fire escape

be proud because i worked out yesterday. its been awhile...three days of soreness after gator ball and ultimate frisbee proved that. the ipod was a definate plus to the whole workout environment yesterday. when i finally got back to my dorm after lunchtime, no sooner had i walked in then the fire alarm start going off. this was no drill fire alarm either. i can always remember walking through the hallways of school back in the day with by hands covering my ears...everyone does that. well, even the past fire drills we've had at school have the same annoying ear piercing wails. but no, these alarms are nothing compared to the real alarms. these alarms were so loud that they don't even allow you to think...too busy running in circles trying to get away from the noise. i don't think that even if i were ten feet under ground it would have done any good. i had enough sense to lock my door, just in case someone could withstand the sirens and sneak into my room to steal something. anyway, finally escaped to see smoke coming out of the building. so it was real. or so i thought. seemed pretty real, but turns out the steam room pipes or something of that sort had busted in the basement and set the alarms off. we didn't find this out until waiting outside for 45 minutes. they decided to let us quickly go back in to get something if we needed it and advised us to go hang out somewhere esle. i was still stinky, so i opted to take the fasted shower in my life. the alarms actually weren't as bad in the bathroom.

so that was pretty much the most eventful part of saturday. hung out in my room for the rest of the day and then headed over to ecv with amy to play a few games with colette's bf and his friends. quite an interesting crowd. well, i'm off to play ultimate frisbee in the beautiful sunshine...it was supposed to start at 2:30...but looks like me and my ride are going to be late.
