Fire alarms and greetings


Oy vey, I was woken up at 8am by a fire alarm today. This being one of my days to sleep in as well, as I have no classes, grrrrrrr. And...since many of my housemates did not bother going out, we will have to do it all over again. Guess who will not be making the effort next time? What did I learn from this: how to get out the front door, which I have been doing daily for the last three months. So glad someone showed me how to do it properly. Isn't it the legal obligation in this country as well that every building over a certain size have two exits/entrances? If one of these dorms caught fire, I fear the casualties would be very high, considering that and the fact that our windows only open a couple of inches (guess they suicide proofed them not too long ago).

Interesting how every English speaking country/region seems to sign letters slightly different. Americans of course sign off with Sincerely, English with Regards, Australians with Best Regards and Irish with Kind Regards. I'm favourable to the Irish sign off myself.

modified to add: My god have I had another gorgeous breakfast. Made a 3 egg omelette with feta cheese and spinach, and toast with butter and marmalade. There was a tragedy though...I used up all the milk last night and could not make any tea:(

Oh bugger, and I thought I had it all figured out;)

Yep, I do mean me. The second test drill was today and I was about to get into the shower. Would have been late getting to uni had I participated. It is a rather silly thing, to tell people ahead of time there will be a drill, as most will ignore it.
