Late Night Excitement!?!?!?!?

Alright.... please note what time I'm writing this! Wanna know what I'm doing up this late?!?!? Tonight has been a NIGHTMARE! I went to bed shortly after eating something... and was digging the idea of getting to bed early, and sleeping in on Friday (Veteran’s Day).

Well, about 2 and a half hours ago, my fire alarm went off (high pitched alarm...and recorded voice telling us to walk down the stairs. Actually the whole building's fire alarm went off. We all had to evacuate to the loading dock... and spend the next hour standing on the street. Fire trucks came.... several cops came.... and even an ambulance.

We found out from the firemen that some idiots got drunk, destroyed the 3rd floor (kicked holes in the walls, pulled up the baseboards, etc).... then they went to the 5th floor and opened up a fire extinguisher... causing a lot of "smoke" and the chemicals got stuck in the air system setting off the alarm... and thereby forcing us (all 500 tenants) to evacuate the building (oh yeah.. did I mention this was at 12:30 am, and I was SLEEPING). Then, after an hour of being outside, Even when it was safe to get back in the building, we had to walk up the stairs cause the elevators hadn't reset. Yeah, and apparently whoever did all this crap were the same idiots who stole a large iron man-hole cover and were rolling it down the concrete stairwell about an hour before the “alarm crap”.

Then I come back to my apartment, and all these students evacuated without their keys, so they were waiting for the RA to come... and having a "lounge-fest" in the hallways. Then I get ready to lay back down.. and this party starts next door.. and is really loud!!! So, I get ready to go tell them to be quiet, when I hear a loud pounding on a door across the hall.. and a loud voice yell "Open up, this is the Police Department". Apparently they found out the name of the person who set off the extinguisher (his name was Micah)... and they went to the apartment of a guy named Micah to talk to his (turned out the be the wrong guy... which of course freaked out the poor innocent guy across the hall). Of course when the police came out, Chris and I went to see what the hell was going on. Then, because there were still people awake wandering the halls... they all wanted to visit... and I got to bitch about being so irritated. Most of them were all ... "oh well... there's no class tomorrow, so lets just get over it".

I'm officially surrounded by MORON'S. The only good thing that came was that Chris (the guy across the hall) and I met these two really cool people while we were waiting to go back in the building. We're thinking of going out tomorrow night. But, man.. what a way to get a social life!?!?!?!?!

So, I'm going to put in my earplugs, and my eye mask.. close the shades, and SLEEP IN so I can wake up and write my "I'm Pissed" letter to the housing board. I'll try writing tomorrow and to tell you all about my group presentation (By the way... aced it) :-)
