Today I realized how out of my element I am. In the last week, I have lost 2 things. I never lose things…at least not important things. I’m very organized, and I always know where the need-to-know items are. But lately, I have had so many more things on my mind than I ever had when I was in America. This is going to take some time learning how to rebalance my life. Hopefully I can figure it out without losing anything else.
So I can’t find my keys. I first discovered this at school today. I wasn’t too worried because someone is always home when I get home from school. But since I didn’t have my keys, of course no one was home when I got home to the locked house. I have thought I’ve been locked out before when I actually wasn’t, so I walked around the house and double-checked that all the doors were actually locked. They were.
I sat down for a bit, hoping my host mom or dad would show up right then. They didn’t. After 5 minutes of no one coming home, I walked around to the window closest to the ground, which is not actually at the ground level; the bottom of the window is about 6 feet off from the ground. I was feeling torn as to whether I wanted to find it open. If it was open, I would be glad that I got to go inside because I was really hungry. But also if it was open, it probably wouldn’t be too hard for someone else to find a way to get into the house. Well, it was open. So I went and found a ladder and climbed into the house.
As I was climbing into the house, there were 2 things I was thinking about. One, I thought about how I hope I don’t fall and break my neck while climbing into the house. And two, I hope the neighbors don’t call the police to report me, seeing as I really don’t having the best language skills right now. But I made in, without police or breaking my neck. Climbing through windows is not my thing. I need to find my keys.
