Movie Night was all the Rage
I went to the Sigma Tau Delta (English Honors Society) movie night tonight at school and we ended up having the most fun. Sadly, the party was comprised of only both Whitneys, Amanda, Teresa, Shawn, Michelle (I think that's the right name, but I'm not sure because I don't know her) and myself and Shawn left early, missing all the fun.
There we were, snuggled up under the blankets watching Gwyneth Paltrow play Emma when Teresa came running into the room to tell us there were fire trucks down the street. We calmly go back to watching the movie as she heads outside to find out what's going on. Moments later, she re-enters to tell us that Martin Hall is being evacuated. We all run outside to find out what's going on.
Outside, we see four fire trucks lined on Wesleyan St. along with a few police cars. No campus security guards in sight. Martin Hall is all ablaze with lights and the fire alarms continue to go off. Looking through the windows, we can see smoke filling the area. Still no one knows what's going on.
By this time, Whitney F. has contacted one of the newspaper photographers to come over so she can put the incident in the paper. Whitney spent much of her time talking with people to find out more information for the article.
Eventually we learned that there wasn't a fire at all. Someone was goofing off upstairs playing with a fire extinguisher. That caused all the smoke in the building.
No fire. I have to say that I am kind of disappointed because of the build up and then the climax of the story falls flat of expectations. Oh well. That's the way the world works.
When we went back inside to finish the movie, we called Shawn to let him know about all the fun he missed. Shawn, aren't you sorry you left?
Oh, in case you were wondering, campus security finally showed up about 15 minutes later. Something should be done about their reaction time. What if Martin Hall really had caught on fire? Hopefully the on duty security officers will be reprimanded, but I seriously doubt anything will be done.
