Funny Little Stories

I've had some funny little things happen over the past week... Here are two of them:

On thursday we had a huge snow storm, and at 1:30 in the morning the fire alarm went off in our dorm. I thought it was my alarm at first and then I heard my RA yelling at everyone who was sleeping to get out of the dorm. My roommate and I quickly threw on our boots and coats and ran through our smokey dorm right outside where there was a mob of people in their pajamas, covered in white. Turns out some guys were making pizza and didn't take the cardboard out from underneath it, and on top of that, left the popcorn in the microwave for 5 minutes. Good job guys. 

On sunday night I was taking a shower and shaving my long over due legs, when I of course cut my ankle. There was a little gasp of pain and then surprise as quite a bit of blood started showing up, but nothing too terrible. I proceeded to get out of the shower (leaving my foot in it so as not to get blood on our bathroom floor) and asked my roommate to get a band aid for me. When my RA found out I was bleeding, she hurried into the bathroom with the first aid kit. I assured her that all I needed was a bigger band aid to cover it up and it should be fine. She, however, said we had to make sure the (now slow) trickle of blood completely stopped bleeding before we put anything on it. So I stood there in my towel for fifteen minutes as she used one gauze pad after another. Fifteen minutes turned into thirty and I now sat on a chair in our bathroom in a towel as the same procedure occurred. She wasn't sure what to do because my cut would not stop bleeding, so she asked for another RA and then even had a thought of calling campus safety (all the while my roommate and I were telling her that she should just hold one gauze pad there for a couple of minutes and it would be fine). Finally my cut did stop bleeding and I was able to put my band aid on. As my very well- meaning RA left our room, my roommate and I broke out into laughter because of the huge ordeal my little shaving incident had made.
