Let me start by saying, ow.
Ow, ow, ow.
It doesn't hurt my ears at the moment, but in the dead of the night, when you sleep head beside the window so the light can help wake you up in the morning, there are a few things that can easily wreck your beauty sleep. You'd think "well, the garbage truck just outside would do it" but strangely not.
Helicopters.
At least once a day one of them buzzes low over my school, a deafening thrumming sound that I could mistake for a motorcycle driving inside my room.
But why so often? I know the economy is in a tough spot and things could get worse, but I'm near Camp David, which last I recalled was not a place for congressmen to meet at regularly or retreat two and from. And no, it's not a sound I'm used to either. This is new- not even last semester did it happen, just this one. Are things so bad people are retreating to use Camp David as a meeting place? I could be wrong and maybe it's normal to meet there... but obviously not too normal or I'd have noticed it some time in the past three and a half years. And what's the other point they frequently fly to?
Why is it too much to fly at a reasonable height and not shake people's rooms?
I mean, sure we're college students and we do that with the bass now and again, but at least we can turn that off to sleep or work...
