Just pee in a cup.

Yesterday morning I was awaken 2-3 times by sirens before I finally decided to get up 10 minutes before normal. They were distant, but they kept coming back. I found out at school that a 17 year old boy had been shot by police following an attempted burglary. The craziness seemed to subside when today during 1st period we had a lock down. They stated over the intercom that there was a situation near Elim (the church next to the high school). The class connected to mine had a roaming teacher in it and he couldn't lock his outside door. I had him move his class into my room and I locked the door into that room. When Mr. Cronin came in he had half finished his Venti Mocha. We all sat quietly in the class for over an hour from that point in time. I was checking out newsgroups on email to see what was happening. The first message 3 minutes after the announcement only said no students on cell phones. I was trying to find out how serious it was and if there was a possibility of danger on campus. 30 minutes later there was a message that was vague and said we were on continued lock down.
It was no surprise when kids then started asking to go to the bathroom. I e-mailed the office to find out what the protocol was for that. I was really concerned about Mr. Cronin with the large amount of coffee in his belly. By then the other classroom's outside door had been lock and we were joking about sending the boys in there to pee in a cup. According to a student in my class later that day 2 boys in their class did just that. They sneaked over behind the teacher's desk and did their business. It's a good thing they didn't have to go number 2. We were finally contacted by email that we could send kids to the bath room with an escort by 2's or 3's. After the second group was back the intercom blasted that the situation was resolved. I told the kids left that they better get down to the bathroom fast. We were given a 10 minute break, and their was a line to the bathrooms the whole time. The rest of the day was fairly uneventful.
