a history of me

Let's see: I'm coming down with a cold, I've got a lot of reading to do today for an exam tomorrow morning, and at some point today I'm getting a roommate. Oh yeah, we had a fire alarm this morning circa 5:30. Drill or not, I can't believe that after weeks of sweltering, sleep-with-the-fan-on-hot weather, we were standing outside this morning in cold, see-your-breath weather. Just my luck. Of course, like all fire alarms, we were stuck waiting outside long after the alarm stopped and the fire department had come and gone. Thankfully they didn't try any of that "pretend this is a real fire" crap, like telling us to step away from the building or something. I would have gone for an eye socket otherwise.
