The fire alarm

Today the fire alarm when off. We had to go outside for about fifteen minutes. I was coming back from lunch when I saw a friend that told me the fire alarm was on. I was mad because I did not have any thime to waste. I wanted to go inside but I could not. I waiting in the back for a while until I could not stand it anymore. It was freezing outside. My hands and face was so cold. Plus I had heels on which made it even worse because my feet was hurting. My friend and I went inside of the building while the alarm was on and waited until it when off. We was so happy that we went inside because it was so much warming in the dorm than it was outside. We stayed at the door because we could not go up to the while the alarm was on. If we did go up we probably would have gotten a documentation put in our file. Most of the time when we have to go outside because of the alarm, nothing goes on. We do not have a fire or anything. That really gets on my nerves having to sit outside in the cold while nothing is going on. Some people do not go outside when the alarm goes off. They just stay in there rooms because they know from past experiences that there is never a fire. Sometimes I wish I could do the same thing. Then again I don't want to stay in my room and get burned up. I would rather stay outside if it is a real fire. They should announce that it is a fire so we can know what to do at times like this.
