works in mysterious ways

Over the weekend, someone at my school died in a car wreck, and his passenger was airlifted to Evansville to Deaconess Hospital. She's stable. The guy who died was thrown out of the car and drowned in a ditch - if he had landed face up he would have lived.

If you're wondering, no, I didn't know him.

But I did notice something that I'm putting here just to remember it a little more fully. I was in the nurse's office to check if it had been Amanda - the girl that dropped by my house a few times - was the girl in the wreck, but it was Amber with the same last name of her's that lived several towns over. There were these two girls who was talking to the nurse before me and I quote. "It's his own damm fault, what was he thinking?" and went from calm to bawling.

Plus, you think it would be a more low-key day at school, with a member of the student body dying this weekend, but everyone was as bouncy as ever.
