up and about 1 and a half hours earlier
Why did I wake up at 8 when I could have slept till 9.30, you ask? Because of the fire drill………..
*sigh*
Couldn’t sleep last night, no idea why. Ended up nodding off at around 4, I think? I definately heard the clock strike 3. Then, what seemed to be waaaaayyy too soon there was this gawdawful noise blaring….. Made me practically JUMP out of bed before my brain clicked on to work. Heard doors banging outside and footsteps runnoing. Threw on a pair of jeans I have haning around and grabbing my jacket, phone and keys (NEARLY forgot that…. close call…. can be fined 25 GBP if I lock myself out….) and rushed down via the fire exit, which conviniently enough is right opposite my room.
Got out to the courtyard where the students from my wing were gathered. Gave our room number to the person in charge. All of use guessed that it was a fire drill, so we all lounged around chatting, looking all blurry eyed and sleepy, except for a scattering few who were already up and about. I talked to the girl who lives right next to me and discussed about the weather (rolls eyes…), x’mas and all that…. *grin*
Around 20 minutes after that we were shooed back into the building. I came back up to my room, but couldn’t sleep… rolled around in bed for around half and hour and gave up. So I got up to make breakfast.
Having eaten breakfast, I still have a bit of time to go before having to go to class…. which explains why I’m up in LJ this early (well… to ME at least… I do late well… early, no…) drinking tea, and trying to get my brain to work.
