I'm a criminal!

So today I had a REALLY hard test that I spent about 30 hours studying for! I'm not even kidding! So I get up to school at 6:45am to study before my test at 9:00. Spend the next two hours taking the test, sit in another class for an hour. After all that my friend and I decided that we were going to relieve some stress by going next door to the maternity ward to look at the little babies through the window (its the next wing over from the speech clinic in the hospital). However, we couldn't find where you can look at the babies and were searching all over. We bumped into a guy who asked us what we were looking for and he pointed us into the right direction.

HOWEVER, as we were turning the corner, with our humongous over sized school bags, a security guard women abruptly asked us what we were doing and my friend innocently said, "looking for the place where you can look at the babies". The security guard quickly blocked us and said, "We don't have anything like that." So we turned around and left. We walked to the entire other side of the building and went into the bathroom to come out to see the woman again. She asked us why we were in the building (we weren't wearing out ID's) and why we were asking about the babies! She proceeded to tell us that you should never ask about babies or carry big bags like that into the area where the babies are. She wrote down our department, and what we said and told us never to do that again....and VERY suspiciously let us go.

We then had to go tell our professor that we were accused of trying to steal a baby and to be expecting a report from security! I do have to give them credit for keeping such close tabs on the babies. I mean I know Jamie just had a baby, Rox is pregnant and it seems like about half the world is pregnant right now. But I promise I don't have the baby bug so bad that I would steal one!

Hey Kayla, I am a blog stalker. I am a friend of Megan Tichenor's younger sister, MEgan. I go to Tech and live in Lubbock (obviously) and the reason they are so weird about "baby snatchers" here is because a woman actually stole a baby from UMC here about a year ago. Also, a reporter in Lubbock had a big bag with her and tried to do a story on how easy it was to steal a baby from the hospital, but they caught her!! Just wanted to give you a little back story. I hope you are enjoying Lubbock!
