It's the End of the World as we know it!

Does it seem like the end of the world is coming?

I thought so too.

In the past week, we have had three hurricanes, several fires all over Utah, the fires in Montana reached the 1 million acres burned milestone (unfortunately including the beautiful Glacier National Park), Disney's Marvel may be leaving their relationship with Netflix, and I had to run the mile on Tuesday.

Now, the mile may not seem like a big deal, and I tried to not make it a big deal, but when the world is on fire and you are breathing in all the fire crap in the air, it sure makes it easy to be light headed, have a hard time breathing, sneeze a lot, and generally feel like crap. Oh well, I stopped feeling like fainting at some point in the day. Did I mention that I'm also very out of shape?

Speaking of the world being on fire, Snow College is doing a routine fire-alarm test for every single building on campus, despite the fact that I'm absolutely positive that our fire alarms in Snow Halls not only work, but are also SUPER sensitive. Every time a fire alarm goes off in our building, I can hear it. Particularly when my roommate accidentally burned some eggs and set our alarm off just after I had woken up. This morning in particular was nice because I am already not feeling well (I possibly have a cold), and I just wanted to sit and eat for the small amount of time before I needed to go to the Library to work on some homework before class, and I had to be hearded outside in shorts and a t-shirt with no shoes (it was 62 degrees outside this morning) and walk across the road with my unfortunately sensitive feet wailing in protest.

Well friends, I'm off to class! I hope I make it up the stairs despite my protesting body.
