Visits from two lots of emergency services in one day? Blimey...

Carrying on from the other day when I told you about the girl who collapsed in my lecture, we had another visit from the emergency services later on... from the fire brigade!

It was about 9.30pm; Lewis (that's my boyfriend, I can't remember if I mentioned his name in my last post) and I were enjoying eachother's company, all snuggled up together... then we got rudely interrupted by the fire alarm sounding! Eurgh, when you're half asleep it doesn't help either, it was so loud... haha. So anyway, off we all trundled down the stairs and we stood outside in the freezing cold for about half an hour... lovely! When the alarm initially went off, Ben (one of my flat-mates) was in his dressing gown, but he quickly got dressed again. I can't blame him really, I don't think I would have liked the embarrasment of being left out on the streets in my dressing gown. :P

So the fire brigade turned up after about 5 minutes and interrogated the top floor (where the smoke was coming from) and discovered that some silly person had obviously left their dinner in the microwave too long - consequently, it had caught fire. After about 20 minutes of smoke-tackling, they emerged with the remains of the microwave in their hands... a burnt-out, smelly black box. Considering we had to buy our own microwaves in here (the university didn't provide them for us) I hope it didn't cost them too much money! Somehow I think the culprit might be paying for the next one... :P

Fire accidents aside, Lewis and I had a lovely evening together, and my cooking was a success! Woohoooo :D I'm going back to Ashford this weekend too, which I'm really looking forward to! :D now I've just got to get through my 4 hours of lectures tomorrow... and my 8 and a half hour shift at work tonight >.< I work at Cineworld, by the way. I don't get the best pay in the world, but I get plenty of work to keep me afloat for the week, so I can't complain! The people who work here in the Luton branch are lovely too, which helps... even though I do miss my Cineworld Ashford friends a lot sometimes! :(

Right, I think it's time for me to go and make some lunch. Catch you guys later! :D
