Moving In

Well I'm pretty much moved in to my apartment. Now I just have to get organized a little more and start doing homework for my summer class so I can finish before summer is over... not likely, but I should be able to finish pretty soon, I think.

Apearently, it's not a good idea to wake me from sleeping by touching me or shaking me. Jake, my roomate has tried this twice. The first time was last year, I stayed late in his room one weekend night and I forgot my shoes in his room. Then he thought he'd be nice and return them. So he comes down to my room, and he could of just dropped them off because for some reason I left the door unlocked that night, but he decided to wake me up to tell me he brought 'em back. And in a split second I was facing him, sitting half way up, with my hands curled and in a position like a panther or a cheetah or something. And then the next second I realized that I was being woken up.

This time, it was last night. Jake just moved in today, so he, Melissa his girlfriend, Kelvin and I were sitting in the living room of our apartment, and I kinda drifted off to sleep (probably because the TV wasn't on) and I don't know exactly why, but Jake decided to wake me up and didn't want me "crashing" on the couch. So, I don't know what he did, but I think he kind of shook me a little or put his hand on my shoulder a little rough to wake me up. Before I realize what's happening, my reflexes have the better of me and I have sprung from a slouched position in the corner of the couch to a crouching position on almost the other end of the couch were he was sitting and I've got my arm around the front of his neck like I've just locked up with someone in a wrestling match and I'm pressuring him into the back of the couch and I think it took a couple seconds this time to figure out what I was doing and for me to let go. That's just kind a scary. I'd hate to be a burglar or something like that who woke me up during the night by shaking me, because if he/she was even a little off gaurd, I'd have him/her in a position of disadvantage before I even realized what was happening, and then when I realized I'd probably be so freaked out that I would freak out on him/her, and it'd just be a big mess, and worse, for me, if he had a gun or a knife at the ready. Ouch!

You have to say him/her and he/she because you can't be sexist against criminals, they have feelings too!
