So, here is my official word/experience of the lockdown yesterday:

I didn't find out about it until 6, cause I was at work. And when we got the word, they were making it sound like someone was actually in Dancer with a gun. So, that was kind of freaky, but I wasn't too worked up because they weren't saying anyone was hurt, and that's like as far away from me as you can possibly get while still being on this campus. Then they started saying that it was just a potential threat, but we say cops taking 2 guys out of Rider (which is right next door)...and that was when things got really scary cause it felt like there was more going on than they were telling us.

Anyway, so I got back to my room, and found out what was really going on and started calling everyone that called me, and yeah. It ended up being kind of stupid, but I'm ok with that becaues with the way things are sometimes its worth it.

There were some other people that got really worried, but I was never more than minorly alarmed, and I'll tell you why: All the goddamn bomb threats! I'm pretty sure the ridiculous number of times someone threatened to blow up my high school has made a block in my brain that prevents me from getting worried about that kind of stuff. The lock down reminded me of that time when we had to go outside at noon, because someone wrote on a bathroom wall that the school was going to explode.

Seriously?

No.

So, the lockdown gave the campus a little excitement, but everything is totally back to normal today..and all is well in the kingdom.

But, now I'm super extra excited to come home!
