Yesterday and today have been dominated by migraine inducing fire alarms going off for around seven hours, as my building is having its system replaced, and therefore they have to make sure they can hear it and have updated it in every room on every floor. 12 floors (including first floor and basement), and, specifically on the residential floors, (10 floors, 20 rooms per floor - 200 rooms not including the miscellaneous ones in the basement and first floor) sooo it's been an adventure. I might have just refused to get out of bed yesterday and just buried my head under my pillow in attempt to sleep through it. Spring Break is almost over, now, and I'm sad I missed the opportunity to really just laze around doing nothing, since I now seriously need to do homework and study for my upcoming tests. Alas, I now need to do that stuff. Obviously, homework and fire alarms aren't among my favorite things for the week, but some things that are...
ps: Just to clarify, that's NOT my little brother, that's someone else's! I've got a brother seventeen years older than me, but that's all I've got in family! That kid is the brother of some person on tumblr. Sorry if there was any confusion!
They really suck! I think it was worse this time, though, because it wasn't even a drill. It was just two full, seven-hour days of TESTING. It was definitely not fun. They did change up the voice of the person saying there's a fire, though, which was kind of surprising the first few times it went off.
Gosh, your little brother is such a cutie! Funny how these kids can cry like crazy one minute, and laugh and fool around the next :) The best way to brighten your day! Hope that the fire alarm is now silenced and good luck with all the school work!
Oh goodness, he's not my little brother! He's the little bro of someone on tumblr who posted that ages ago. I couldn't find a picture that had kept their url, or the original post, unfortunately, but yeah. Kids can be pretty impressive with how they handle their emotions, though. Fire alarm's silent - till the next drill or 3AM alarm triggered by one of our future absent professors who forgets foil doesn't belong in the microwave. Thank you!
I love to hear from my readers and those new to my blog (feel free to url-drop if you need to)! Interacting with people can be so inspiring. PLEASE DON'T leave me just "FOLLOW MY BLOG" messages that you copypasta on dozens of blogs - I follow blogs when I feel inspired by their content, and I try to show it by actively commenting on the content they've generated. I will delete these responses, because they make me extremely uncomfortable. (Yes, I'm aware that's pretty odd... I'm sorry).
Fire alarms are the worst when they are just drills - I hate getting outta bed!
