A lot has happened in the last two weeks, and I\u2019ve been really busy\u2026 trying to stay busy. We finally ran out of food, I honestly thought we would run out the first week so I guess that\u2019s good that it lasted that long. I still have a little bit of food from before all this happened, just some pantry shelf stable items so I don\u2019t have to worry about keeping anything cold. Some of the students here are trying to find food by foraging in the forest. I think I\u2019ll join them soon, to make myself useful instead of wandering around looking for things to do. Apparently we have metal crabs now? Not sure what\u2019s going on with that but I hope we can figure out what to do about it cause they\u2019re messing with the electrical wires which isn\u2019t great. I\u2019ve seen some people around campus making weapons out of sticks and stuff. I heard there was some kind of metal mushroom growing in the forest so maybe I could use it to make a good weapon? It\u2019s just a thought, I haven\u2019t actually seen it yet. Don\u2019t think anyone has gotten close enough to really take a look at all the things that have changed in the forest since everything is out to get us. I know I\u2019m kinda just rambling at this point. I think I\u2019m gonna go try and explore the forest a little bit, maybe take some notes on the things that have changed. Someone\u2019s gotta record this stuff. Might as well start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 16th, The Day It Happened 1-5 pm: I\u2019m in Lab 2 working on my art project for my screen-printing class with my friends.
