Doing a B. and E. like a pro.

So a couple days ago, I left to bike to school and drop some papers off for one of my teachers (I don't have classes this month, we have our mid-year break), and when I got back, I realized my host mom had  left, and my host dad was at work. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but because I was planning on only being out of the house for a short time, I didn't bring my backpack, which has my house keys in it... I think you can see where this is going.

So close... yet so far...

So I give my mom a call, and she tells me that she is already way outta town, and won't be back for another 5 hours, and my dad wont be back for maybe another 6 or 7. Damn. I was just about to hop on my bike and head back out to sit at the river and maybe nap until I could be let in, but I figured I would see if there was any way I could make it into the house. All the windows in the house were open, but they all have metal bars across them, and both the front and back doors were locked tight. I was hooped. 5 hours of waiting, here I come. But as I getting ready to leave, a wild idea came over me. I got back off my bike, and headed around back to where my room was. I peered through the window, and I saw it... my backpack was sitting right there, about 2 meters from the window, taunting me. I started looking around the yard for supplies to make some sort of a hook and line system, to pull my back to the  window so i could grab my keys out of it.
There's a fair amount of junk laying around in my yard, but of course, nothing very suitable for the job. Eventually I found some really old beat up ribbon and an umbrella. I fashioned a make-shift fishing line out of them, and cast away at my bag, through the barred window. Unfortunately for me though, the old ribbon broke as soon as the line when taught, and now I was down a set of keys, and my hooking device, which now laid right next to my bag...
I wasn't about to give up yet though. I looked around a bit more, and found a clothes hangar for a hook, but still couldnt find any sort of decent rope. Then, sitting right across from my window, I found my solution. Vines.

My selected materials

 I picked a vine from the plant, and pulled on either end to test how strong it was. Disappointingly, not very strong. But I think of little bit of my dad's side of me shone through for a bit, and I got the idea to pull out some more vines, so I could weave and braid them into a stronger 3 strand rope. I ended up with about 2 1/2 meters of this 'rope' and when I tested it again, it held up very well. I fashioned a loop out of some of the more supple vines, and spliced either end into my rope to attach the hangar to it, and I was left with my new and improved B and E tool.
I tossed it through my window and at my bag several times before it finally caught my strap, and then I slowly hauled my bag across my room and up to the window, where I was able to reach in and grab my keys and let myself into the house, averting a 5 hours nap with the ants and roaches at the riverside.
Im not gunna lie, I felt like a total badass... So I felt the need to share it with you all. Hope you could at least get a chuckle out of it :)

SUCCESS!
