Matthew died on July 12, 2007 in the afternoon. He was 19 years old. I wasn't legally supposed to know about him. He didn't know me. He had been hospitalized for mutliple stab wounds in vital organs from a run-in with some gang members in Oakland. He had many infections, and the flesh on his lower back rotted from his laying in a bed for weeks. He was in the hospital for about two months before he died. He had a brother named Garret. His family visited him normally and were thankful for the nurses' care.
If I could say one thing to him, I would recite a prayer from Les Miserables: "Take my hand and lead me to salvation/Take my love, for love is everlasting/And remember the truth that once was spoken/To love another person is to see the face of God."
It's an odd thing to love someone you've never met, but I guess I'm particularly good at it, what with Erik and all. ttyl!

Summer Homework Update
Ok it's time for a summer homework update.
I've finished all my bio homework. Yay!!!! I also read Strunk & White. That means I have the following left to do.
Two internships
Two classes
One essay
Identify 60 terms
530 pages
I've also got homework in my ROP class and Nutrition class. For ROP, I have to keep a journal about my internship and write a page entry every week. For nutrition, I have to read roughly 690 pages and various projects involving keeping track of energy expenditure and intake. I've already read 326 pages of my nutrition book, so in all I have 856 pages left to read.
I got my driver's license on July 6. yay for me.
I have 44 days left. I don't know how this is going to work out. We leave for vacation on the 26. I'd like to have the APUSH homework done by then. My nutrition class will be over by then as well. I hope I'm on schedule.

Do you need a defibrillator in your office?
I can buy a $10 stethoscope at Staples. There is something very wrong with the world.
I can't concentrate
I don't want to go to the beach with my dad tomorrow. I want to hang out with my friends, but everyone has plans already. I miss everyone at school who graduated and I'll never see again. Junior year is going to be hell.
