Grrrr, parents!

I left my phone off for several days. 'Cause I forget it exists. So my parents decided that since I hadn't called and they hadn't been able to call me that it was okay to call my dorm phone at 7:30 this morning. It's not okay to call me at 7:30 in the morning unless death, doom, and destruction are raining down in great measure.
I turned on my cell and there were five messages on it, each becoming more frantic. Am I crazy, or is it not that bizarre for a college student to be out of touch with her parents for four or five days? Buh.

no. not at all. and most parents should know these days that email is a perfectly viable option for contact. can't reach you by phone--send an email saying "hey, tried to call you, no answer, what's up?" simple as that.

I emailed them in the time they couldn't reach me by phone. It's not like there was no contact at all. *Sigh*

my mom always contacts me by aim.
it shouldn't be bizarre to not hear from an adult person for more than 4 days. some people here on campus probably have problems contacting their parents!
but give them a break, at least it means they care about you... I guess ^_^

That's certainly the theory. It's the daily messages on my voicemail and the 7:30am call that trouble me...It's not like they haven't gotten e-mails from me in that time.

*Sigh*
