This morning at 4:45 our apartment was awoken to a loud beeping noise. My first thought was UGH my alarm. Then I realized it was too dark to be getting up. I put on my glasses and a jacket and made my way down the hall. The smell of smoke greeted me. Patrick was over the stove removing a pan. No one knew what was going on. The beeping stopped, the stove was turned off and we all went back to bed.
3 hours later we found out that someone (she shall remain nameless) was cooking rice and fell asleep. The burning rice was what woke us all up.
When I walked out the front door the police station was ready to have their roll call remembrance ceremony. Then our church bells rang from 8:50-10:00. I didn't hear them, I was already off to work. As I walked past the fire station on my way to work, there were firefighters in their dress outfits.
After work I walked home.
