Skipped class. I was going to go late, but I called back my friend who's having a really hard time instead. Talked to her for a couple hours. Awful things have happened. I wish it would get better for her faster. The weight of death is unbearable yet she needs to do more than bear it, she needs to accel in school at the same time. I can only imagine the pain and the need to stay focused on something else, but I think it could break her. It makes my stress seem insignificant. It can always be worse, right...
