Even though I am not superstitious, the first (of last hopefully) event occurred. I was sound asleep when all of a sudden, my alarm clock started to go off. I naturally reached over and hit the snooze button and fell back asleep. The sound did not go away, but was so tired, and not really thinking. A few minutes later, I woke up again to that same steady annoying sound that mimicked my alarm clock. Again, I reached over and hit the snooze button, but didn't fall to sleep. Although the noise would not go away, I swore it was my alarm clock and continued hitting the snooze button, not really thinking what was going on. I thought, "perhaps I am dreaming".
After a few minutes of hitting the snooze button and finally unplugging my alarm clock, thinking it might be broken after the second blow, I realized it was not the alarm clock. I was awake and not dreaming. My roommate then woke up shouting "what is that?" and laid back down as if it were going to go away or it was me messing with my alarm clock. We tried to ignore it and then my senses started to kick in, and I thought I smelled burning and ran into the living room to see if was my place burning. It was the fire alarm, but was not my place burning. Whew!
I grabbed my phone, and keys and my roommate (Matt) and I walked out to see smoke erupting forth from the other side of the building, and everyone standing outside. It was really cold outside and we saw our other roommate. In the mist of all this, our other roommate packed his computer up and was standing out side with it by his computer. So he grabbed his computer and not his other roommates. We were all safe though, and the fire was caused by someone making french fries at 2 in the morning and the grease got a little to intense and the people tried to put it out with water. Bad Mistake!
A great way to start Friday the 13th!
