Forgetfulness

What an interesting couple of days.

I got to Roberts around five o'clock last night with the car absolutely chock full of stuff. I pulled out my key to unlock our apartment, and the key wouldn't work. I found Security's number and hit send.
Ten minutes later, the door was opened for me. There wasn't a piece of furniture in sight, save a lonely chair. I opened the bedroom door, assuming they must have crammed it all into one room. Nothing. I called one of my friends and he brought down a mattress for me to crash on for the weekend. My key still doesn't work, and neither does my roommate's.

I began unloading. I'm pretty sure this is the first year Steve and Ryan haven't helped me unpack my car, including freshman year. It took me about 17, 385 trips to get everything from point A to point B. I unpacked as much as I could, but pretty much everything is sitting in the living room.
Still.

But among the things that are not currently in the living room is my laptop charger. Why, you ask? Because I left it at home. Actually, I left it in a little storage compartment in the back seat of the family van. I still can't think of a single good reason that I put it there.
The biggest downside to not having a functional computer, though, is not having any music. Normally without a computer, I would just plug my iPod into my speakers or (if absolutely necessary) use the radio in my alarm clock. But guess who didn't bring her speakers or her alarm clock! If you guessed me, you're right. (Go ahead and pat yourself on the back.)

It's interesting, though. As much as I can whine and complain about everything I didn't bring to college, I have no reason not to be thankful.

1. I can (kind of) afford to go to college in the first place.
2. I have such incredible friends here!
3. I was able to borrow a mattress.
4. Lack of music = deeper thought.
5. I still have so freaking much stuff with me.
6. My momma is awesome enough to mail me my charger.
7. My sister comes to Roberts on Friday!
8. I have my phone charger.
9. I have an incredible church to go to tomorrow morning!
10. Forgetfulness doesn't exist in Heaven, and eventually I'll live there.
