Fire drills

I've always loved fire drills in school. Who wouldn't love being able to drop schoolwork to go outside and talk with your friends for a half an hour? I'll never forget the took time I took the ACT and the fire drill went off. It was so confusing. I was in the middle of the english portion when the bell rang. Nothing like that had ever happened before so the teacher just marked the time on the board and we picked up where we left off when we came back in.

On Wednesday we were twenty minutes into my Book of Mormon class when a fire drill went off. The drill lasted so long that we were never able to make it back to class. I had mixed feelings...happy because I didn't have to sit in class but stressed because I was going to miss the material I needed to know for our exam next week.

Fire drills are rare so I thought I wouldn't see one for another couple of months or so. How very wrong I was! On Friday I was sitting at work doing my daily duties (a little bored and anxious to get started on my weekend) when another fire drill went off!!!

EVERYONE evacuated the Wilkinson center (the Wilk is FULL of people). This time my emotions were far from mixed. I was feeling nothing but pure joy! For forty minutes I got to stand outside and talk to my friends and get paid for it

This is a picture of the firemen at the store. Unfortunately they are hidden in the shadows and are unable to be seen.

Today was my first day at my new job. I work at the BYU bookstore in the general book office. Basically I fill out orders for people who want to order a book, I put books on hold, send faxes, transfer calls, and place book orders. It's a lot different setting than my old job, Cafe Rio. I was very excited to start working at my new job but lately I've come down with a cold and by the time I needed to go to work I was feeling very under the weather. I felt like my voice and mind were at a different place while I was at my first day. Hopefully when I go back to work on Monday I'll be feeling much better :)

Perks to working at the Bookstore:

10% off all textbooks

20% discount off everything

Coupons

I get to rent out any of the books for free as long as I return them in selling condition

I've found out tons of cool stuff that I never even knew existed there

When I move out in a month it will be next door to my apartment

Its next to all of my classes

My friend Steinia works there so she comes and waves good-bye every day
