A source with the University Police Department has confirmed that a fire broke out in the Earth and Space Sciences building late Monday night.

I hope this isn’t anything serious. However, this reminded me of freshman year at Stony Brook, when I used to go up to the roof of ESS for a project for my Introduction to Astronomy class where we had to chart the position of the moon every week for two months or something like that. In retrospect, there was nothing stopping anyone from bringing a bunch of beer (or weed, but I don’t smoke) to the roof of the building, looking up at the stars and having a get-together up there. It seems kind of like a perfect thing for existentialist college students to do. If only I knew at 17 or 18 what I know now…

So basically, I hope nobody got trashed and decided to start a bonfire on the roof.
