This is NOT a Drill

The problem with taking showers late at night is that they wake you up. Last Friday in the early early morning. I hopped in around 1:30AM, after Emily had finally gotten out of the bathroom. Around 3:30AM, I finally fell asleep. Finally. 3:45AM. I'm shot out of sleep by a loud, blaring noise. It's the fire alarm! After a few minutes of seriously considering going back to sleep, I blearily got up and stumbled around the room, grabbing my sandals and coat and keys and phone. Made sure that Aly and Steve and Jess left, and shut the door behind me. Outside. It's spring-night-cold. I sleep in a tanktop. I'm cold as all hell. And I'm pissed. Tori's naked under her robe. That girl over there just got out of the shower. The guy next to her is naked from the waist up, covered in goosebumps. Ten minutes later, they let us back in. I'm wide awake again. Jess is wide awake. Neither of us fall asleep again until around 5AM. Have I mentioned how fucking pissed I was? It was four in the fucking morning. If I ever figure out who the fuck pulled the alarm (because it was pulled), I'm going to disembowel them with my bare fingers. There is no excuse for pulling that sort of shit between the hours of midnight and 9AM. No. Excuse. In the real morning of Friday, I was up at nine to go get breakfast before going to the lab to help out. I had class until 1:35PM. And then I had to do laundry, clean my room, and vacuum. I didn't have time for a sodding nap. See, I still remember how tired I was Friday. How I kept almost-nodding-off during Rocky Horror. I swear, I'm going to kill whoever did it. Kill him dead. Fuckers.

you kept nodding off also? maybe it wasn't just us, and it was how many people were in the room?

...while this post makes me weep for anyone who has to live in a dorm, anywhere. I've only had the early-morning fire alarm thing happen to me once, but it was still really annoying 'cause you're barely awake and probably need to hit class the next day or what-not...

Yeah, that was the second or third time it's happend. But at least I was awake for the other ones. And didn't have classes at an obscene hour in the morrning.

I'm still going to wring the person's neck, if I ever find out who did it. Even moreso if it turns out to be someone from a different dorm.

I'm in favor of coating fire pulls in magenta paint, or acid, or both. Mark and hurt the morons who do it--and if it's a real fire. . . . well, an acid burn is better than a body burn... them's the ropes, dude.

We had one week with THREE pulls--all at obscene hours of the morning. All in the middle of bloody winter. (okay, so winter in GA isn't as bad as winter in, say, Vermont, but really!) I lived in a high rise (9 floors), and it would take 30 minutes for them to let us back in.

We used to grab our keys and go sit in our cars. Brr.

Oh maaaan that sucks.

I wouldn't mind so much if I had a car to go sit in. 'Cause I would totally go and fall asleep in the car. ;-) The one that happened before that one, they didn't let us in at least 25 minutes, and then we had to have a meeting in the basement so's that they could chew us out.

At, like, two in the morning.

I hate college kids.

All the more reason for College Rule #1: (in the immortal words of Jeremy Piven)--"Someone on your hall will have a car. Make friends with him."

We would bargain for who had the biggest car in the closest lot--Goddess, Princess, or Rape. If we were all in the rape lot, we usually just froze.
