Catastrophy and the Cure

So obviously today's big news story is that some graduate student at virgina tech decided to shoot something like 32 people beforing ending his own life, in what was the single largest shooting spree in American history outside of a war setting. I don't really know what to say about it. It's certainly a horrific thought that 32 of my peers were shot for no apparent reason other than one man's pain and loathing. I also feel bad for the shooter. Maybe if we all decided to show a little more love to other people something like this can be adverted. I am definetly not saying this was anyway justified, but I do feel that these types of shootings are, to a certain extent, preventable. I suppose once we learn the hows and whys things will become clearer.

Part of me is also happier to be alive. I suppose it does sort of show that life isn't something to be taken for granted, and that, no matter how my next test turns out, I will still be alive.

I woke up this morning with a bit of a fever and totally out of energy. Hopefully a good nights sleep tonight helps me feel better on the morrow.

Apparently my house's basement has a bit of water seeping into the basement from all the rain in the past day or two. Certainly harsh weather we had there. Hopefully things will get warmer soon and not as cold and damp. I feel like I'm living in Ireland with all this rain and cold.
