Second time

De siste dagene har vi gått og ventet på brannalarmen. Lovaine (studenthyblene der vi bor) er berømte blant studenter for sine mange brannalarmer; jeg har truffet en som da hun hadde vært her 10 dager, hadde hun hatt 5 brannalarmer. Men, bortsett fra brannalarmen natten etter vi kom, har vi vært spart for dette. 

I dag kom den, dog. Den måtte tydeligvis vente til det hadde begynt å regne - sånn at det ble rimelig surt å stå ute og vente på at brannbilene skulle komme og løse saken. 

Nå håper vi det blir en stund til neste gang.

The past days we've been kind of waiting for the fire alarm. Lovaine (the dorms we're staying in) are famous here on campus for its many fire alarms; I've met someone who, when she had been here ten days, she'd had encountered five fire alarms. But, aside from the fire alarm the night we arrived, we've been spared so far. 

Today, however, it arrived. It apparently had to wait until it had started to rain - so that it was fairly annoying to stay out and wait for the fire trucks to arrive to solve the case. 

We're hoping that it will be long until next time.
