I feel so stupid.

I have a small balcony outside my room, which can be entered through a slider door. I went out there today to clean the door (which had gotten quite dusty) and inadvertently locked myself out by completely sliding and closing the door.

I spent my time wisely, I suppose. I did clean the window as I planned, and then stood for about 20 minutes, hitting the glass and making my knuckles ache.

Finally, my brother, in his nearby room, got sick of the annoying banging sound and came to see that I had gotten myself stuck outside in 90 degree weather.

And my brother, being the person he is, started laughing at my knocking, and went back into his room. He returned with his phone and took a picture of me as I was nearly shattering the glass with my knuckles.

Phew. But hey, I'm back now.
