I haven't finished processing this yet
I found out this morning that one of my english teachers from high school was hit by a car last night and died on scene. (news article found here: http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/erie/El...lls-pedestrian)
It hasn't sunk all the way in yet. I mean I admit I hadn't spoken with the man in about 4 years- he wasn't my favorite teacher but he was a good one. Everyone who had him liked him, no one who flunked one of his classes walked away blaming him for it. I'm not saying this because its poor form to speak ill of the dead but because its honestly true. The fact that he was killed because someone wasn't paying attention behind the wheel? I'm not sure what I feel. Angry, upset, and oddly numb I think. Probably less numb when it finishes sinking in that it actually happened.
