Speaking of shootings, my school (Cal State Fullerton) was put on lock down last night after suspects in a jewelry store shooting in Moreno Valley led police on a high speed pursuit right to my school. They caught three of the suspects, but at least one of them escaped onto campus, and the campus was on lockdown from about 4 p.m. until at least 11 p.m. last night. Luckily, I was running late for school and missed all the excitement.

Could you imagine being trapped in a classroom for 7 hours, not even being able to go to the bathroom? The students on campus were reporting that those that needed to use the restroom had to use a trash can.

Moral of this story: sometimes procrastination pays off...doubly so for me, in this case.
