Well, I don't feel that I'm qualified to post much about this incident, but I do have oppinions about it. What have we as a society done or done wrong to the individuals that have done this kind of stuff, I realize that people may not know that the person is dangerous, but come on, there has to be SOME sort of indication that they are troubled and are in need of help. What can we do to help prevent this from happening more and more, because it sooms that is happening at an alarming rate, and this is the closest one to me by far, in December it was Omaha, and now in Dekalb, which is only about 3 hours from here, maybe that's why I'm so concerned with this one. When I first geard about it I had a major freak out session, because I saw Illinois University, and my cousin attends school in Illinois, but at another school, I knew this, but when I saw that, I did not take the .25 seconds it would have taken to put this together, I immediatly called my mom, and she reminded me that he's not in Dekalb, and it is the wrong school name, and while I've been somewhat able to calm down, at least about that, but for reason this shooting is hitting close to home or something, because I'm still worked up about it. I think we as a society need to figure out what and if we can do more to help prevent things like this from happening, and help the people that are so troubled that they carry something like this out. Like I said earlier, I don't think that a person can nessairly tell that another person is going to be this violent, but there has to be some sort of indication that the person needs help, a person just dosen't get up one morning, and decide to do something like this, at least I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so! Please know that this rant is not meant to take away any of the seriousness of the situation, or to make any less of an ordeal out of it, I truly am praying for the people affected by this tradigy! 5 dead, and 16+ injured, and then the gunman killed himself, this is horrible, horrible, horrible.

Snow, Snow, and more snow!!
We have about 7 inches and are still getting snowing, we are to get 10+ inches most likely 15 or so. We are stuck in the building today, I'm already board, and it's not yet 8. It's going to be a LONG day, I did rent a few movies yesterday, I think 4, but 2 were free, and I have them all for 5 days, so I think I'll be watching movies and resting, I don't feel that well, I had the jibbies this morning, NOT fun!! We went to D-town Sunday, and on our way back we went 25mph, no faster the roads were horrible, it had started to snow. Then we went again Monday and it was so foggy, we got so lost in Milan, we finally made it back safely, thank god. The drivers side winsheild wiper quit working between here and BG, so I pulled off there and tried to get it working, but I couldn't, so I got to get that fixed, I should probably take it to Cole, but we'll see!! That's about all the exictement that is going on here. I might make cookies later, I need to try and go to church today, it is Ash Wednesday, and a Holy Day of Obligation
