11 days of classes!

last night meredith and i went to wilmington to see the goo goo dolls! they were really good, and i recognized most of the songs although i didnt know all the words and stuff... she went to see my favorite band with me, so i had to go see her favorite band with her - it was fun, though. the opening act was collective soul, and i actually knew several of their songs, too - which i wasnt expecting. their drummer had really strange hair and he liked to shake his head around all the time - even in the slow songs. and the bass player with the goo goo dolls was really creepy. i didnt like his voice - speaking and singing. it was very cartoonish, and kind of evil sounding. not very goo goo doll-like. creepy man. he was barefoot. and really liked to slap his strings. i dont really know what that does. but his creepiness was entertaining, i must admit! it was a good concert.

the night before last was pretty interesting, too. i was just about to go to sleep and all the sudden i hear this tiny beep in the hall and i was like, "oh shoot - is that the fire alarm?" and meredith was like, "what?" and then it started getting louder and soon it was blaring in the hallway. ughhhh. 12:00. so we went outside. it was chilly.... and eventually we came back in and someone said the bathroom ceiling was leaking so we went to look and sure enough, it was. but not just any leak - it was pouring! and i live on the 3rd floor out of 4, so we wondered what the 4th floor looked like... haha.

well, we went up to the fourth floor (where all the football players live) and sure enough, a pipe had burst (we learned later that a guy was trying to do pullups on it... dumb jocks) and water was shooting out of it all the way to the back wall - like a fire hydrant or something! there was about 3 or 4 inches of water on the floor of the bathroom. one guy was like, "well, i'll go get my towel and we'll clean this up..." haha.

but yeah, that was what set off the alarm - it was hot water. all the firemen and police were up on the fourth floor, too - idk how they got rid of the water, but whatever they did, the alarm went off again at 1:45, and this time i was asleep. so we get out in the hall and the RA was like, no go back in your rooms - we're not evacuating this time - unless you want to. so we kept going cause it was really loud... but then we got outside and they told us to go back in our rooms. we did. it was realllly loud. still. in our rooms. how were we supposed to sleep in our rooms with this alarm going off? but it stopped in a couple minutes, luckily. and that was the end of our adventure.

oh, by the way, the ceiling is still leaking a little. there are wet spots all over the bathroom floor...
