last night i heard a huge thump that woke me from my slumber with a start. k jumped out of bed and came to look out the window. there were people screaming in the street. i don't know why. this morning when i was leaving for class i opened the door and i heard something fall to the ground. i looked around and saw that the door frame was completely splintered around the lock. turns out someone was trying to break in to my house. super! the landlord came to epoxy the frame back together this afternoon but now i'm home alone and it's scary. karen is out playing with our friends and she said she'll bring someone to come check on me every hour on the hour so i'm not scared. we even made up a secret knock. how comforting.
