disappearance of the gimp

i'm definately slacking on the whole posting thing this week. well, this week is off to a pretty good start...although yesterday was a bit stressful.

i hate to admit it, but my mother in me definately came out yesterday. anna has broken her foot and has to deal with all the troubles of getting around a huge campus as a gimp. we met at 0house for breakfast yesterday, since it is closer to her dorm than our usual snelling run. anyway, she called the handicap van to pick her up. they arrived, but left before she got out the door. so i ran around inside trying to find the phone number for the service to tell them to get their butts back over and pick the poor girl up. after it got straightened out, i headed to geology...and that was the last i saw of anna until late that night.

mondays are dgroup with the girls. colette, anna, and i usually meet up for dinner around 6ish and then call and beg for rides. well, somehow we (notice how i take ownership in this...haha) managed to get a car again this week and don't have to beg for a ride. her parents are letting her have enrique, a crv, for the next two weeks. we're hoping colette doesn't fall to the same fate as me.

so, 5:30ish, anna gives me a call, but when i pick up, she doesn't answer. call her right back, no answer. so i leave a message. anyway, so it came time for dinner and colette calls up saying i'll have to drive, since a test decided to randomly pop up on the schedule for wednesday in her religion class and she wouldn't be able to make it. call up anna, still no answer. now, if she can't go, she usually calls up and lets me know if she has too much homework or whatever. but her cell phone was going straight to voicemail and when i called her dorm, she didn't pick up either. around 6:30 i really start getting worried because neither colette or i know where she is. colette was the last to talk to her, just before she had given the strange call to me, but she was planning on going. every person i call to ask, i get their voicemail. fifteen minutes later, i have convinced myself that anna is knocked unconscious in her room after falling and lying there bleeding to death. i have my mom to thank for that insight...picturing the worst.

at 7, i'm getting pretty frantic and decide to call her mom to see if she knew if anna had to go to the health center or something. she had no idea. i was just about to try to sneak into her dorm to check on her but called anna's dorm first. her roommate picked up. no anna, crutches, or keys...although the dorm was left unlocked when she had returned. maybe she was in a hurry? so obviously, things aren't going well for me emotionally. one last time, i call colette up, who suddenly remembers that anna might have a chorus rehusal that night. well crap. that explains everything...way to get me all worked up. her boyfriend later calls me back and confirms this.

so there you have it...i got worried sick over my best friend's disappearance. man, she needs to tell me when and where shes going places. haha.
