overdue…
long overdue.. this entry, that is… i haven’t updated since i’ve been back to school, because unlike the mood expressed in my previous entry, i am very much not bored now… between classes, practices, meetings, and friends, i just haven’t had much time.. which in a way is a good thing–b/c then, obviously, i won’t be bored… it also means i don’t really have time to think about anything, which is a *very* good thing, b/c when i start to think…. oi vey…so anyway what has been going on? ….
about three weeks ago there was a girl murdered in her off-campus apartment.. except “off-campus” is really a subjective term … her apartment building is literally right next to my “on-campus” dorm.. literally– as in you can see her building from the floor lounge as well as kate’s room, and my other friend ron’s room… its scary to think that something like that can happen so close… i didn’t know the girl, but i know other people that live in her building.. i just kept thinking, “what if it had been one of them?”…. you really don’t know what to think in that kind of situation… you just keep hoping it’ll disappear.. but its not like thats the only one.. last spring there was a guy that was murdered in his frat house… two murders in 8 months…damn thats scary
then earlier this week (sunday night) we had another scare when a sophomore that lives in the east wing of my dorm (i live in the west) committed suicide.. for a little while after it happened, people were saying that they weren’t sure if it was a suicide or another homicide… i just couldn’t stop shaking all night… again, you never think that something like that can happen so close… what really got to me was that earlier in the very same night, i was talkin to carlini online, tellin her what a busy day i was gonna have on monday–monday’s the day i have the most classes and no lunch break– and just after i got done relaying all this to her she said to me (direct quote) “don’t kill urself”… after we found out what happened to that kid, that quote just kept playing itself over and over in my mind… i swear if i hadn’t been with kate, ron, dave, and my RA athar at the time, i would’ve had a nervous breakdown… which would have been very not good….
is the madness over yet??
