Last night I was woken up at 3:15 by a screaming fire alarm. The alarm is unbearable which forces people out of the building faster. I didn't even mind leaving the warm but excruciatingly loud building to stand outside. Everyone was wide awake, first because of the sound, and second because of the cold air.
The first time we had the fire drill I completely freaked out because the sound isn't like any fire bell I've ever heard before. I somehow ended up sitting on my roommates lap covering my ears and squeezing my eyes shut. Thank goodness we had had a previous drill, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized the drill and who knows how I would have freaked out at 3 in the morning.
