Dumb ID!

So yesterday (yes technically yesterday since its 2am now) I managed to act like a complete moron. I have a half hour between my arabic class and my next class so I usually go get food and then go to class. So I go over, get my food, swipe my card and then walked over to a table so I could pack up my crap and take it back to the dorm. I was talking with another friend of mine as I did so and we walked out. I took a couple steps outside, reached in my back pocket where I typically keep my ID and realized it wasn't there. So I swore and told him I'd be right back, I must have left my ID on the table. I go back in and look on the table but it wasn't there. I recalled the girl had handed it back to me after she swiped it but I couldn't find it anywhere. It wasn't on the floor or under any trays or napkins. I was standing there thinking, oh shit what do I do now?

So I went back to my dorm. This is particularly irritating about not having your ID because not only can you not use your meal plan but you can't get into your fucking dorm unless you follow someone else that has theirs and can open the door. So I was on the phone, waited for a couple minutes before another girl came along and followed her in the building. So since my ID was gone, anyone could use my meal plan or get into the dorm or make charges, whatever the heck they wanted. So I did the most logical thing I could think of. I right away called the BuckID office and froze the card. It becomes completely useless, can't use any money or meal swipes on it and you can't get into the building. So I said a prayer that someone would find it so I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of getting another one. I came back from my last class at about 6:30 and felt exhausted so I told my roomie I was gonna take a quick nap. Of course I couldn't fall asleep so I was really just laying there when my phone started ringing. I picked it up and this guy asked if I was Leah Bennett. I told him yeah and he said he thought he found my ID. I was so relieved. He then said he could bring it over in like 5 minutes, he'd come to my dorm. So my rommate and neighbor wanted to go to CVS so I said we should all go since I was going down anyways. I went downstairs, started to walk out the door and I pass this guy who is just standing there looking somewhat lost. I thought that might be my guy but I couldn't tell. As I passed by him I saw him hold up my ID and look at my picture so I right away whirled around and said hey, thats me! He laughed and said he thought it was me but wasn't quite sure. My hair is a lot longer now than it was in that picture. So I said thanks and how relieved I was. He said that his roommate must have found it cuz he walked into his room and he saw it sitting on his roommate's desk. So he must have looked me up via facebook to get my cell number. Thank God for facebook! It's great for wasting time and the occasional good deed. So now the only problem is that I have to get it reactivated.

I called the BuckID office again and said I had found the card and asked how I could reactivate it. They told me that I have go to their office (across campus) and bring it and another photo idea with me. I said that I don't have another photo ID, that IS my photo ID. So she gives the genius response of "oh just bring your liscence or anything else like that with a picture". I once again told her I don't have another ID, I can't drive. She just said "oh" and told me to check the website and there might be something else I could use but she wasn't exactly sure. So later on I called the office again and luckily got a different person. I asked him the same question to which I got the same response. I said that I had my social security card and could I use that instead. He said no, I need the picture. "What if I don't have another picture ID?" I asked. He couldn't tell me anything besides, well you need a picture. So I'm going to go over there tomorrow with my social card and hopefully be able to get away with it if I tell them I can't drive. I figure if that doesn't work then I'll go into bitchy mood and lie saying that I had contacted the office and I was told I could use this instead and did I need to talk to a supervisor?! Usually when you start acting real indignant and forceful and especially when you threaten to get their manager involved in something this petty, you can get what you want. It could be slightly risky but it just might work. Otherwise I can't use it until this weekend when I go home and can bring back my freaking passport. I will be seriously pissed off if I have to do that and I will make sure they know that. So hopefully I can work this out when I go in there in the morning (well later this morning, w/e!).

Oh last random note: Britney Spears is finally divorcing that dumbass husband, Kevin Federline!! I saw that today and was like, about time! I feel bad that she actually married him and gave him 2 kids, both with his last name. But better late than never I guess!
