Why I'm stuck here.

Okay, so, I am pretty much trapped on base (where I live) until 3pm tomorrow. Jordan and I went to his parents' house for Thanksgiving. They live in Phoenix, AZ. I accidentally left my purse there. It had my military ID, driver's license, debit card, etc. in the wallet. So, when we got to the base, they weren't going to let me on. We called base security and got them to make a special circumstances waiver or whatever, but they said that I can't leave the base until I have an ID, or I won't be able to get back on. Jordan's parents are overnighting my cards to me, and then regular-sending the rest of the purse, but they won't get here until 3pm tomorrow. So I am trapped in my house, basically. I mean, I could go for a walk, but I can't go to the store, not only because I don't have a debit card or cash with which to buy anything, but because you can't buy anything without a military ID. I can't go to the on-base movie theater (it's free, so that's pretty awesome) or bowling alley or anything like that either, because those all require an ID, too. Usually, you can get on-base without your ID if you are not the driver, because they usually only ask for the driver to show it. But, for the last week or so, we have had increased security for reasons unknown, and they have a 100% ID check in place indefinitely. It sucks. Also, as long as someone in the car has a military ID, you can just show a driver's license or school ID or any other picture ID and they'll let you on, but I don't have any of those, either. It is a strange feeling, to have absolutely no proof that you are who you say you are. I mean, I have a social security card and stuff, but that could be anyone's card - there's no picture. So there you go. I can't got to school, and finals start next week. So I am stressed out about this. Anyway, yeah, hopefully I'll be back to school on Wednesday...
