What's finals week without a party?

Another 3 am rude awakening early this morning. This time, it was a drunk woman, or maybe 2 screaming hysterically at someone else. She was so drunk and hysterical it was impossible to understand what the heck she was upset about. But with THAT kind of hysteria in her voice, I'm guessing someone tried to move in on her man or something similar to that. This has been finals week for the college kids. I'm thinking it started out with an innocent "Hell, yes! School's out for summer!" party, and degraded from there. Anyway, everyone is sleeping with thier windows open because it's so nice out, and that means everyone could hear this disaster unfolding. Someone flashed their outside light on - that slowed things down for about 1 second while the confused drunk was blinded temporarily. I heard doors slam, I heard people trying to get these girls off the deck they were fighting on (thank goodness! What if one had pushed the other off?). Finially my next door neighbor goes out onto her deck and (her voice carries really well, and we could all definately understand what she was saying) yells "Hey! Do we need to call the police? What the F--- is going on?" That had the desired effect of shutting the party down within moments. Doors slammed. A car started and squealed away, hopefully driven by a more sober person than the girl that was yelling. Everyone settles down and tries to go back to sleep.

What this whole episode really made me wonder was this...since we could hear this insane fighting so clearly in the night air, do my neighbors hear me snore?
