Today has been a very sombering day. We learned in homeroom that a senior from ed's, Alex McCann, died in his sleep last night. It put a very depressing mood on the whole day, and consequently it was one of those "sit back and ponder" type of days. Several people are in shock, a few who are dear friends of mine. It's one of those lousy things that you can't really do anything about. You can say, "I'm sorry," but that doesn't even begin to cover it.
Sudden death like this is really pretty scary. It reminds us that people can just disappear on us without warning. Which is depressing really. And it's not surprising those close to him are in shock, as no one really saw it coming.
The interesting thing about this all is that a lot of people just met him yesterday at the girl-guy dialogue at St. Ed's. Sort of an amazing coincidence that about 25 people who never knew him before yesterday met him. Took pictures. And before these pictures are even developed, he's gone. Makes you wonder. Coincedence or fate. Such a fine line between the two.
Then I hung out tonight with Katey and Brita. That was fun. But also sort of one of those "sit around and discuss" type things. Which are always very productive and interesting, especially as I never see them, save for my Qdoba Friday's.
Another intersting anecdote of the day is the accident I was delayed by. Left school at 3:25 and got home at 4:05. Please mind you, my trip usually takes seven minutes. But I enjoyed the tune of sandstorm (which I aptly re-named "snowstorm" in my head. I know, I'm a tool) during the wait, and made some texts, and whatnot.
OKay I"m having pain spazms so I'm going to go now.
