My First Fire Alarm - Wednesday, October 8, 2003
This morning I woke up to an annoying buzzing alarm. I thought it was just somebody's alarm clock going off (and them being too tired to go turn it off) in a nearby room, so I went back to sleep after a while. Maybe half an hour later, our R.A. Leo burst into my room and woke me up, saying we had to evacuate the building. It was then that I realized what that annoying buzzing really was. As I went downstairs, I saw a firetruck parked outside the building. The alarm stopped ringing, and I didn't see any fire or even smoke, but they still made us walk to the nearby parking lot. Soon after that they dismissed us, allowing us to go back upstairs. I wasn't too happy about losing sleep over what seemed like nothing, and I was falling asleep through all my classes.

After my Comp Sci lecture in Franz Hall ended at 6, I walked across campus and up the hill and found the gathering place for Asian American Christian Fellowship (AACF) at the Sproul Hall turnaround. Then we all walked down the hill to the AACF meeting room in.. wouldn't you know it, Franz Hall. They had a time of songs, a skit, a message, and then more songs. Having missed dinner, I was extremely hungry, but I had an awesome time. Afterwards, I stopped at Puzzle's where I found out that people who missed dinner at the residence halls may still grab a late bite.
