Dot: Almost Forgot

Hello, Dot again

I have new shits and perks to present you this week:

3. Rain
Even though I heard quite a rumor regarding the horror of the amount of snow in this area, I heard nothing about rain.

It was unbelievable (Californian perspective). The umbrella only covered the top half of my body; the rest just had to suffer. A pair rain boots are necessary if you don't want to spend your time drying your shoes with blow dryer. You have nothing you can do for your pants, though. Unless you have a loooonnnggg windbreaker or raincoat, your pants will be soaking wet and only thing you can do is wait for your body heat to dry it. The dilemma is whether you want to wear thin pants and freeze to death or thick pants and die waiting for it do dry. I recommend first method.

Surprisingly, people did not seem to mind - or just simply did not give anything - getting wet. Some just wore flipflops (which is perfect when you are walking on smooth surface) and hoodies. If you're like me and care greatly about keeping your body dry, grab a pair of rain boots and a large umbrella before visiting this area during this time of the year.

4. Fire alarm
Yesterday (Monday) around 5 AM, the fire alarm in my room went off out of blue. My roommates are I somewhat panicked at the beginning, but we soon realized that only our alarm was ringing even though there was no fire in our room (I don't know maybe I was being too smokin' hot).

The noise level of it was beyond annoying. If the regular house-use fire alarm is like poking, this one is like slapping. Man, that was loud. It was even more fantastic because I went to bed around 2-3 AM that day because I was being unproductive.

RA had to contact someone to rip that thing off the ceiling- which he did- and they are yet to replace it.

+ Just now, fire alarm went off again; however, this time the whole building was screaming it. Being a logical citizen, I abandoned this post and went outside. Of course, it was fire drill. I should've used elevator just to demonstrate the amount of care I give.

 I had great Monday.

5. Perks
Living near the downtown gives you accesses to different places. My peers and I went on exploring the area last weekend to celebrate the end of first exams.
Three words summary:
It was fun.

I want to say more about this but I have to run now so see y'all later.
