Fire Alarms, Lockdowns, and Senior Quotes

November 19, 2014 was a historic day for Righetti High School. 

Fire alarm got pulled literally right after first period. WORST TIMING EVER. Like if you're going to pull the fire alarm, do it five minutes after the next class starts so teachers can take attendance and not be flustered like today. You are bad at timing and I hope you get yourself right because  if you can't even break the rules right, good luck with the rest of your life. 

Senior quotes due today!

And let's move to the lockdown! Liz and I were in Mrs. Hunter's room when the bells rang ten minutes earlier. Then we were released because it "wasn't a real lockdown" which was a lie since we walked to the 100 block and were shuffled into the cafeteria. Everyone was on their twitters and snapchats! Social media made this thing boom and everyone saw videos, voiced their opinions, and made jokes about it all. Through the windows we could see the abundance of officials and officers talking to principals and walking in groups. The kids inside were even interviewing one another. We were there until 1:55pm and we had to be almost escorted out to the one available exit. Outside I found my brother and agreed to take Elizabeth and her brother home so we had to wait in front of the school for Samuel and he was still in a classroom. My practice got cancelled and tutoring, too, so Elizabeth and I could go to the water polo game. We drove down Foster to pick up Samuel who was coming back from the Yoyo. There were so many law enforcement personnel, some firefighters, a helicopter, very casual. So it's all over the Internet and everyone is so opinionated, it makes me very frustrated because there isn't going to be a solution to everything. It was a lot in one day, why it all happened, I don't know. HELLO. How can you do this to yourself? To your school? Parents of these students, what the heck? What makes you fight someone in general, let alone on campus in front of everyone? You are the kind of people that give this school a bad reputation and ruin a lot of things for the other students, like me and my friends or kids who are just trying to make it though high school. I think that this whole thing is going to cause tension on campus and in the community. I am watching Freedom Writers in ASB and it's so weird to kind of see the connections, a few here and there. I'm really disappointed and annoyed about this entire situation, and I hope it all blows over soon.
