That's the when the school office opens and the person in charge of the master key is around to give it to me. The locks aren't electronic and are built such that everybody's keys open the lock to the building, but the same keys only then unlock their own rooms.

The recovery process involved me borrowing pants from someone so I could walk to the hospital and back to get the keys. It's my fault for having such a good habit of locking my doors that I'll even do it when I'm not thinking (or not wanting) to. The shitty thing though is that this could be avoided if the locks were designed better. I frowned at these two aspects when I first came here:

1) doors were lockable by pressing a button on the inside doorknob
2) doors were only lockable in the above manner, you can not lock the doors outside by turning the key.

That means the only way to lock them is to pray (or check) that you have your keys on you before locking your door.

Requiring that you must have the key to both lock and unlock the doors would make it foolproof.
