It's Been An Early Morning...

This morning Rich and I were woken out of a dead sleep...well Rich was anyway. I got up at 4:30 because I had to use the bathroom and then I couldn't fall back asleep. I was almost back asleep when, at 5:00 there is an instant, gushing water sound. It sounded like there was water just pouring down the outside of our bedroom wall, only it wasn't outside...it was coming from next door. We were both pretty awake after a minute or so and we both thought, that's the sprinkler system.
While we were trying to figure out what was going on, the fire alarms started going off. Now these aren't your normal fire alarms like you have in your house...no these are like the ones you find in schools. We even have one of those really loud red boxes right outside our bedroom door and a bell that goes off outside. So as soon as those start going Rich and I get dressed and head outside. So we're standing outside for a minute or so and I say, "look at all the water poring off the porch of the apartment next door to ours!" Oddly enough the guy standing next to us was the guy that lived there. He said that it wasn't his because the water was pouring down his sliding door, so he thought it was someone above him.
After a little longer I noticed that there wasn't even the sound of firetrucks. I told Rich, "good thing this isn't a real fire, because it's sure taking the fire department a long time to get here!" A few minutes later the fire department did show up complete with oxygen tanks and axes. We immediately thought, someone's door is going to be bashed in. (Luckily no one's door was actually bashed in.)
It turns out that, each apartment has a sprinkler outside on their porch as well as sprinklers inside. The sprinkler outside on our neighbors porch had gone off. The firemen were really confused because sprinklers are supposed to do that, they don't go bad or get set off accidentally...they should only go off for a reason. So they had to replace the sprinkler before we were allowed back inside. They fixed the sprinkler, but I noticed they were still trying to figure it out while we all went back inside.
We ended up standing outside for about an hour in total. Luckily it wasn't raining like it's supposed to today...
So that was our morning. I'm completely awake now and I can tell it's going to be a loooong day. Now what am I going to do for 3 and a half hours until class starts?
