Summary Judging in the Rain
"What's wrong with my voice?"
But anyway, so with about 20 minutes left of class, the fire alarm goes off during Civ Pro (that's right, Friday morning, 8:30 AM Civ Pro with only about 40% attendance and of those only 1/3 had done the reading because they did not have a brief due at the same time). Since I was on the hot seat at the time with a sore throat and a hoarse voice, I can't say I object.
Of note, when the alarm first started going off, it sounded in the distance. When Prof. Civ. Pro paused to figure out what to do, co-blogger Tom Fletcher remarked to the entire class, "It's not in this room." Before he got to the period at the end of that remark, the alarm in the room began to blare. Fletcher and his iBook were the first out the door.
I'd also like to note the rain and the fact that this is the 7th fire alarm I've experienced since moving to Berkeley. If you didn't think they were fun before...

He actually started up again after the alarm?? Did anyone come back?
You have to understand that this was a Friday morning class, so by its very nature those attending are (let's just say) eager to learn. Combine this with the fact that a brief was due from 2 out of the 3 mods in the class (not mine), and you have an even larger selection factor. Therefore, yes, nearly everyone went back, ready to type on the laptop.
