Don't worry, I shouldn't be alive today but I am.
UVU Buildings Evacuated After Natural Gas Leak
I happened to be across campus when the alarms started going off so I was left without my purse. After waiting outside for over an hour I had had enough and I snuck through an employee-only entrance in the back of the library, sprinted up 5 flights of stairs, grabbed my stuff, and ran back down without being noticed by the firemen. I did this without knowing what kind of emergency was going on since none of the emergency responders would tell us. I was fairly confident I would be okay since: a)firemen were standing around outside the buildings and b)the alarms had started in a building far away from my office.
Was this stupid on my part? Probably. As I was running up the stairs, skipping every other step, I started thinking to myself that I was going to be that one stupid casualty in some natural gas explosion or lethal chemical spill because I just had to get my purse.
When I got back outside I convinced myself that my throat was burning and I probably was going to die, but all those worries went away when I called Daniel and he laughed at me.
What was also awesome was when I found out they let everyone back in the building 1/2 hour later.
Oh well. At least I got my exercise for the day. And I got to go home early.

Haha I would have died from sprinting up the stairs, not the gas.
I hate it when you are stuck outside and they won't give you an explanation. I'm glad you're safe.
I wish I was there so I could make fun of you in person.
