Anyway.
A few weeks ago, I was taking a nap in my room after a particularly strenuous day of school. It was probably the most wonderful nap I've taken in my life (well... at the time it was, anyway).
I went to sleep at about 3:30pm and set my alarm for 7 (it was Wednesday and Pat was coming over to do chemistry homework). At about 6:15, I suddenly woke up because I had a weird dream. In the dream, air raid sirens were sounding, bombs started dropping, it was a full-scale terrorist attack on my dorm. No joke (this part legitimately made me cry in my dream...), a 747 airplane crashed into my residence tower. So I woke up to escape this terrible terrible nightmare. However, I quickly came to realize that the air raid sirens were not coming from my dream, but from outside my door in the hallway. Along with the terrible droning alarm, a man's voice was booming, "THE FIRE ALARM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING SAFELY AND ORDERLY THROUGH THE NEAREST EXIT."
So I hesitantly got up out of bed, put on a sweatshirt, grabbed my room key, and started heading toward the stairs. They taught us at orientation, plus it's obvious common knowledge that the elevators don't work when the fire alarm is pulled. So, of course, I had to take the stairs.
Did I mention I live on the 13TH MOTHER FUCKING FLOOR of my tower?
So I had to walk 13 flights of stairs (which took close to 15 minutes. If there really was a fire, I would be better off going back to bed and burning alive) and out into the POURING RAIN. So here I am, half awake, angry as all hell, and generally pissed at life. We all stood around for about 10 minutes before they gave us the O.K. to head back up. From the minute I opened the stairwell door, I started making the most unfortunate face, and it stayed that way for a while because as soon as I got back to my room and crawled back into bed to try and sleep a little more before Pat showed up, my stupid phone alarm went off to remind me of how hard my life sucked and that it was already 7:00.
And my face stayed that way for another 2 days.
