so today during class, my english teacher announced that on wednesday, ohlone will hold a "weapons of mass destruction" drill.

okay.

first of all, the term "weapons of mass destruction" does not really instill any sense of calm in me. in fact, just hearing it makes me want to throw my arms up in the air and run wildly around the room in a blind panic. second, i have never heard of a "weapons of mass destruction drill." the teacher said he'd never heard of it either. he was reading off some flier the administrators had given him. apparently, there will be helicopters landing all over ohlone's parking lots and there'll also be a whole bunch of emergency vehicles all over the place. the drill won't interfere with any of the classes, but they just wanted to alert the students so none of us would be alarmed. okay...now...i don't think we'd have anything to be alarmed about if they hadn't decided to call this a WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION drill. they couldn't just call it a normal emergency/disaster drill or something. nooo... don't want to alarm the students. really, they might as well have called it the DIEDIEDIE!!! drill.

but you know, what really gets me is that they're doing this whole weapons of mass destruction drill at ohlone. OHLONE!! of all the places to hold a weapons of mass destruction drill, they're going to hold one at a dinky little community college that no one could possibly want to use their weapons of mass destruction against. there's nothing at ohlone! nothing!! i mean, you'd think if they were going to hold these weapons of mass destruction drills at colleges, they'd hold them at major universities like some of the uc campuses. but i really have never ever heard of a weapons of mass destruction drill. am i the only one? does everyone know about this except me making this whole blog sound really really stupid?
