I have been told to go home, but I choose to stay here right now. I want to get out of Dekalb as soon as I can, because it is dead here. Right now it is just me and a few fraternity brothers that stayed. Just hanging out, drinking and listening to music. There's only so many nights of this I can take. I want normalcy, but know it's not going to happen anytime soon.
One of my friends told me he had a dream the night before about seeing people with buckshot wounds. I am very sad these unfortunate actually happened.
I don't want to go home. I have gone to 3 vigils in 2 nights. I am too close for comfort and also too few friends have talked to me and offered me condolences. Tonight's included the reverend Jessie Jackson.
Out of all the universities in the nation, it just has to be us. Why? I ask.
I do know that the service and the people on the scene of the crime get a 10 out of 10 from me. They truly did all they could do in an impossible situation.
I also have a new hero and its this guy:
NIU Police Chief Donald Grady
What a badass.
