Could be worse. I've learned that if our school ever really caught fire, half of us would die screaming, thinking it was just another badly-timed drill. Those who did escape wouldn't do so by exiting quietly and calmly; they'd survive by vaulting over everyone else, shoving people out of the way, and bolting for the doors.

...Yeah, our fire drills don't go very well. At least the weather is nice.

Sorry to hear that :/

No, I guess in our case everyone would think it's another test and therefore be rather chilled about it O.o

Yeah... but now it got cold ._.

In my old college dormitory there was one room which had no fire alarm in it. I went through an entire fire drill without realizing there was one. A bit of an oversight on someone's part.

'Too slow' depends on a lot of factors. As long as you take the drills seriously you shouldn't be too slow for a real emergency.
