Snow D-Day

Didn't have to go in to work today. School was canceled. Why, you ask? Yawn. Why, "credible threat" of "terrorism," of course. Yesterday--Thursday--campus was swarmed by helicopters and heavily armed swat teams. They shut it down, yo, at noon and canceled class for the remainder of the week, lengthening our fall break by a day and a half.

See, we're at the heart of the GWOT. Luckily, they caught the "terrorist" Thursday night. I think he may have been playing video games. Turns out, funny story, it was a freshman. And his brilliant, secret plot was to send some threatening e-mails to a couple of deans (re: shutting down school during midterms) and then leave some paper towels on a dorm stove top burner. Our new school motto: "training a smarter class of terrorists." I wonder if he's connected to Obama somehow. I'm sure Sarah Baracuda is already hot on the trail.

One of your students, no doubt. But he did succeed in not having to take those pesky midterms, didn't he? Mission accomplished.

Luckily, not one of mine. And I haven't had a student arrested on drug, murder, and racketeering charges in almost a year (to the best of my knowledge).
