So life's been extremely hectic lately with 6 midterms in the next two weeks! Plus this morning was pretty eventful. I awoke at 6 am to a faint but obnoxious, high-pitched beeping. I thought I was going crazy for a minute or two. I knew it couldn't be the buildings fire alarm because I have one in my room and it wasn't going off. Then I heard people walking up and down the hallway and I peeked out. Turns out, the fire alarm in one of the rooms on the far end of the girls hall was going off for no reason. Security was called and, when they couldn't figure out how to turn it off, ripped it out of the wall! I was so happy when it turned off. I had been up until 3 a.m. previous to that studying for the two midterms I had today. They went pretty well. French was easy and I'm expecting a fairly high mark on that. Religious Studies however I'm not so sure. The test was on Hinduism and its the first test we've had with our new teacher. Our last teacher specialized in Western Religions and we've now completed them. Hopefully all went well though, fingers-crossed! Considering how much studying I've been doing, I figured I earned a night off tonight so I went to the gym for a few hours with Kurt and Tiersa, watched a movie with some other people on the floor. Then Kevin came home and we rehearsed our set for open mic night. At 11 p.m. it's quiet hours in Rez  (Kurt had joined us by this point) so we went up to one of the music practice rooms that Kevin has a key to and jammed out, rehearsed some Christmas Carols, until 12:15 when Kevin made us come home because he needed sleep. My next midterm starts on Saturday so I'll knuckle down after classes tomorrow!
