September the 9th: I hate fire drills
We had a fire drill today (planned or unplanned is the question, the RAs swear it was planned but their faces and the kid who said he set it off by cooking an egg in the microwave say different). MY GOD IT'S LOUD though, took me a minute to figure out what was going on it was so loud, then I had to pause the computer, grab some sandals, keys, lock door, grab Olivia, and run down nine flights of stairs. We were waiting outside for 10 minutes or so before this tiny fire-truck with only one fireman on it comes (okay seriously, I know where the fire station is and it isn't that far off). Took them another five or so minutes to turn off the bloody alarm. Olivia and I were talking to a guy who had been in the shower when the alarm went off. Thaaaattt's gotta suck, I know that racing up and down all those flights of stairs in shower shoes, can't imagine having to change and do it (NINE FLIGHTS OF STAIRS! Goddam that could kill you if you did them too fast with a heart condition...).
Other than that today was pretty quiet. Ran up three flights earlier to get to Japanese and tried to get my paper worked on at the Writing Center but they had one person left to help the walk ins and the guy behind me had his paper due tomorrow *coughdumbasscough* so I had to schedule for Friday, I just hope I don't forget. Also had to watch this movie on what to do during a "active shooter situation." Ended up pretty much being a "Let's make Dreamer even more paranoid than she already is" movie. Had to go and get Swedish Fish and a smoothie to make up for it, decided it was going to be junk food night, hope I don't regret this later... signing off.
