Fall break is on

It seems like most schools don't get a fall break, but we do. It lasts for all of 4 days (including the weekend). As I was walking back to the dorm after work tonight, Collegetown seemed more like a ghost town compared to a normal Friday night, as most people have already gone home or gone elsewhere fun for break. I, on the other hand, have opted to stay on campus like I have for the past 2 years and bum around. Actually I have work to do over break, which is good so I can be kept occupied with meaningful stuff to do.

I've always been hearing how people commit suicide on campus by jumping into the gorges, but I've never actually been around when it happened until this week. I guess it is pretty freaky when someone decides to call it quits on life and jump the bridge, especially when it happens in broad daylight and people actually saw it happen. And now I know it's not just a rumor...it actually happens.
