Fire Drill

We had a fire drill at school today. It definitely one-upped American fire drills...haha. The classrooms here are on the third floor of the building. But the building is also the entire school complex...serving as the dorm residence/dining hall/school library/a reception desk/multiple computer labs/a TV room/laundry/offices for the staff here as well as other places to sit and hang our or do homework. AKA it is a pretty extensive building. So when the fire drill went off this morning, my class filed out and made our way into the little plaza at the end of our road (our building is basically at the dead end of a sidewalk..I'll have to take a picture of it for you to fully explain)....but not before we passed a firefighter on each floor, standing guard by the stairs to make sure everyone was going outside and not back to their rooms or somewhere, and all the staff standing on the stairs and in the main lobby, shuffling us outside. When we got to the plaza, they had us get into groups of ten people, so they could count us easily, and all the teachers, kitchen staff, and cleaning ladies etc...had their own place to go. Interesting.
