As I sat down to write my blogpost at about 11:30 last night, the fire alarm in my building went off.
Now this isn't the first time the fire alarm has gone off this year. Last semester my friend's roommate caught something on fire in their kitchen and we were stuck outside of the building for over an hour. I was miserable and swore that the next time one went off I'd take my laptop with me.
Guess what I forgot last night? My laptop.
Once I got outside (sans laptop), I decided to go across the street to the computer lab. I figured (and was correct in my figuring) that it would be pretty empty at almost midnight on a Wednesday night at the beginning of the semester.
I had to print a syllabus out for one of my classes, but after that I started getting bored. They have some really cool group work stations that weren't in use, so I grabbed a keyboard and mouse so that I could try one of them out. It was so nice! I really want to use a TV as my computer monitor now!
At about 12:30 I got back into my apartment. No fire, just some stupid person pulling the alarm. With all the technology we have there should be a better way to determine whether or not to make everyone leave their rooms to go be unproductive out in the cold!
