i was not looking forward to class today. it's one thing to absorb the news of a friend's death when you are alone. you don't have to worry about crying in front of people. but it's another thing to have to go to school and face other people that are feeling the same grief as you.

emotions were running high and some people seemed to be dealing with it better then others. but everyone was feeling it.

i just don't understand why it was Krista. i mean, you don't want to wish this on anyone, but as someone said, she was the one person who was going somewhere in her life. she spent the last two summers working in a clinic in kenya. she was going to become a doctor. she would have been the type of person who would have won some kind of award for humanitarian work.

i found out details of how the accident happened. a 17-yr old kid driving a pickup truck was passing traffic on a busy two lane street. he passed on a solid yellow line and hit krista's car head on. his truck was totalled. her car was unrecognizable.

in an instant.

the visitation is tomorrow afternoon. i'm going to that with a few people from the program. the funeral is on saturday. i think our entire third year class is going.
