure she had the keys...to the car. We got in the car, and turned to each other and said "You have the key, right?" Well, neither of us did. Strike 1. Recently we had some break ins at the surrounding apartments, so we made sure to lock the door. It seems, we forgot the important part of having the key to get back IN. In a frenzy we called the landlord to see if he had a spare key for us to get back in. When he said he'd have to go take a look and call us back, we could only see the worse possible outcomes. Emma would have to go to her mock interviews the next day in her pj's and I would not be able to study anymore for our exam tomorrow. All of our belongings were safely stowed inside our cozy apartment while we were shut out in the cold, and unfriendly weather.
We decided to not get too down, and go ahead and do the chores we set out to accomplish. Unfortunately, Emma left her purse in the apartment, so she was driving with no license. Strike 2. On the way to the bank, Emma's eyeglass lens popped out leaving her blind in one eye. She was freaked out, and I was afraid for my life, not to mention the screw that holds the lens in was no where in sight. Strike 3. We eventually pulled over and switched seats, so I could drive. Remember, I have no wallet, soooo I'm driving HER car with no license. Strike 4 We got to the bank, and I filled out the envelope and sealed the check in, only to realize that I had forgotten my debit card, so I couldn't actually put the check in the teller machine. Strike 5. (At what point do you run out of strikes, and just give up?)
Again, determined to see the positive, we thought of going to CVS, but as you may have noticed, we have no wallets which means no money, sooo that's a no go as well. Strike 6. The landlord (Mr. Lord, ooh the irony) calls back and says he found the key (YAY!!), but we'd have to drive all the way to his house to pick it up. Obviously we weren't going to complain or tell on ourselves that we'd been driving illegally. We made it to Mr. Lord's house, and retrieved the key, but got stuck talking to him for about 15 minutes.Mission Accomplished, or so we thought.
After spending 2 hours running around on what should have been a 20-30 minute errand run, we came home to get our wallets/contacts/keys. Now, off to run the errands we actually wanted to run in the first place. We called Amy and asked her if she wanted to go to dinner....she wasn't home. (what strike are we on?)
Apparently she had headed to Chick-fil-a to get dinner...............What day is it? This made us feel a little better about ourselves.
Anywhoo, after that mess, we came home and attempted to be productive students again, which was a complete failure.

Ooh, I forgot to mention, We're under a Tornado Watch until 1am. Good thing we were safe at our apartment, and not driving around in the torrential rain/wind.
Good Grief!
