Shootings at Virginia Tech

I just got this email from the chairperson of my department

All,

In case you haven't heard, there were shootings at Virginia Techtoday. They are currently reporting 22 students and faculty dead (including a shooter) and several injured. One person was killed inthe dorm and it appears the others were killed in the engineeringbuilding. Reports are sketchy. If you google "virginia tech" you'll find websites to the news...

Pact with Self

I made a new rule for myself this morning as I rode the bus to the school at which I teach. It's the no-carrying-work-home-in-the-evening rule. It is my rule and I shall love it. And I shall name it Squishy. Sorry.

I'm going to bed now.

I'm not much a talker though 'twould appear that I'm quite the prolific typer once I get going. But today won't be one of those 'get going days'. Why is it so hard for me to get focused? Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy. Today's not a good day. Unfocused.

*Sigh*

I think I need a change of scenery. I think he's wrong. I kinda hope that I'm wrong too. Is it just a self discipline problem? But that doesn't seem to match up with the rest of my me-ness. People think that I'm joking when I talk about this, but I'm quite serious. Unfortunately. And I feel like I'm going a little crazy.
