UCF Sirens

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

So I posted a tweet yesterday about the UCF sirens, didnt know what they were, but I just got this email.

UCF will conduct tests of its new outdoor emergency siren system Thursday through Monday. The sirens are part of UCF’s ongoing preparations for a potential campus emergency and are one of several communications tools the university would use to provide critical information to students, faculty, staff and the public.

The sirens are located on parking garages B, D and H and on the Facilities & Safety complex on Libra Drive.

A variety of siren tests will be conducted from 1 to 6 p.m. Thursday, at 1 p.m. Friday, from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday. The tests will include a mix of tone sounds and “test” voice instructions. The siren tests may be audible inside some campus buildings and in some neighborhoods close to campus.

Las Vegas Casino Cruise

Monday, March 9th, 2009

First off a big congrats goes out to the UCF womens basketball team on thier CUSA championship and thier ticket to the big dance.  Good luck.

So now having been on all three casino cruises that are or have been at port Canaveral, they all suck.  Well, sterling wasn’t too bad but they are all quite boring unless you have a lot of money to burn and like gambling.  I don’t have either.  It was an incredibly rough night Saturday when we went.  I took Dramamine and I was a little sick.  Overall the boat is kind of cruddy, really small.  The one thing about sterling when it was there is that the actual boat was rather clean (compared to the others).  This was dirty and very small.  On top of that all the slot machines were very close together.

Me and Freddy sat up in the sports book all night and watched BBall, Soccer (Futbal) and boxing.  Sippin’ on G&T and playing “I’m On A Boat” on my phone for 3 hours.  It was fun, but only cause I was quite drunk.

Would not do it again, and I really can’t recommend it to anyone else.  You will most likely have a better time just going to a bar, especially if you are almost in Cocoa Beach and you can find a bar that loverlooks the ocean.
