It's a bit unnerving to have something like this happen so close to home. Not that I'm saying it's a good thing to have it happen elsewhere.

The only reason I wasn't stuck in school for the lock-down was because my class was cancelled due to my class pissing off the teacher. My sister was working at the hospital, but she had left just before 1:30 (she felt terrible because she didn't get to help anyone, but relieved since she thinks that she probably would have been useless). My other sister was stuck at Cove Highschool for either an hour or too extra, but no big deal. I was a bit worried for my parents since they were on post, and I couldn't call them since they'd left their cell phone behind. They were completely fine.


So far, I don't know anyone that's been injurred, but I want to offer something. I just don't know what. I couldn't donate blood, and I cannot offer prayers. I suppose I'll just hope that their lives can return to some sort of normalcy.
