The past 24 hours of my life have been interesting, at least to me.

A classmate of mine was shot and killed during his spring break down in Florida. He was mugged for $7. When the assailant decided $7 wasn't enough, he pegged my classmate between the eyes. Within a day, my classmate was dead, 37 school days short of graduation.

Yesterday, I ran to Point State Park from the Three Rivers Rowing Association boathouse for crew. Afterwards, some genius decided to insult our coach, our team, and our sport, before being quitting the team and threatening our coach. I can't say that I'm mad. I'm actually happy that this girl left. One day, she had to "leave crew early" to "go to work." When I left after the workout was over, I saw my teammate in Burger King. All I have to say is, Good Riddence.

I was accepted to Carnegie Mellon University, specifically the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Also, I got a letter from the Westinghouse Science Honors Institute telling me that I didn't do great on a test I had taken two months ago.
