the blind leading the blind?

yesterday was bizarre. twenty minutes into my first class, the fire alarm went off. relevant information: there are about 25 people in the class, and three (female) students are blind to some extent...one of them can see ok, and the other two not at all (one has a guide dog and the other has a walking stick/cane).

so. my class is on the third floor. everyone in class was being nice and let the blind students leave class first. normally, i would expect some pushing, but there was none. if there had actually been a fire (and at that point, we didn't know that the problem was a system malfunction and not a fire), we would have all been incinerated beacuse we all got stuck going down the staris behind the blind girls. actually, the girl who could sorta see was leading the girl with the dog. slooooowly. i was really amused by that. i know it sounds bad, but i allow myself to be amused by these things. otherwise, i would have freaked out that i wasn't escaping fast enough for my liking.

i eventually made it outside (yay! i escaped the potential fire and instead get to stand out in the boiling heat!) and then, while standing there all alone and so sad, this weird guy comes up to me. and he says: i don't know if you care, but you're standing next to a dead squirrel.

i looked down and there indeed was a dead squirrel by my shoe. and it was flattened. i don't know where its insides went (i'm still wondering). its tail was still kinda fluffy though. it wasn't bothering me so much...it was more like a taxidermied squirrel, perfectly squished and preserved, but without the stuffing inside...anyhow, i moved away because weird dude was very concerned that i was standing near it. i would just like to say that he had unexplainable man boobs, too.

half an hour later we got to return to class...and when we sat down, the fire alarm went off again. so we left and it stopped. and we went back into class, and it started again. after that happened half a dozen or so more times, the prof cancelled class and we all got to leave early.

that is mostly the end of my story. so: the end.

also, i am finished taking the GRE forever as of today. i made a better score than last time and didn't want to cry halfway through the test. that is a good thing. i'm very relieved.

also also, my doggie didn't howl last night and i got an entire seven hours of uninterrupted sleep. wheee!
