How's my life today? Why... Thanks for asking. >.>
Last night, there was a horrible northern storm that brought 8 inches of rain and marble-sized hail - luckily, my little car is ok. This morning, said car with it's jacked up differential and nearly-bald tires had the worse luck fighting up a slick, wet hill. Poor dear. So I finally arrived at school, soaking wet - it had started raining once more - but ready to take my college-credit exam. I had just finished the multiple choice section - in half the average time, I might add - feeling confident about all but three. Now, twas time to begin the free-response section. My favorite. It means that I get to write long, beautiful sentences criticizing or hailing a work. It was the end of the first of three essays when suddenly-
WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAHThere goes the fire alarm. >:(
"Don't worry! It's just a random alarm test! Everyone head out to the flag poles and we will be back in a few minutes. No no! Leave your belongings here."
So we did.
30 minutes later, a Fire Marshall comes to inform us that the Athletic Laundry room's dryer caught on fire, but that the flames had been contained to that room. It will be an hour before we can return to the testing room.
Our testing proctor gets on her tele and rings central office to find out the condition of our tests. Turns out, if you leave a testing room for more than 30 minutes, all tests are
invalidated. Great.
After some time of arguing with the man on the other end, our proctor is able to get only our essay scores invalidated since the multiple-choice section had been taken up only moments prior to the alarm. Now we have to come back and rewrite our essays this summer. Joy. Better off than no score at all right? Yeah. Sure. >.>
Oh! Our stuff? Well it turns out that no one without a mask was going to be allowed back into the school until Monday because of the fumes created by the fire. Everyone was enraged. In that rare moment where usually opposing forces can join together, my arch-rival and I approached the proctor and managed to convince her to have a fireman retrieve the belongings of the students - namely car keys and purses.
So that settled that. [Except for the fact that the two vintage bronze coin necklaces I had been asked to remove because they were a "distraction" suddenly went missing. :/ ]
Then, as I went to call my father to inform him of the events and that I would be coming home early, I realized that the rain from earlier had shorted out the speakers in my phone, rendering it utterly useless without headphones. Ugh.
Today is just one of those days where I should not have gotten out of bed. I'm just going to go work on my graphic design project and cry a little.
Thanks for reading my rant.
