New topic, but still Guelph related. Susi had here drama club lock in on Thursday night, from 6 to 6. So naturally we were texting each other. Apparently she was going crazy around them. You can ask her I don't really remember, I've been trying to block out that night. Anyway, Around one in the morning I decided that I was tired and needed to got to sleep. But of course Susi was still texting me so it wasn't until around 2:30 that I finally managed to fall asleep. As I was falling asleep, I thought to myself. I thought Jo you have no classes tomorrow, You should sleep in and then wake up and by some hand soap. So I thought back to myself Jo you're right, I will. It was going really well too, until about 3:30 am when the fire alarm went off. It is not a nice noise to wake up to. I don't know about you guys, but when I wake up to a fire alarm i'm not exactly calm. I had to find my shoes and put them on and remember my key and wallet and a jacket because it was chilly. Normally, when a fire drill happens you just go outside for like 10 to 15 minutes while the fire department does their little check. However, when I opened my door, to exit my room, I noticed that the hallway seemed a little foggy. I was like oh crap an actual fire. Just to ease your minds, there was no fire. So I got outside with people filing out after me. I found my RA outside holding a fire extinguisher. This is the point I started texting Susi and well I won't say what said to Susi, but I'll give a brief overview. As it turns out a boy from one of the other residences had been in our building, thought it would be funny to set off a fire extinguisher, break some glass, and then pull the fire alarm. It was on my floor, I might add. When the cops and fire department showed up, you could tell they were pissed. Everyone knew who the culprit was, I mean I didn't, but everyone else did. You know how I said he lived in residences, well it turns out he had been kicked out. He was gonna get seriously fined and more I hope. The fireman said it was okay to go to our rooms. I don't know if any of you have accidentally inhaled fire extinguisher stuff, if not you're lucky because it is worse than smoke. The stuff from the fire extinguisher has this horrible bitter taste that is really hard to get rid of and it makes you cough real bad. The fire department didn't leave until around 4:30 because they had to clean up the glass and stuff. I know this because I wasn't able to fall asleep until around 5:30.
Around 9 o'clock I woke up to go find food and buy soap. Naturally, I didn't find food so I decided to walk to the mall for soap. As it turns out it's not just the campus that closes up, pretty much everything. So, I had to walk back empty handed. I still need soap.
Not much else has happened, so I guess I'll wrap up. Chiara, if you read this, look up chasing the sun by the wanted. Everyone else can too, I suppose, but you probably won't like it. They are a boy band. Yeah, so this is my last post, hoped you enjoyed it.

It was a good one. We should have gotten you home for Easter; sorry.
Shopper's Drug Mart is open.
It's better I don't go home for easter. I need to study.
What a baaad night. No food, no soap!! Awful, especially the food. Wish you were here. However, it is pretty dull here. Your mom has a baaad cold/flu. The Lorp is still in the laundry room. I do not know if she will make it, but she looks hopeful. As you may have noticed, I died some eggs, yeh, myself, no help. If you were here, it would not be dull, it would be a party!!May your exams go well.
Thanks. Wish I was there too. I would of helped with the eggs.
I bought soap for the first time in country a week ago.
A few things: Is it bad that after being attacked by a fox that chicken still looks way healthier than all the chickens in Senegal? Also, I agree Jo: fire extinguisher material tastes terrible.
Do the strange words they ask you to type in order to comment on blog posts usually discourage anyone else from commenting on posts?
Jo: Your postings are like a novel that you wish it would not end because it is so entertaining. At R.I.T. there have been so many false fire alarms (like yours) that the Fire department calls our Campus Security before they send a fire engine.
They have to come because we are at the hotel.
Noah-I have the words in front of me now because I am not signed in, but I feel that I can manage-I am posting this because they seem to want me to type the words before I can sign in.
And now, no words.
Jo, I think I speak for all of us readers when I type that we'd also very much enjoy and appreciate any posts from you, not just missives from school. Break a leg on the exams! Looking forward to seeing you this summer.
Yes on Suzi's post. Home from Central Europe.
Good luck with those exams, Jo.
