The note says, "You'll find me in a place where Thursday comes after Friday. Tip toe around and don't make a sound."
The sun was nearly set and I needed to get out of the woods. I did not even begin to think about the note yet, my first priority was getting back to my room. Slightly frighten because I have never journeyed into those woods, I was unaware of the direction I came from. I started to freak out until I realized I had my phone in my pocket with a GPS so I pulled it out. I unlocked it and saw it was only on 7%. I typed in UPJ's address and by the time it found the location and I was ready to head back it was already down to 5% and losing battery fast. I needed to hurry if I didn't want to be stranded out here tonight. I started to run along the path until it started taking me in the wrong direction. I ducked under trees, jumped over logs and ran straight through bushes. It said it would take me 20 minutes to walk back but I got out of there in 5 minutes I headed back to my room where I immediately fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning still holding the note in my hand. I read it again. "You'll find me in a place where Thursday comes after Friday." I had no idea what that could mean. "Tip toe around and don't make a sound." My initial thoughts for the whole note were blank. I started with this line. I thought about the last part that said "Don't make a sound." I assumed it was somewhere that you need to remain quiet to either be or get to. Obviously the first thought is the library.
I headed to the library to try to find a note. People probably thought I was crazy because I was looking everywhere and one of the librarians even asked me if I needed help with anything. "No thank you" I said. I read the first part of the note again. "You'll find me in a place where Thursday comes after Friday." Was it leading me to the title of a book? Was it a history book that had events that happened chronologically on a Friday of one week and then the Thursday of the next week? Friday comes before Thursday alphabetically. "It's a dictionary!" I yelled in excitement. The librarian ran over to me with a mean look on her face and told me I needed to leave the library right now and never come back or she is going to call campus security. I didn't know what to say so I just walked out.
I was in shock with a million questions running through my head. What should I do about the note that's in the dictionary? Should I try going back in? Or do I ask someone go get it for me? I got back to my room and decided to ask my roommate to go into the library to retrieve the note for me. I said don't read it just bring it back to me. Sure enough the door to my room swung flying open as my roommate returned and said, "You need to read this." I rolled my eyes and grabbed the note.
