Virginia Tech mass killing

Can't stop watching the coverage. Feeling raw, vulnerable. Why? I am a student now. A bit closer than Columbine (I was working then). We create distance as we can. How horrific this is, can't imagine the friends, the families.

One student here has relatives near Virginia Tech. One student in the class I taught tonight has a parent connected with the university. Other connections will emerge over time.

Nothing to do but watch the coverage. That, and pray for everyone affected.
