The fire drill (17/01/2008)

Today is another boring school day. But at the end of school, the fire drill came......
When the alarm rang, all of us packed our bags and rushed out the classroom with them. But upon seeing others coming out without bags, we threw our bags back into the classroom and hurried to the nearest staircase. At the staircase, it was pretty jammed as there were too many people in the staircase due to the amount of people using it. We walked down slowly in order to prevent any accidents on the stairs. Soon, we reached our destination, the school soccer field. Then, we were directed to a place to settle down. Next, we were ordered to sit down in a single file in our register number. It was one in the afternoon at that moment. Thus it was very hot! My hair was burning at that moment. Even the synthetic grass in the field was hot! Soon we were bored as there was nothing to do but to sit in the field. So we played games like throwing the black things found in the field at each other. We had much fun playing. Soon the upper secondary students starts to leave the field, showing the sign that we can leave. We lest the field and went back to class to get our bags and leave.
I think this fire drill is pretty important even though many people think that it is not. It lets us know how to react when there is a fire. I sure do hope that there will be more fire drills for us so that we can be more used to the escape routes.
