Well today was a normal day Until 9. That's when all four schools in our town were put into a lock down.

The reason for the lock down? There was a 911 call with a bomb threat! OMFG A BOMB THREAT IN OUR SCHOOL!? I'm in the tech room at the time, so we shut off the lights and turn off the monitors and go into one of the back rooms for about 10 minutes. Then we were told that we could go wherever we wanted, but only in the room that you were in. If you had to go to the bathroom you had to be escorted.

So as I said before I was in the tech room, the class and I took advantage of the time to play games on the internet (hell yes Sonic rocks!) We also talked about who might have called it in and who may have planted one if there was one. a few of the guys were paranoid and thought that their cars would get searched, but they didn't.

So about and hour and a half passed and we were given the all clear, we missed 4th period and went strait to 5th or first lunch. I noticed a Channel 3 suv by the road so I guess I have to watch the news tonight.

Turns out that the call was a hoax, I don't know if there are any suspects. My dad thinks that it was someone who wanted to get out of school maybe because of a test, WHO KNOWS? I'll find out on the news at 11 and probobly post my findings either tonight or tomorrow.

We had two bomb threats a little while ago in the same day, all we did was exit the school for about 10min and then go back in, I don't think they were taken that seriusly, then again I like in New Brunswick, Canada!

I have never had a lockdown, actually, I've gone to private school pretty much all my life until HS, now im in public, but i'm at a well......geekish school. It's cool, but its reputation precedes it as being full of geeks, which isn't true. But, what is true is that 90% of the people there either do good in school, or want are getting better. You have smart dudes, just not ones that have the whole.....err,, napoleon dynamite composition.

Pulling fire alarms seemed to be the new cool thing at my school, they got pulled at least once a day until the school got cameras and the kind of fire alarmsa that spray ink on your hand when you pull them so they know who did it.

we have the inked ones and cameras to boot too, but those damn russian kids kept of pulling them anyways, all because they had a test, they delayed it for about a week

we had a stabing once, in winter in the back, so the cops were collecting blood samples in the snow when one of those goth/emo or whatever kid walking with his head down and goth/emo music booming, just went right through the area with the little blood spots and the cops got sooooooo pissed they thought it was him and he was trying to destroy evidence or something

OMG that sucks, but really, being that oblivious can be hazardous to your health. Even if you are listening to music, you should at least know where you are going.

LOL, being oblivious sorta was hazardous to his health! :?
