you write beautifully even when under emotional duress. ♥ like I've said a million times, I'm glad you're okay and that your friends and professors are okay. I know it seems like you'll never stop being scared, but I promise that you will. I know it isn't useful to say now, but you will. I have been there (uh obviously not as serious, but far too many earthquakes and two major house-ruining floods) and while it may not fade for a while, while it may always be in the very back of your head, you will learn from it and just like the aftershocks, it'll slowly go away. promise.
