Hey... I am a student at UWEC (Eau Claire, WI) and there has been some pretty weird stuff going on here recently. Last Sunday night a student died from Meningitis. Usually it takes a few days from the first signs of symptoms until death but this guy died in about 10 hours from the time of his first symptoms. It really shook up the campus. His name is Sean (just so you know). Well, this is the second meningitis related death on campus this year. So I left on Monday morning for our Concert Choir tour and found out on Tuesday that a student at UW-Madison and a student at UW-Whitewater died on Monday from Meningitis. Again, a little weird. Well, I'm back at home now and just found out yesterday that there was a student from the technical college in town who is in the hospital from meningitis and today we found out that a student from a local high school just died from it also. Supposedly none of the cases are related... in fact a few of them are from different strains of the disease.
So there you have it. In all seriousness, I'm really not scared. If God decides that it's my time then I know where I'm going. I just pray that this city and my school can be comforted by Him.
