One more week of class??!! It feels like it just flew by! I get a week of break time, then I am back at school studying Intermediate French 1, followed by the Age of Revolution. Should be a fun summer, except that Noah will be in Kentucky for his internship. Road trip anyone?

the Media

Why can't the media just simply report the news? I understand that we are all dying to know what happened at Virginia Tech and how someone could do such a horrible crime, but honestly, do we have to bother people like we do? I love how they always ask 'what was your reaction'? I think we all know. I want to know who was killed, what their story was, how someone could slip through the cracks and commit such a thing? But mostly, I want to know why the media keeps showing the platform of those who bring attention to themselves and ideas through such horrible acts. Do not encourage other shooters. It is one thing to talk about his mental illness, but another to display his pictures and writings.

Famed Author Dies

Kurt Vonnegut died. How sad. I read Slaughterhouse Five and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Despite being very odd, it was a great read.
