So the other day I awoke to the beeping sound of a smoke detector. It was like 7:00 and my first class was not until 1:00 so I was like I am just going back to sleep. So I went to sleep for about 15 more minutes and then I woke up again. This same thing happened for about the next hours, and I was so frustrated!!! Finally I decided to go and investigate, keep in mind that I am exhausted and still have a bit of that morning delusional feeling. So as I went outside my room, the noise got a bit louder, so I walked further and found that the noise was coming from upstairs. When I got to the top of the stairs, I discovered that it was coming from my roommate Scott's room. I was like are you kidding me!, and stood outside of his door and listened to see if he was in there because if he was, there was no way that I would just walk in.
For those of you who do not know anything about Scott, he is an offensive linemen for the football team, and I have talked to him like twice the whole time I have lived here, and that has been just about 2 1/2 weeks!
So anyways, I listened to his door for like 5 mins and he must have left his tv on or something because there were noises coming from his room. So I was like, oh, well, I'm not going in there, and went back downstairs to go back to sleep. about 3 seconds after I layed down, I got the brilliant idea to see if his cars was here! So I looked out the window and his car was gone, so I went back up to his room and still listened for a while, then I got up the courage to go in, I knocked of course, (i blame still being so cautious, on still having the morning delusional...ness, because he clearly was not here) then I walked in. When I walked in, the noise was definitely coming from his room, I sounded like the same noise that comes from a smoke alarm, so I automatically thought that it was the smoke alarm. So I got a chair and took the battery out of the smoke alarm. After I did that, the noise was still going and I could not figure out how that could be, the smoke alarm was in one hand, and the battery was in the other. I was so confused! ( I once again blame the morning delusionalness because usually I am a very clever person haha.) So once I came to the realization that the noise would not possibly be coming from the smoke alarm, I was like, this is ridiculous! I am not going to go through all of his stuff so I can find this blasted noise! Then I saw it in an open drawer, it was a carbon monoxide alarm that was making all the noise! So I took the batteries out and the noise finally stopped!
I almost just left the room when I realized that the alarm had to have gone off for some reason and now that I unplugged the alarm, Scott would now have no warning if his room had carbon Monoxide in it. So I did not fancy the idea that Scott could possibly die in the night and it would be my fault because I unplugged the alarm... yeah, I did not want to be responsible for killing someone just because I wanted some more sleep haha. About 10 mins later Scott walked in so I explained everything and he just laughed... and all was well, except that I never was able to go back to sleep!
