I know right?

Yes. I am still alive.

I know right?

I really didn't think I would make it this far.

To Friday.

Beside the fact that I have indeed been working very hard to stay alive during the day on campus, I feel like I don't deserve the congratulations.

I haven't been able to participate in as many night missions as I would like, and that's the games are won or lost. In the night missions you earn advantages for your team.

I could be a better human.

And tomorrow I will be. I'm going to the night mission.

It could be suicide, but I don't care, I have to fight for the human race. Be on offense, instead of defense.

I've also decided that if I get caught, I will not become a zombie. I will consider myself dead, maimed beyond repair. I've just fought as a human for too long, cheered for them, with them, and helped them. I just couldn't do it.

But I won't  be caught, so that won't be problem.

Wish me luck everybody.

Guess what?

I'm still alive.

Yep, I survived another day of the Zombie Apocalypse.

Today was harder. More zombies. Lots of classes.

I lost my best friend and roommate to the Zombie Horde. R.I.P. Mike...

Not sure how long I can keep this up, the human numbers are dwindling.

But tomorrow is a new day.

That means more running.

I'm Baaaack!

I survived Zombie Apocalypse Day 2

Today was way easy

I got dropped off after work right at the building of my next class,

After work there was a campus-wide safe zone (humans are safe, zombies can't touch them) in order for the humans to make it to the Colosseum games at the Quad

I participated in the Games, I almost won too

Then class again at a building right next to the Quad

Then after class another campus-wide safe zone because some club was bringing guns on campus and they didn't want anybody getting confused and shot

So I went home

Easy day to survive

Tomorrow however, is a different story

Just so you know...

I survived day 1

It was no easy task

From the first step I took on campus I was on the run

My strategy was stealth and speed, using the buildings (safe zones) to travel across campus, or as I call it "building hopping"

I had a few scares, but luckily never got tagged

I feel pretty good about surviving day one and all except...

Tomorrow is another day

Wish me luck

They're here....THEY'RE COMING!!!

I'm gonna need lots of ammo...
I wish I could run faster...I should have done more cardio to prepare...
Campus is going to be a crazy mess...
Where's my map? I need to map out my course...
I need to find a posse for protection...
Sweating bullets...white knuckles clutching my Nerf blaster...
Are they around this corner?...Or this corner?...
Why is my next class so far away?!
I hear them.
Running behind me.
I must survive.
THEY'RE COMING



Yes folks, this week is Humans vs. Zombies here at Utah State. If you don't know what it is, its basically a huge game of tag between "Humans" and "Zombies". The game starts out with just a few zombies and hundreds of humans. You go through your normal day with classes and whatnot, only every time you step out of a building on campus...you're free game. The humans can use Nerf guns and sock balls to "stun" the Zombies for 15 minutes. All the Zombie has to do it tag you, and you become a member of the "Zombie Horde", furiously feasting on human flesh in order to not die from starvation. In addition to regular activities on campus, the Humans also participate in special "missions" each night in order to earn prizes valuable to the game. Needless to say, this is the most epic game of tag you've ever seen or heard of. And I'm a part of it. Yes, last week I registered and I'm starting out as a Human. Only problem is I still don't have my arsenal, my darts and weapons, so my roommate Mike and I are going to buy everything tonight after midnight (cause you know, todays Sunday...I know, its not something we should do every week...) After that we're going up to campus to map out our courses between classes. I need to get a map...We have to be ready, because starting at 8 am tomorrow, the war begins...
