The past, say...six times that it's rained, I've forgotten to bring an umbrella to school and I end up walking home in the rain, returning to my apartment soaked. Today, I knew it was supposed to rain at the end of the day, so I proudly packed my umbrella.

At about 6:00, a fireman casually came into studio and told us the fire alarm was going off and we needed to evacuate. I took the opportunity to peace out for the day. I intentionally left my umbrella on my desk for another rainy day since the promised rain had never come. When I got outside, rain! It actually started after I looked out the window from upstairs, and before I got to the front door! I would've gone back up to get my umbrella, but I couldn't go back up, with the "fire alarm" and all. I walked home anyway.

The casual fireman is a whole other story. There wasn't an actual audible alarm going off. So the fire station was alerted, the men came, and then the people in the building were clued in. Good thing it started raining.
