Bomb Threat

To everyone who has never experienced the thrill of a bomb threat, allow me to educate you about the sensation. First, you get out of your car and begin walking to your classroom (just like you do every day.) you notice that there is a large group of people standing outside the building. You think that is rather strange but as you get closer grange becomes stranger and stranger becomes all out weird. There is a group of about 50 students on one area of the campus and you can see other clusters of students around the campus. No one really knows what is going on but you can all hear the alarms going off inside the building and can see police swarming about the grounds. After every one is standing long enough to get rather chilly a police officer rides around on his motor bike and tells every one that they can either leave or meet at the soccer fields. You opt for the soccer fields wondering what could be going on. As you pass through the campus grounds you hear various rumors about fire alarms, pranks, and drills, but the most common rumor is that of a bomb threat. After about another half hour of standing around the soccer fields watching energetic college students, do what else, play soccer, and try to comfort those who are worried or looking for someone. Finally the school authorities come out and inform you that there will be no classes that day.
The next day every thing is normal. But the day after that you arrive at school and all the entrances are blocked off. Oh dear, another bomb threat. You would think we were the white house or something...but isn't it good to know that we have an all powerful God that takes care of us!

Wow, I never had a bomb thread happen when I was there. Too bad.

I'm in South Korea currently, by the way. Should be here till somewhere around the 11th of April, and have almost no access to the internet in the meantime.

Have fun at school!

Actually from what I heard it was the Child Development Center that they threatened to bomb and it was over a custody case or something. We God Monday off and Wednesday until 10:00. It made life interesting.:)
