true story:

trayvon's cousin died, probably because the response was not fast, and because they ran him over on purpose, which is a thing that'll kill you. rip, little man. jesus, gang violence.

john campbell drew that, by the way. go see his other things if you haven't. they're about a sad feeling that makes you happy or a happy feeling that makes you sad, according to him. the new yorker just interviewed him as well, which was pretty funny.

off to study for international law test/read for the core class tonight. CAPE TOWN IN THREE DAYS. i can't wait to go running on a trail, maybe even a paved one. exciting. and possibly the beach, even if it is cold.
