This morning around 5:15 or 5:20 the fire alarm went off. I was prepared for this, in a sense. Each semester the school is required to have a fire drill, so we knew it was coming. I had a project that I was working on late last night, so I did not get to sleep until midnight. (Not enough sleep for me!) I had to be at the pool by 6am to open it for lap swim . . . . so aside from a 20 minute nap, I haven’t had any sleep today. I also have a headache that won’t go away. Very annoying.
Back to the fire drill. I was awakened by a short burst of an alarm that I thought was just in my dreams… well, it went off again and didn’t stop until we were all out of the building. As an RA I have to go through each cluster and check each room to make sure that the girls are out and that they followed procedure. Just so you don’t worry, we have been instructed that if there is an actual fire and we see, feel any fire or danger we are to leave immediately.
Once having told the resident director and security that our floor is clear, we exit. This morning was special though and my floor welcomed the new morning by singing happy birthday to my lucky resident whose birthday is today.
Now we’re going to flash through the headachy blur that was my day and settle upon now.
Currently I am listening to our campus radios live broadcast of War of the Worlds. They are doing a great job and it has completely made my day.
I will be going to bed shortly.
Happy Birthday Amy and Anna!
(And my resident, Christi!)
