So, the freaking FIRE ALARM in my dorm went off last night at 2:00 in the freaking morning. I had actually gone to bed at something resembling a decent time, at 12:30, and I had just really gotten to sleep when my dreams were suddenly full of this weird trilling noise and people stampeding around.
So by the time I was fully awake, my RA was pounding on people's doors, the people in the room above us were stomping around (I hate those 520 girls...) but I still couldn't tell it was a fire alarm. I thought maybe there was a tornado, as the weather people had been predicting baseball-sized hail earlier in the day.
But eventually my roommate and I stumbled out of our room, down the stairs, and out across the street outside. We stood around for at least fifteen minutes. It was rather chilly. I stood around for a while in my slippers and pajama pants (the ones with the penguins toasting marshmallows), seeing people from my classes, and feeling rather silly.
It turned out that the fire alarms were just plain dysfunctional, and we got to go back in. For a while they would do this beep thing every few minutes while we tried to go to sleep. It was like trying to go to sleep while your snooze keeps going off.
I did not get much sleep last night.
