Who else is clever enough to make my Sandy claws outfit?

Wednesday night...well Thursday morning really, our apartment complex decided to have a surprise fire drill at 4 am. 4 am!! Who in their right mind would make students jump out of bed at that time of morning and go stand outside until the drill is over? I can understand them scheduling it for a time when lots of students are at home, maybe like 10 or 11 pm, but by 4 am everyone is asleep and following the fire drill would mean hoping out of bed in pajamas, my hair sticking out every direction possible, and wandering down to the street totally blind (i had forgotten my glasses at home and wouldn't have time to put in my contacts). Kids could have tests and midterms the next morning for all they know. No one in my apartment decided to leave b/c we could see it was a drill and not a real fire, but I still wasn't happy at having that blasted alarm blaring when I only had a few more hours to sleep.

Today I made a quick trip to LACMA to see these Egyptian reliefs and Roman sculptures that I have to write an essay on. I would have liked to stay and wander the museum to check out all the various galleries since I've never been there and it looked pretty awesome, but I was there with a girl from ADPi who had a bunch of homework to do and was motioning for us to go home as soon as possible. It's on my list of places to go back to though. I'm going to the sorority retreat tomorrow so I'll be gone for a few days in case any of you were wondering where I've disappeared to. They're having the emmys at The Shrine (about half a block from my apartment) so it's going to be a zoo here. I just hope they don't have the walkway to my apartment roped off for the evening.
