My roommate, and a large group of people from the wing walked into the room about an hour ago and asked if they could all have a word with me. I was thinking to myself, "What in the world could I have done to piss off all of these people?" It turns out that my roommate wants to room with another guy in the hall, so they are all initiating a five-way roommate switch. I am going to be rooming with a guy named Kalvin whom I've never met. I'll be staying in the same place, though. I'm not sure if this is good yet. All I know is that Kalvin is quiet and likes anime at least to some degree. *shrugs* Sounds alright so far.
A friend of mine named Alex walked into the dorm to hang out with one of the other guys from the hall and her eyes had heavy bags under them, like she had been crying. I stopped her and asked her what was up, and she told me that her dad had had a seizure as part of a complication with a brain tumor earlier this evening. She was really shaken up. Her dad is recovering, but has been placed under some pretty heavy drugs. This is a relapse for him.
My friend Steve from two doors down just got back from giving blood downstairs. He blacked out within moments of having his blood taken. He said that his body "seized." Alex began to cry.
