I'm Not Quite Sure What to Say Here
Apr. 20th, 2007 11:51 amI want to post something, but I'm feeling a little blah today. Or maybe that's because it's Friday and I should be doing something more productive than hanging out on LiveJournal all day. But I just don't feel like it.
ASUSU (that's Associated Students of Utah State University, just to clarify) is planning a vigil tonight for Virginia Tech. After my last post and after hearing about this all week and after my initial burst of anger toward what happened, I think I'm going to go. Maybe that's what's got me so blue today. Like I said before, I hate that this kind of stuff can happen, but it does happen and I don't think anyone deserved it, even though the shooter said that they did. These were just kids trying to go to school and get an education so they could have their own lives (at least, that's what I would assume they were doing at college -- I'm sorry, I'm not very coherent right now). To be honest I don't know anyone at VT, let alone anyone that was directly involved in the shootings, but it still makes me sad, especially since I'm about to graduate college myself. I'm not just blowing smoke when I say that I feel for those people in Virginia and I hate not being able to do anything to help them. Honestly, what can you do except pray for them and send them your best wishes?
That's just what I'm feeling right now and it's probably been building up all week and that's why I feel ... not sure what it is... blue, sad, depressed, icky... something like that. Maybe I'm just in mourning, but I can't really talk about it with anybody because I wasn't directly involved and don't know personally know anyone who was. If I tried to talk about it, people would just say that I'm being too sensitive and to quit watching the news reports. Maybe it's because everyone has their own lives to live and things to do, but it doesn't seem like very many people around me care.
I don't know if anyone from Virginia Tech will read this post, but you've been in my thoughts and prayers all week and you'll continue to be. I can't hardly imagine what you're going through, but I have been impressed by the unity and resolve you have shown and I applaud you for that. I wish there was more I could do for you. May God bless you always.
Love from,
