I've only had 2 weeks of school, but when I left school on Friday I was so far behind with paperwork and such. This was because I had to go out of town after the first week of school in order to see my sister get married. And this weekend, I had my cousin and aunt here looking at college. This meant that I had to leave school early both Thursday and Friday and not finish the work I needed to. Well, I'm not the type of person who can just let things pile up and never get to them. Things have to be done correctly and organized so I know where everything is. This may not sound like a form of OCD, but with all of my other symptoms, I've diagnosed myself based on the information I found on webMD.
Anyway, I feel this is all necessary background information for the story. I had tons of work and the only way to get it done was to go to school on the weekend. One (and maybe the only) perk of being in a portable is that you don't have to go into the scary dark school on the weekend when nobody else is at school. Well, this was a perk until I needed to laminated and make copies in the school. I had never been in the school after hours before and wasn't sure of the procedure. I was under the impression that if the door let me in, then the alarm was off and it was okay. I was WRONG! The door will still let you in and the moment you walk by the alarm system, it activates. I had no idea what to do...it was counting down and I didn't know the code. Well, needless to say, the alarm went off! I stood there for a second in shock, then ran to get my portable mate...hopefully she knew what to do. I was wrong! We had to call for backup and also the alarm company to let them know I was a fool and set off the alarm. It was quite nerve racking! About 5 minutes later, we deactivated the alarm and could still hear our ears ringing. I was then able to go about my business and make copies and laminate.
Lesson Learned: Do not go work at school on the weekends!!!!

That was hilarious. No, you can still go to the school just don't set foot inside the building.
