I just learned of the death of my friend Evan. He started at Cornell the same semester I did, and he was due to graduate the same semester. We weren't especially close, but we were in the same social circles and I saw him often, and he was always a good friend.

My life sucks right now. But a lot of people's lives suck right now. And all I can think of is my own problems. That's really selfish of me. I'm going to go have a run or something to restore my energy, and then I'm going to quit whining about this stuff. On that note, I'm going to be leaving Livejournal for a while.
