Day 2: 8/30/2011

It's already day two of my little project! It's going so fast! But here we go, the second post in the series.

Today was the first day of my senior year at Dakota State. Woke up at 6am to be able to drive all the way to Madison for my 8am Wireless Communications class. I've got a couple of interesting teachers. One that has quite an accent and another that is a little old fashioned. Other than that everything is going to be really fun this year. Finally stuff is getting real and this is the kind of information I want to be learning.

After a short choir meeting and the start of my Windows Administration class I drove home to Sioux Falls and got a haircut! This time I got it sooner rather than later, so I wouldn't have to deal with it being WAY to long.

I ended the night by grilling a couple brats and writing my personal website from scratch. It's very About.me-ish but without the the extra little things they add to promote themselves. Katie took the picture when we were down in Vermillion the last time and I thought it would make a nice background. You can check it out at DevonSchreiner.com.

Day #2 down, only the rest of my life to go.

A Long, Zombieless Weekend

This weekend was very nice. I got to wish my mom a surprise Happy Birthday(which was very fun) and I got to spend a wonderful Valentine's Day with my even more wonderful girlfriend. But even better, is I did not see one zombie. From Friday until today (Monday) I did not see one zombie. Thank You!

But now I am back on the campus of DSU and again in zombie territory. Once again, I am confined to my room unless I want to take the risk of venturing outside. What was once a nice break from my room at the TC has become a very deadly adventure.

I still have not heard the carnage report as of yet of this weekend. Hopefully there are plenty of humans left to keep me sane in the coming week. I can only imagine the swarms of zombies already coming back to campus after this weekend to feed upon the rest of the people that are still alive.

Peace Is But A Memory

Days after Zombie Infection: 3

It is getting harder and harder every minute as humans are being turned into zombies all the time now. It is not an uncommon sight at all to see a horde of zombies ambushing a group of humans or a couple zombies chasing someone down. It is hard for me to say, but we are outnumbered.

I do not think the humans have lost this battle though. We may be outnumbered but we are far from defeated. We will fight these zombies with everything we've got until we can't fight no more.

Today there was a small lull in the action. From sometime around 10am to about 2pm there was no killing. No hunting, no feeding and no ambushing. No one has any idea where this came from but it was a nice distraction from reality. It was a time of peace where everyone could walk freely without fear. But that time ended far to soon.

The killing, fighting, hunting, and feeding have all started again.... We will persevere.

Encounters with the Last Kind

Days after Zombie Infection: 2

I had my first encounter last night. Well I'm not sure if you can call it an encounter, we did not interact at all. It was the first time I had seen a zombie.

I was walking down the street last night and someone started walking towards me a couple blocks down. I couldn't tell if it was a human or zombie so just to be on the safe side, I went to the opposite side of the street and continued to walk. As I got closer I realized it was in fact a zombie.

This zombie was walking fast and looked like it was on some sort of a mission. Probably on a feeding mission. But either way, it was preoccupied and did not even notice me. My heart was racing but I made it home safely without another incident.

I still have not given up. The rest of the survivors have not yet either. We will survive.

Day After Z-Day: I'm Still Alive

Days after Zombie Infection: 1

I have been inside for most of the time since the first zombie was spotted. It's safer inside. I am though finding that maybe I did not ready myself sufficiently. I am going to have to venture out soon for supplies, water, food, ramen, oreos and the like.

Fortunately, it appears that everything still functions properly, electricity, water, internet, phone services. We will be in good shape until those things start failing I think. As long as I can get on Facebook and Twitter I at least won't go insane, and I think there are a lot of other survivors with me on that one.

I am currently listening to Dave Matthews Band, he tends to keep me happy in times like this when I feel all alone. Until 'Gravedigger' comes on. Then I get depressed for a song or so....

My Maverick is slowly becoming my best friend. I don't leave home without it anymore. I think that some people are not taking this infestation serious enough. Some don't have guns at all and talk about "If I saw a zombie I wouldn't run, I'm not going out of my way to stay safe, it's not worth it." That is not a good attitude to have this early on. What happens when your best friend turns? Are you just going to give up? I'm not. You can count on that.
