SEE THAT RANT ABOUT CHANGING ALL THE TIME.
Apparently it dropped 62% in ratings, so you might not have been the only one. Not sure how the ratings compared to its normal viewership, though.
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I had a pony, I think I'd want one of these too. Maybe not in that color.

Nope, but maybe teacher's handle catastrophe the same way everywhere. :)
I just thought that it was funny that it was happening as both of us were changing classes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I remember where I was when Reagan was shot, Challenger exploded, Rabin was shot, and 9/11.
Reagan yes (only vaguely), Pope no, Lennon no, Challenger yes, Rabin yes, Sadat no. Stuff that happened when I was in college and beyond, yeah.
The Loma Prieta quake in 1989 was the first earthquake I remember knowing about. Like, I'd heard of such things, but I'd never seen the outcome live on television. That and Pan Am 103 were the same year, right? I turned 14 that year.
I do remember afterwards all the adults saying that this would be our "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" moment, but I have to say that 9/11 sort of blew that right out of the water.
Um, yeah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love the idea of fighting to defend someone's right to be annoying anonymously.

It's all in the hands of the krav people now. They have my letter saying I understand the training risks, and my doctor's letter about what the risks are.
And, dear lord, after watching my instructor group train yesterday, I'd bloody well better be fully reinstated.
Unrelatedly, co-worker is sighing like it's the end of the world, rubbing her face heavily and muttering "Oh, god, oh god." Sometimes she walks away from her cube and regards it with horror from afar.
Yet, not going to ask. She's been doing this for a couple weeks now.

For a couple of weeks?
In that case, it's either something catastrophic and terrible, or it's just the way she reacts to, um, email.
