so today i was supposed to start my academic year with linear algebra in the math emporium at 1.30 and calculus at 3.30... but if you watched the news, you realized that it obviously did not happen. The crazed lunatic on campus, Morva caused all classes to be canceled and all of us to be on "lock down".
a lock down is actually a funny concept on a college campus, although we were supposed to stay in our rooms with our doors locked and no leave unless we had to pee or were having an emergency, no one listened, except maybe Phil. lol. i, being a so called rebel, left my room at around 12, because of course i had to eat, and didnt come back to my till it was dark. so much for being safe. :)
had this happened back at Robinson, we truly would not have been able to leave the school other than to go home. when the DC sniper John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvowent around shooting people in freshman year, we on a lock down. we werent allowed to eat outside, we werent allowed to go outside for gym and we were rushed on to our buses.
now thats a lock down. what we had was a joke. a statement that wasnt even enforced. an attempt to show the world that we are all "safe" and that nothing would happen to us. when Malvo could have attacked any of us in a heatbeat.
