Sad

Every student at St. Eds received an email from the Dean this afternoon notifying us of a sophomore found dead in his room this morning, from an "alcohol-related death." It's only the third day of school.

Not that being the third day or being the 87th day makes it any different, but it's weird. I wonder how campus is going to be tomorrow.

I also think it's interesting how in the email it makes a point of saying that the death is alcohol-related, as opposed to just saying, you know, the body of so and so was found, please remember his family, etc in your prayers. Which it did, but then also threw in the whole alcohol thing. You think they do that deliberately as some kind of warning to students or something? I guess when someone dies, it's as good a time as any.
