Stupid Fire Alarm!
Ok so I'm kind of still mad right now from this morning when the fire alarm in Richardson Towers went off at 10 am. I was still in bed and wasn't planning on getting up for at least another hour when all of a sudden I hear the most annoying noise in the world and see a bright light flashing in my room. I woke up and realized it was the fire alarm. I didn't even have any pants on. Just underwear and a tank top. Well I was in no hurry. I got some shorts out of my drawer, put a sweatshirt on because I figured it would be chilly, put my shoes on, then I grabbed my purse and put my phone in it and got my keys out and left with my roommate. I made sure to lock my door because I was told that people sometimes pull the fire alarm and then go room to room and see who left their door unlocked and then steal stuff. So I always make sure to lock the door. So we go outside and we're standing out there for more than 30 minutes. I was really getting pissed off. I didn't get enough sleep, I had to pee, and I was hungry. It's just so dumb. There's not a fire, someone just pulled the alarm. I know they have to pretend like it's a real fire, but everyone knows there was no fire. Even the firemen probably get tired of coming to towers for our fire alarms. I bet every time they get the call they are thinking "Oh great, another 'fire' at Richardson Towers." It's just so annoying. What thrill do people get from pulling a fire alarm? Sometimes I guess it goes off because people are dumb and they burn things in their microwaves. But seriously people, this is ridiculous! Goh, I'm just so furious about it. I was getting so mad just standing outside for 30 minutes when I could be sleeping. And of course I couldn't go back to sleep when I got back up here. I was already awake by then. I'm just so mad. That's that.

At my high school, we had to do fire drills at least twice a month. I don't know why, but the administration seemed to think it would make us more safe. (That didn't stop one especially nice teacher from informing us that in the event of a fire, we would all die because we wouldn't get out of the building fast enough.) The fire department would have to respond EVERY SINGLE TIME. I felt really bad for the firemen that would have to respond..it's such a waste of time.
haha. i'm sry. the fire alarm went off at church this past sunday while the preacher was preaching. it finally went off and he started talking again and it went off again. that happened a couple of times. one of the kids in the nursery pulled the alarm, and it apparently was broken and wouldn't shut all the way. it was rather funny. but if i was in your shoes i would have been mad too.
