Had a black out last night. Was pitch black!! but fun lighting candles and stuff. The power was only off for about 20mins though, which was good, becasue i hadnt had a shower (how am i meant to do that in complete darkness?) and i hadnt printed off my lecture notes and megan was trying to study for an exam. And apart from that, it's just annoying on a weeknight.
Today started out normal. Beautiful weather this morning. Walked to the station to get the 6:57am train, got the train, got the bus, arrived at uni, talked with fellow class members and then proceeded upstairs to our tute. It was the first day of lit review seminars/presentations, so we didnt actually do any work. So we finished 40 mins early, so i went with Kirsten to work in the library for 2.5hrs. Joy! Not. So after wasting a lot of time searching for journal articles, and playing around on myspace, we headed back up for the lecture. OMG it was like walking into a freezer!! For such a hot day, the auditorium was ridiculous! Good thing i had a jacket with me. So we get through 15 mins of the lecture, when we found ourselves in complete darkness again (much the same as last night). So that sucks, cos there was no power, meaning we couldnt see the power point and Rob (the lecturer) had to continue teaching us in the dark. Mind you, we tried hard to get a massive early mark. So we continue on in the dark for about 10 mins, when the fire alarm starts going off. Fairly funny stuff. Rob was just like "no, no, this is just so that we prepare to leave"... stupid man. So he tries to keep going over the noise of the fire alarm, and us laughing and making jokes about how we will trapped in there... yeah rite. But then the real fire alarm went off, and so everyone is evacuated and sent to the oval (we just all went home 25 mins early!!, cos we had no more classes). And when laura and i were driving back up to the highway, we pass two fire trucks rushing back towards the uni, sirens blaring. And what do we do? Laugh. Now i look back and think, thats not funny, but it was kinda funny at the time. Unless it was just that 'laugh cos your nervous and its instinct kicking in and you dont know what else to do' thing.
So i get home and fell asleep for half an hour - i mean it was a very stressful day, i deserve my sleep. And now i am making it look like i am working on assignments, when really i am blogging and myspacing and emailing... hahaha. And Dad just phoned about 30 mins ago, saying trains are screwed up cos there are fires at Cowan. (oh! so that's where all the smoke is coming from!) ... it has been a fire filled week - all week we have been able to smell the fires at Pittwater, and today there was the uni fire, and now there are fires in the next suburb!! Just fantastic isnt it.
