Okay so to set up my story, I'd like to give a rundown of how Friday afternoon was SUPPOSED to go... 1:30- My freakishly overcrowded A4 comes in, we discuss current events, take a few notes
2:30- I release about half the class because their in band or drill team
3:00- Pep Rally
3:30- We all leave the pep rally sufficiently pepped and ready for the weekend This is how Friday afternoon ACTUALLY went... 1:30- My freakishly over crowded A4 comes in, we discuss current events but I stop every 2 minutes to tell someone to be quiet, I email the football coach and a couple parents, and write a d-hall 2:30- I begin to open my mouth to release the band and drill team kids when an announcement comes on over the intercom "Please do not release any band, cheerleaders, or drill team until further notice." I think to myself "damn it, half this class needs to leave." But the show must go on so we begin to take notes. 2:35- Another announcement comes over the intercom. I think its going to be my saving grace. No, it says, "teachers, please check the hallways and bring ANY student into your classroom." Now, I start to think "hmm, this is strange. I wonder what's going on." 2:40- Fire alarm goes off. Announcement: "Teachers and students, we're evacuating the building at this time. Please, stay with your class and go out the nearest exit." 2:45- Parking lot barricaded. Several police cars show up. 2:45-2:55- We stand outside. Large group of teenagers with nothing to do. It begins to rain, lightning, and thunder. We get confirmation: bomb threat. 2:55- Fight between two girls breaks out. Takes four of us to break it up. 3:00-3:20- We stand some more in the rain. 3:20- Building is cleared. We go inside. Take notes for ten minutes. 3:30- Bell rings and I praise Jesus for the end of the day. I'm really hoping this is not an indication as to how the rest of the year is going to go. |
