The Great Library Fire

For those of you who don't know, I hate working in the library as a general concept. It's too quiet and sterile for me to really feel comfortable. However, sometimes I realize that I need to be more productive than usual, and that the occasional trip to the library is good for me. This was my thought process today, as I wanted to do a Torts practice exam, and wanted to do under conditions as close to exam conditions as physically possible. As that rules out doing work in my room, I packed up and headed to the library.

I was all set to work; my phone was in my room, my internet was off, and I was even using one of those sets of foam earplugs that GULC gives you during the exam. I had gotten through abotu 60% of my paragraphs, and was right on schedule to finish when I heard,

"May I have your attention, please? May I have your attention, please? A fire emergency has been reported in the building. Please evacuate via the nearest exit. Do not use the elevator...May I have your attention, please...."

Now, there are three scenarios under which a fire evacuation will happen:
1. There is an actual fire. As I was allowed back in the library about 20 minutes later, I have a distinct feeling that this was not the case, or at least there was no actual danger from said fire.
2. Someone pulled the fire alarm. This would be violently uncool. I mean, its a week before my first final, and someone's gonna pull that nonsense? Seriously?
3. This was a fire drill. This is even more flagrantly uncool. To give us all of this work to do then to pull us away from it for a fire drill, is the product of a twisted mind. Although if they wanted to test mass evacuation procedure, there's probably no better time...

So, in summation, the next time I want peace and quiet, I think I'll just stay home.

May all your hits be crits,
