Drum roll, please.

There's only two research papers and two exams standing between me and home!

Quick break from research to brag. Okay bye.

Edit later: Oh I should tell my story from today.

I got up early (for me on a Tuesday) and decided to go to the gym (which I do every single day now, yeppppp). Normal enough. As usual, I left my phone and my money and all my worldly possessions in my room and made my way down to the gym. I did my normal workout, but towards the end of working out I noticed a lot of people standing in front of the desk where I left my ID. I was not pleased, because I looked like hell and wasn't keen on going out there and retrieving it looking like I did.

Don't worry, though, my disturbing looks weren't the problem.

During my workout I noticed two firetrucks outside, in between my building and the freshman dorms. I vaguely thought "I hope my building isn't on fire" but mostly I was excited because I love. Love. Love firetrucks. And by love I mean LOVE. Anyway, I went about my business as usual, retrieved my ID and went outside to go into my building.

NOPE. Access denied. A fireman was standing outside turning anyone away who wanted to go in. A small crowd had gathered and soon my RD was going through, followed by someone else in housing who, over his shoulder, told us it would be awhile.

Mk.

My friend was outside and I went over to him, asked what was up, and he told me that someone had been smoking in their room and set off the fire alarms and sprinkler system.

I was irritated, of course, but I went back to the gym and got back on the machines while Facebooking through my iPod trying to get Katie's attention. THANK GOODNESS she happened to be on, because soon I was on my way over to her academic campus where she gave me a sweater and fed me. Then I sat in on her nursing lecture for an hour before I was aloud to go back.

Ridiculous, I tell you. But hey, firetrucks!
