i always had this happening to our school in the back of my mind, but i never actually thought that it would. i don't think anyone did. and considering the type of year we've had, i'm not really completely surprised. how much does that say. a fucking machete...i mean, come on. this isn't real life. this is valpo...
now i understand what everyone means when they say that this can happen anywhere. now all i can think is how can this not happen everywhere.
one of the kids lives across the street from me, and the kid that brought the gun to school lives in my neighborhood too.
it's also good to know that all our class had to do was turn on the national news and find out what was going on because we weren't being told anything.
in so many ways, this day was just the last thing from being a normal day. i didn't even see my friends, and i couldn't. everything was just too wierd.
at least we can all put smiles on and pretend that we're all fine.
