Day 4

Cross country was killer today.  We ran further than I ever have (4k?) on FLAT ground this time, and then did hill sprints on a root-filled, rocky, steep hill. But it was fun, I guess :P

I've developed a habit of typing things out in the "edit HTML" section of blogger - for non-bloggers, that's the type where you have to edit the < b r / > and the < i > and whatnot for things to go italicized or bolded. I just find it's easier, and sort of fun.

I've always wished I was a pro-coder, and could hack stuff by reading this alien computer language... maybe this is just me settling with the next best thing :)

Hostage and Humiliation

I have two things to say about the past week.

One, is that 3 schools in my town were kept in lockdown until 7 o'clock.  There was a "brandishing of a firearm".  I feel so bad for the little kindergartens who had to stay in school until 7!  They aren't even used to a FULL day of school!

It didn't make me feel safe, what with all the rumors of a marital dispute/hostage situation, a sniper in someone's uncles backyard, and children trapped indoors.

Apparently, the parents were all waiting all around the school.  Waiting for their children to be returned.  It sounds so terrible!  If I was a parent, I would be devastated.
