Locked IN my room!

It has been difficult lately to get to the Internet so I have post dated the last three entries to when I actually wrote them. Things are coming along. Today I moved from the home I was staying in to a flat at the University. Within the first 20 minutes I not only locked myself IN the room, I broke the key. Oh yes, this is a true story.
I thought it would be good to try locking the door but I forgot to keep the door open as I did this. So I locked myself in and when I tried to get out I couldn't turn the key over. I tried so hard in fact that the key broke off and was in the door lock. I had a 5sec hyperventilation session and then I figured out how to get the key out...excellent but I was still a prisoner in my own room...by my own hand!
Fortunately I figured out how to open the window slats and was able to call out to a staff member for help. "Help I've locked myself IN MY ROOM" Now if that doesn't make me a "crazy Mzungu" I don't know what does.
It was a great way to start the day...really.
But the room is really nice and there is a complimentary breakfast in the mornings PLUS there will be no blasting prayers or kookoos waking me up or Mama walking in my room at 6:30am to tell me she is leaving for school...
Thank GOD!
I love and miss you all...eventually I'll figure out how to get pictures up!
