FIRE!!

So I pull into the apartment complex after work, and as I'm getting out of my car I notice something a little weird. A guy runs past my car to a car a couple spots down, reaches into it, throws something out and then gets in and drives away. All of this he does with an incredible sense of urgency. I think to myself "whatev" and continue to my building. I hear a siren in the background, getting louder... and then I notice a distinct burning smell coming from the building I keep advancing towards.

Oh great.

I walk up the stairs anyway, and run into a couple guys who tell me it's coming from the third floor (right above me). Once I get up that close, it's pretty obvious where it's coming from. As I'm standing there, debating on a course of action, a bunch of firemen/women rush past me. By "rush" I mean clank slowly up the stairs carrying a lot of heavy shit. So what do I do? I let myself into my apartment. In retrospect, that may not have been such a great idea. But at least the whole building didn't burn, taking my measly I'm-only-here-for-two-months belongings with it.

All in all, the past few minutes have been a lot more interesting than the entire first day of my internship. But more about that later- going to work out now!
