You'd think by now I'd have it down pat...
8/19/11
- 8:30 a.m. - leave for college.
- 11:45 a.m. - arrive at college.
- 4:30 p.m. - realize I've forgotten my pillow. Emily let me borrow hers when I spent the night at her place.
8/20/11
- 1:30 a.m. - fire alarm goes off.
- 6:45 a.m. - help the freshman move in while wearing a super sassy zebra printed bandana.
- 1:30 p.m. - go to take a shower and realize I've forgotten body wash and a wash cloth. I use hand soap. It worked.
- 2:30 p.m. - realize I've also forgotten my hand towel.
- 5:30 p.m. - Target run with Mae, Emily, and Sloan. I buy a pillow, socks, body wash, hand towel, and a wash cloth (~$40)
- 8ish p.m. - realize I've forgotten my over the door coat hanger.
- 8:30ish p.m. - realize I've forgotten cups, plates, and silverware.
8/21/11
- 9:00 a.m. - realize I forgot my mirror.
- 2:30 p.m. - realize I want to have a clock for my desk. I have the perfect one...at home.
- at some point that evening, made another Target run. Bought a cup and a mirror (~$20).
8/22/11
- 7:00 p.m. - realize I've forgotten my snuggie.
- 7:03 p.m. - text my mom a list of things I've forgotten. She informs me that I've also forgotten my retainer.
8/24/11
- 9:00 a.m. - staff meeting at the rec. Realize I've forgotten a beach towel.
- 1:30ish p.m. - walked from the rec to a pool. Missed the earthquake. Was super disappointed.
8/25/11
- 5:15 a.m. - wake up to go to work. Realize I've forgotten my work flip flops.
- 9:00 a.m. - first class of junior year. Learn about anatomy things.
- 10:00 a.m. - second class of junior year. Sit next to Kim and Elisa. Learn about statistical things.
- 11:00 a.m. - get lunch and check for package of things I forgot. No package.
- 1:00 p.m. - call mom. She says she just mailed the package about an hour ago. No wonder I didn't get it earlier.
- 2:00 p.m. - third class of junior year. Finally get my supply list. Realize I have many of those supplies. At home.
8/26/11
- 9:30 a.m. - fourth class of junior year. Learn about spiders and other gross things.
- 3:54 p.m. - receive text that The College is being evacuated. Try to call my mom. So many other people decided it would be a good idea to use their phones, too, that I couldn't get through. I finally did. Made plans to go home the next morning.
I had my mom send me a package of things I forgot; I made numerous trips to the store to purchase other things that I forgot. And then I was sent home. Where I could have brought back the things I forgot...at no additional charge...
This is why I'm glad my head is securely attached to my body. Otherwise, I'd probably forget it, too.
