blank

There is just enough power in me capable of combating my speechlessness with a few, subconscious gestures on the keyboard, so we’ll see what happens.

I discovered that the German professor who was killed was the one who encouraged me to pursue my interest in the language and culture. He was glad I had a greater desire than the simple requirement-filling motive. It took me doing a search, but I realized that I was originally signed up for that very German course and session this semester - a fact long forgotten - but had dropped it in order to cater to a lighter workload. I remember that he told me he looked forward to me being in his class this upcoming fall, my deferred selection for the class.

I cannot read what I just wrote without losing every shred of strength in my body. I’m going to be falling apart.

Some queer happenstance additionally prompted me to take my camera to class today, an infrequent but occasional habit. The day was otherwise beautiful.

    We are at a loss for words I can’t imagine what you are feeling right now. I am sick to my stomach after reading this. I have been praying for you as well as the injured and killed students and their families. Grandma emailed us to tell us that you were safe.

    You’ve been in our thoughts all day again today. I pray that you receive strength now that reality is setting in.
