Senselessness

My class and final were canceled tonight due to a bomb threat on the U of M campus. 8 buildings were evacuated and all classes/meetings were canceled for the remainder of the day. While my classroom building wasn't affected, it is near the campus mall which students were also told to steer clear of. I also park directly across the street from 2 of the buildings that were evacuated.

I was about to e-mail my professor to tell her I wasn't comfortable heading over there when she e-mailed us to let us know that she was canceling class. I certainly feel under prepared for the test so I suppose that it is a good thing that I now have an extra week to prepare. However, relief is not on the forefront right now. I am truly shaken by this and am equally disgusted with whoever was involved in it, since it appears that nothing has been found in the 4 hours they have been searching. In the past 2 days, 10 different states have had to deal with veiled bomb threats, mostly in schools...from elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities, my school being the latest victim. It is all just so senseless. I'm just surprised by how shaken I am.
