In the middle of the night, I awoke to a siren blaring in my ear drums. The deafening alarm echoed throughout the apartment. I had heard it before. Instead of panicking or following suit, I made my way into the living room and sat on the couch, where the noise was more bearable. For 10 minutes I sat there as I became conditioned to the pounding noises after springing out of bed enraged. It was 3 a.m. and it was the second time in a week that I had been awoken by a false alarm.
