Another shooting at Virginia Tech.  It's the day before finals begin, known as Reading Day, so there's no classes.  Just studying.  I had almost finished a take-home final and needed to go in today to check my work with a book in our department's reading room and turn my test in.  I was going to do this in the afternoon and I was going to park in the Colosseum parking lot so my walk wasn't as long or as cold when I got lunch.  Waffle changed my plans though.  My roommate had his girlfriend over this morning and they were cooking bacon!  Oh sweet, sweet bacon.  He woke me up by whining and begging and pleading to go into the den and mooch bacon off my roommate.  OKAY, I said, FINE. I was tired and it wasn't the first time he threw himself against my door because one of my roommates was cooking something delicious.  So I woke up, took him outside, and then finished what I had to do.  I left my apartment at about 10:30, and decided against parking in the Colosseum lot on a whim.  I finished up my final, turned it in, got food, and walked the LOOOONG walk back to my car.  I ended up leaving campus at about 11:50 and at 12:30, a police officer was murdered in the Colosseum lot. :|  Then later, someone was murdered in the area where I actually did park my car and that person's car was stolen.  If I hadn't woken up early because Waffle wanted bacon, I could be dead.
