Wow, Really? A Bomb Threat?

Seems like people these days are bored to do something or maybe they refused to take a midterm. >_>

After being tortured by my former professor during my math midterm, everything was going okay...but the midterm wasn't okay. -_-

Heading to Adv. Reading, we have a sub. Somehow we have a huge increase in subs. This sub, filling in for Ms. Rowley for a few weeks (who knows what happened to her), is pretty cool! Since class was cancelled on Tuesday, we had to make up what we're supposed to do today.

As the sub passed out our pop quiz, all of the sudden, the intercom turned on. And the whole class froze...

"Attention... attention... this is an order of evacuation. IVC has received a bomb threat. Evacuate the building this instant."

I'm like... "Holy... shit. You serious, right?"

"Leave your stuff here, class!" the sub said.

What? It's an evacuation order... you want US to leave our stuff in the classroom?? Hell no! I'm taking my stuff with me.

I grabbed my bag, which contained my laptop and personal stuff. But it was too late for me to grab my Adv reading books on my desk.

The whole campus was evacuating within minutes after the order of evacuation was set. I was separated from my class. So I ended up lost. But the sub wouldn't care, right?

I've been through several lockdowns, but not in college. And all of the lockdowns I've been through didn't cause the school to be closed. I wasn't sure of how IVC will get back to normal with a bomb threat that was deemed very serious and severe.

I started tweeting the news about it via text, I even sent the news to Imperial Valley Press and KSWT's twitter, just so they were "in the know".

As more news finally came, the school was officially closed. It was definetly too late to get my books. I wonder how will I get them back. At around 1 pm, everyone that evacuated were sent home. Students that were trying to get to IVC were sent back home. Children from the IVC preschool were being picked up by parents.

Once everyone started to get home, news crews came, and emergency authorities came to the school as well. I am HOPING they find a bomb.

I got news at around 5 pm. The school was finally clear and remained closed till tomorrow. Supposibly there was a suspicious package at the College Center that the bomb squad took care of. That, however, is not a bomb. Then, another suspicious package was reported at the old biology lab (room 403). That wasn't a bomb either.

Wow, waste of time, but to be honest, it was worth evacuating. It was for the sake of our lives as students in IVC. What if a real bomb went off and we never have gotten a warning? I had those kinds of scenarios in my head in my drive home. They can't seem to get away. Now IVC will be very careful on things, not just earthquake-wise, bomb-wise, too.

April is officially a "wtf" month...
