Surprisingly, the topic is exactly what the update is about. You see, I was indeed a bit of a hero today because I saved Andrea from being stuck in the elevator. Let me e'splain.

Well first let me explain Andrea. She's a great and nice girl, but she has some mental instabilities that make her very emotional and easily susceptable to stressful situations. She takes alot of crap sometimes and she just can't handle it sometimes. Well today after her percussion methods exam and before mine, she took the elevator from the first floor to the third floor. However, the elevator got stuck on the third floor and the doors wouldn't open and Andrea was trapped inside.

Well I was worried about Andrea because I know how she gets, so I rushed up to the third floor to see what was going on. A group of people were standing outside the door and talking to her to make sure she was OK. I immediately walked up and tried to pry it open, but the door was way to heavy. Thomas tried to help me for about 30 seconds before saying that it wasn't going to open and he gave up. I kept pulling and trying to get it open for another 5 minutes or so before I became exhausted.

Since using my hands wouldn't work, I used what I had near me: My drumsticks. I started to use the beaded end and Thomas tried to help me again, but to no avail. He then sat back and started making lude comments like, "Is she claustrophobic?" followed by, "I sure hope so!" I wanted to punch him, but I was more worried about Andrea who I could hear was inside crying. I examined the door for any possible way to open it and I saw that the bottom was further open than the top, meaning the door was off the track. I tried to use the other end of my sticks as a lever system to pry the door open from the gaping hole and it started working. I slowly worked on stick in, pryed the door open some and then stuck the other stick in and repeated the process. I kept it up until I was able to get an end of one of the stick up to the release on the door and I reset it back onto the track.

CLUNK!

The door shifted back on trap and it opened up to show Andrea crouched itno a ball on the floor and crying. She got up and rushed to the student lounge crying without thanking me, but I didn't need anything. It was good to be the hero for once and "Save the Day," as it were.

Now I need some sort of costume so that I can continue to fight evil elevator doors and rescue damsels in distress.

Another good days work and I feel fulfilled.
