Thank goodness I wasn’t trying to sleep tonight. Some idiot set off the fire alarm at 1:00 this morning. I didn’t know what it was at first, but I opened the door to see what was going on and my skull started vibrating. They weren’t kidding when they said don’t worry about sleeping through it, because it’s physically impossible. It also expains why you can’t have pets: they would go absolutely crazy. I felt my brain shaking.
Apparently our fire drills will be held at night too. It makes sense, I guess, since more people will tend to be there when they’re asleep (except my roommate, who might end up getting my in trouble with his booze). Aww crud.
Actually, I was playing hall soccer the other day with a tennis ball with a couple of guys in my hall. We had to be careful not to kick the ball too high and have it hit the fire alarm and set it off. Wouldn’t have been fun explaining to everyone why they had to leave the building… >_>
Awww man. I remember while my family was moving from San Diego to Chicago, we stayed a while in this navy hotle until our living arrangements were settled. I was screwing aruond with my bros and managed to knock off I thnk a smoke almarm from the ceiling, and ended up setting off the fire alarm. Oops.
