The Failure of the Great Southern California ShakeOut

So, I actually didn't hear anyone say anything interesting or funny, but I just thought that I should write about my experience during the Great Southern California ShakeOut.

[While at NACS in the UCI Student Center]

*ding ding ding*

Random voice from overhead: This is just a friendly reminder to participate in the Great Southern California Shakeout. Drop and cover at 10am, and hold that position for a few minutes, then proceed to your daily activities. [he said something to that effect]

Girl in NACS: I'm not going to do that. Are you? *talking to a friend, but I couldn't understand what the friend said*

So, 10am finally rolled along. I actually ducked and covered under the table I was sitting at in NACS. I looked around the room to see if anyone was ducking and covering. No one did anything. Finally, I saw this girl who had just stood up from the floor. I thought that she participated in the ShakeOut and I got pretty amused. It turns out, she was unplugging her laptop and retrieving the plug from under the table.


That is all.
