In Memoriam

Virginia Tech is not my university, but after hearing the news of what has happened there and watching the convocation honoring the 32 innocent people who were killed yesterday, I feel such a connection with all of the students there and such overwhelming sympathy for the families directly impacted by these senseless killings that I want to offer my prayers and sincere wishes for as smooth a recovery as is possible after such an awful tragedy. I am sure that many students throughout the nation feel this connection by the very fact that we, too, are students. As a student at a university, I cannot imagine dealing with an illogical and unreasonable event like the one that has suddenly transformed your campus from a safe, beautiful home away from home to a horrible crime scene. I am so sorry that anyone is capable of such an act.

To the students and faculty at Virginia Tech: Students all across the country are with you--in spirit if not in person--and I hope that this may offer some level of comfort. I pray that all of you are somehow able to find peace that surpasses all expectations, love that supports you as you grieve, and strength that perseveres you throughout this entire ordeal.

With Sincerest Honor and Respect,
One Student

My Apologies...

Hello everyone. I just want to write a quick note to apologize for not writing anything for a while. I have just got so much to do that I haven't had a chance to post...but I will have something soon, I promise! Until then, all I have time to say is this: There are only 19 days until graduation! Woooooo!
