Lock Down

I presented at this really ghetto school today. Like as ghetto as it gets. The first class was fine, only 35 minutes, like 10 kids, smooth sailing. The next class was another story. About 55 kids, in a huge art room, I literally had to yell. But luckily I just showed them Michael Jordan and Kanye advertisements and they were entertained. So I'm finishing up, packing up my stuff and then the art teacher asks me if I could stay for the afternoon and present in a few more classes. Naturally, I say no and go on my merry way. A few hours later I'm watching Ellen when suddenly the show gets interrupted by a breaking news announcement. "School on lock down after shooting." Hmmm how bout that I think. And then I find out this happened at the school I was at just a few hours previous. Holy schnikees. I start to get excited I'm not sure why. I think it might be because I just cheated death. I could have been at the school at the very moment this happened. Well, I hear a little more about the story and there was a shooting at the house across the street from the school and they thought the suspects were going to go to the school, thus the reason the school went on lock down. Still though, pretty crazy. Turns out the students had to sit under their desks with the lights off until 4:00 p.m. when they were dismissed. Talk about my hell, I can't even imagine if I would have had to sit at that school all day long under a desk with all of those rowdy students. I probably would have become the shooter. Joking. But seriously. The teacher even told me that many of her students act as if they "eat crack for breakfast." I just laughed awkwardly when she said this because I didn't know if it was a joke or not. But anywho, it was just another day at the office I suppose.
