When I got back to my room I had to pack everything up, print my boarding pass, get prepared for my test all in a matter of one hour! As I attempted to get everything done it was a mad dash! I was running around trying not to forget anything... ID, yes! purse, yes! computer, yes! I figured if I had all of these things I would be set to go.
As my hour came to it's end I grabbed my book bag and ran to go take my test. As I was about to take my test I took a deep breathe and tried to focus for that 50 minutes. I finished my test! It was a great success and so I proceeded to briskly walk back to my room to grab my luggage and catch my Super Shuttle to take me to the airport. I was so excited walking back into the dorm, I ran up to my door and to my dismay I realized I had locked my key in my room! Out of all the times to leave my room key today would be the day, I was so shocked and irritated!
I started to frantically run up to every RA's door trying to get someone to open my door! As I was running around of course I received a bunch of calls asking me, "Hey are you outside and ready?" This stressed me out so much!
Then thankfully I remembered that I could go to Virginia Snider! This was the best thought I had all day!
Right when I thought of this I dropped my book bag by my door, darted down the stairs, out the door, across the boulevard and into the glorious doors of Virginia Snider. I had never been happier to see those doors. Once I was there I signed the necessary papers and darted out of there as fast as possible. When I got back I grabbed my luggage, dropped it by the curb and run back to return the key.
The catastrophe was finally over, and I was able to sit on the bench outside of Boaz and just enjoy the thoughts of being home.

I feel like EVERY holiday begins like this: rush rush rush, then collaspe in exhaustion. But then the bliss takes over and you finally feel the beginning of something. It's takes me a few days to adjust to the holidays--it's like my brain can't believe it doesn't have a to-do list that is, of course, over due!
Sounds like a stressful scenario! I too, like you, had a hectic day in preparation of going home. I remember going through the mental checklist just like the one you went through ( "ID, yes! purse, yes! computer, yes!") well, maybe not the purse. However, I also remember sitting in a Super Shuttle waiting for 25 minutes for "someone" to get themselves unlocked of their room so that we could drive to the airport. While a certain "someone" was stressing about unlocking her door, I was stressing about making it to the airport on time and catching my flight! Luckily for that "someone", I had some snacks to keep me occupied and to take my mind off the stressful situation. ;)
