Fire Drill Count

Well, we're now up to 11.  Why?  Because there was apparently one around noon when I was in class, as well as the one we just had.

Good night, everyone.  See you bright and early for 8 AM Physics!  At least I like Physics.  =D

Fire Drill Count

Well, at least this time it was in the morning instead of late late at night.  #9.

Of course, I had just finished my shower and was getting dressed when BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.   I got dressed really fast and headed out with my hair in a towel.  Ugh.

Anyway.  I want food now.  The fire drill severely postponed my breakfast.

What better way to start election day than with a--BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Yep.

#7, I guess.

Ugh.

But thankfully, the nice people on my hall remeinded me to set my clocks back, which I had completely forgotten.  

More about yesterday later.  Really tired right now.

A fire drill at a normal time? No way!

#6, and yes way.  We had the sixth fire drill of the year at about 12:45.  It was COLD.  But at least it was not at 2 AM.

I wouldn't be surprised if it frosts soon, though.  I keep forgetting to pull out either of my warm coats, though, since the dorm is very good at retaining heat AND they turned the radiators on.  I was considering changing into a t-shirt earlier before I turned the fan on.

Ok, enough ranting.  Back to homework.

BTW, I can't wait to see my parents this weekend!  Major <3!

Fall Break!

Today is the official start of Fall Break (aka we get today and today only off of school).  A lot of people on my hall went home, and while that would have been nice, I felt that driving ten hours round trip would take too much of a giant chunk out of the weekend for me to really be able to enjoy the weekend at home.  I want to be able to go home, shop, hang out with my parents, hang out with friends, play with Radar, sleep in my own bed, get a haircut… and one weekend wouldn't cut it, or at least not this time.  I'm waiting until Thanksgiving, since Virginia Tech is nice enough to give us a week off plus weekends.  Plus, I'll get to see my awesome parents on Parents Weekend, for which I am very excited.  So I'm saving gas and staying here right now.

By the way, to all of you fashion-conscious people:  I want my hair cut short, but I'm not sure what I want done with it.  If you have any suggestions (shorter than shoulder length), please tell me.  I want it short, easy to maintain, and cute, but I'm not sure what I can get away with with my crazy hair.  (humidity = frizz)

Well, I'm probably going to go try out Crumb and Get It pretty soon.  It's like Coldstone ice cream, but with cookies.  Very excited.  I've decided to try out the local off-campus cuisine this weekend.  So… I should go do that.  Yeah.

In the meantime, does anyone want to make any guesses as to how many fire drills I will have this month?  No prizes if you guess right, but the knowledge that you won, of course, is always a terriffic prize.  I'm guessing five.

#5  (View the time stamp, please.  I got a very pleasant wake-up call of BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH after being asleep for a while.)

Though I'm sure it isn't on purpose that all our fire "drills" end up in the wee hours of the morning.  I think either some not-so-well-meaning prankster pulls the fire alarm, or someone decides he or she really really really  needs popcorn at 2:30 AM.  And burns it.  I really think the dorms don't bother to schedule fire drills; they just happen on their own.

Ugh.  Just got back in a few minutes ago.  Really, who needs burnt popcorn at 12:20 AM?

And poor R got caught in the shower... again.  And had to come out in her bath robe.  Hasn't happened to me yet, but who knows what the future will bring, right?  =)
