Well, I finally have time to make an entry, being 4:15 in the morning. I was awoken by a lot of noise and some flashing lights outside my apartment. I get up to hear something beeping in the background. Once I figure out that the beeping and flashing are not coming from the same place I decide I should probably get ready to leave since it was a fire truck making all the flashing. I gathered up my things and went outside. I asked the closest fireman if it was okay to still be in the building. He said they would have come get me if it was not, so I decided to go back to my apartment. Upon further thinking, I decided that outside maybe would be safer, just in case. I meet a couple of my neighbors outside including one that just moved in and the one who had the fire in her apartment. The fire was just a couple of couch cushions. A lit cigarette was likely the cause. Since I have to be up for work in 2 hours, I decided that I would just stay up.
