(no subject)
So I haven't been feeling quite emotionally well because I discovered that someone I graduated with passed away Saturday morning. Her name was Cassie Spence, and she was one of the best people the world had to offer. She passed sometime between 9-10 A.M. unexpectedly in her sleep. I didn't find out until the following morning when her boyfriend posted a Myspace bulletin (using her account) to inform everyone he and her family decided to keep her page up and running in her memory. I almost fell out of my chair when I read that.
Even though she and I weren't the closest of friends, we were still friends, nonetheless. Clark and I had a long talk about it today after class (and briefly before), I talked to Marie for a few minutes about it before class as well, and I am feeling a hell of a lot better. I'm still quite shocked, but I haven't cried yet. Trust me, I feel horrible enough about that, but Clark and my friend Becky (and Marie) all assured me it's okay not to (at this moment) because the tears will come when they come (just like all the other stages of grief/mourning). They were all very helpful, especially Clark (but that's only because he and I actually talked about it). I know Marie would have been just as helpful in her own way, but she had just a few minutes to get to Journalism, just like I had a few minutes to get to Poetry.
I was hoping to stop by Marie's office this afternoon after class because she has office hours because I have some questions about the OUR TIMES, but she emailed me back last night saying the same time on Thursday will be better. I poked my head in her office this morning before we both had to take off for our 11:00 class to confirm. When she asked how everything was going, I informed her of the news. Despite the brief talk, it was still very helpful. I'm sure we'll talk about it some more on Thursday. She's quite the good ear. Oh yeah, and so is Clark (who's one of the best listeners you could ever come across).
I promised Clark a Monty Python "painting" this afternoon (we're both OBSESSED with Monty Python), but I didn't get around to it while at school. I posted it on my Myspace blog for him to see. The thought of it made me giggle, but while I was putting it together, I started to laugh. Finally, when I reached the finished product, the mere sight of it hurt my sides from laughing so hard. You'll only understand if you're familiar with Monty Python's Flying Circus. But alas, here 'tis.
It's to read horizontally.
I'm now officially obsessed with "Everybody's Changing" by Keane. I must have listened to it 5486754354564+1.5 times in the past 48 hours.
