There are been a lot of deaths lately that I have been hearing of. Today I actually went to a funeral of a lady that I have known since I was little. But maybe just haven't seen death as other people have and we are finally getting hit hard with that fact. I was talking to my mom about someone that just died of breast cancer and she says that she has been hearing a lot more than ever about people dying of cancer and more specifically breast cancer. She said that when she was younger she never heard/barley heard of breast cancer. For my VIKES I am working at Supersibs! which is a place that sends care packages and special little letters to the siblings of cancer patients and you come to realize how much cancer is offecting out society because of how many packages we send out. Its really sad to think about but thats how life goes I guess... not to be negative. Oh this is kinda off topic but this is about a freak accident and I kinda got freaked out. There is this kid that goes to our school, he's a junior and his name is Matt Schulky. He was in Wisconsin skiing and he went off a jump and somehow slipped and he hit his head on a rock. He shattered his skull. He might of had some short of brain damage if he was not wearing a helmet or goggles because the rock hit right between the two. They put a metal plate in his head and he is recovering well. Sorry that was really random but I thought interesting to share.
About Fidel Castro.... I think that is really weird that he just all of a sudden retired but now I bet our government and many other countries are hoping that his brother will be changing the country. To me I don't think he will because usually family follows what has been set up already. I guess all we can do for right now is hope....
Harper. I heard if one girl who went to NIU who is in her senior year of college and does not want to go back and finish her last year because she is so freaked out. And now I have a feeling like anyone else that many people are going to try and stay home. I was originally planning on going to Harper or ISU. I think I'm going to end up going to Harper just because of money but the whole shooting crises wouldn't affect me. Like someone else said earlier.... it could happen anywhere.
