A Rude Awakening

I am very unhappy to report that there was an unfortunate disturbance in our building at 4 AM in the form of a fire alarm. Anna and Sophie came in to wake me up and I think I thought that it was time to go to class or something as I sat up slightly, nodded my head and put my head back on. A few seconds later, I could read the panic on their lips as I finally understood that there was a fire alarm. After being outside for maybe a minute, we were let back in and I obviously crawled right back into bed.

Let me explain the circumstances of last night. We went out to a club called Creation for our Leodis residence party. At first the atmosphere seemed rather dead, and then suddenly, at 5-10 minutes to 12, as if on cue, the dance floor suddenly filled up in literally 2 minutes. Amazing. The funniest thing is that at first everyone dances in their own little circles within their own little groups, but by the end of the night people are dispersed everywhere. Prior to Creation, we stopped at the Walkabout for a couple of drinks, which was pretty busy due to the Contiki Beach Body Contest, which consisted of contestants dressed in skimpy yellow bathing suits dancing their butts off on stage for a trip. Some of them just looked so awfully uncomfortable and awkward up there with cameras flashing everywhere and guys taking pictures on their cell phones. It's amazing what people will do for money, or in this case, a free trip, but of course we already knew that... We left to Creation shortly. It was a really fun night, as I'm sure now you can understand why I am eager to hunt down the culprit of our 4 AM fire alarm....

Well it's the morning after, and following a series of consecutive lectures in which I'll be sprinting across campus because the 10 minute-in-between-class break just doesn't seem to apply here, and then we'll be off to York for a couple of days!
