  Today started out pretty well, nothing out of the ordinary. It was very rainy but I didn’t think much of it. There is this club at my school where we take in and rehabilitate birds of prey. There is a center built on the school grounds and we go down there after school Thursdays to take care of the place. Well today when my friend Lindzey and I went down it was still raining pretty hard and with our bad luck we got stuck washing the birds’ food dishes. When you wash the food dishes you have to do it outside whith the hose and buckets. So we got soaking wet from the rain and the water hose getting “accidently” sprayed on us. We got done around 4:30 but I had to hang around until my brother was done with football practice b/c I had to take him. I was starting to get hungry so we decided that we would cruise on over to McDonalds and grab a burger. It was still raining so when I pulled into the parkinglot I turned off my lights and windshield wipers and Lindzey started to get out. “Lock the door please.” I said but she hadn’t heard me and went ahead and closed the door without locking it. So I leaned across the seat and locked the passenger door then I thought ‘Oh, better lock my door’ so I did. I wasn’t really thinking so I went ahead and got out and closed the door. I stuck my hand in my pocket to put my key in but then I realized I didn’t have my key in my hand. I cheked my other pocket it wasn’t there. I froze when I realized what I’d done. I franticly pulled on the door handle not knowing what else to do. Lindzey had a shocked look as she began to realize what was going on. “Did you just lock your keys in the car?” She asked. All I could manage to do was nod my head. I freaked, I just stood there. Here I was soaking wet, getting rained on, hungry, and locked out of my own car.

  Luckily I had my mom’s cell phone in my pocket and I pulled it out. “Should we call the police?” Lindzey asked. “I’ll call my mom, we have a spare key.” I managed to mumble. I called my mom but I was still really shuck up about it,I think I was in shock of the whole thing. My mom said that my dad had the spare key and he was still at work but she’d be there soon. I was still hungry so Lindsey went in and got us some burgers but I refused to go more that 3 feet from the car. When she came back out she managed to talk me into going inside to eat but I sat as close to the window as possible and never took my eyes off the car. Lindzey kept laughing at me b/c she thought it was funny. When my mom got there she tried to open the door with a coat hanger but that didn’t work so we had to call the police to come out and fix unlock it. More than minutes later the cops still weren’t there and my mom was getting tired of waiting and my little sister (who she’d brought along) was getting hungry. Then my dad called the cell phone b/c he’d got home and had no clue where we were. Mom explained the situation and he said he’d come and bring the key. Of course right after he called the cops finally showed up but we told them that my dad was coming and we’d be fine. It was starting to get late and I felt bad for poor Lindzey getting stuck there with me. Mom decided that we weren’t going to get home for a while so she ordered us all McDonalds’ for dinner. By the time my dad made it there it was about 6:30. I was so happyt to be able to get back in the car and I swore to always make sure I had my keys before I close the door. My dad to leave right away to go get my brother who’d been waiting at the school for quite some time. I dropped Lindzey off and got home at about 7. I ate quikly and then immediatly changed out of my soaking wet clothes, my pants were literally dripping water. I’ll probaly be sick now.

  Oh, did I forget to mention that I still had to read a chapter for AP US History, organize my Marine Biology binder, do a bunch of spanish worksheets, and write a report. I did a crappy job on all of it but I managed to get most of it done. The report took me a lmost 3 hours to write and then type. Now it’s like 11:30 and I’m writting this instead of sleeping like I should be. Today was a horrible day.

  But on the good side I got my report card and I got 3 a’s and one B ( a stinking 89) so that’s pretty good. And I made a stop at Sam Goody’s before the McDonalds incident so I have something for you to borrow Christina, but by the time you read this you’ll already have it so no surprise there. Hopoefully tommorrow will be better but I can’t hope for too much. Well My Readers, don’t lock your keys in your car!
