New Beginnings

Hello all. I am rather new to blogging stuff for the world to read. So, first off allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tosha Boyd. I am a nineteen-year-old college freshman. My major is biology, and my minor is chemistry, although it may be subject to change. I've loved, and lost love. I've also been through a recent tragedy which no student should have to go through. Can you guess what it is? I bet it's been all over your local news, especially if you live in the southern United States. What I am speaking of is the "UAHuntsville shooting" I am, in fact a student there. I would like to put the facts out there, so you know.
Dr. Amy Bishop was an anatomy and physiology professor, and a neuroscience researcher here in Huntsville, as far as I know. On February 12, 2010 at approximately 4:05 PM she killed three of her colleagues and wounded three others. One of the people she wounded is my microbiology professor, Dr. Joseph Leahy, who was shot in the face or the head, and is still in critical condition, but improving greatly. We here, at UAHuntsville, are recovering. It's just very difficult. School, despite state mandated or not, is supposed to be safe. This kind of thing shouldn't happen, but it has. Also, I have seen certain articles about a supposed "Herpes Bomb" and I am here to say those claims are false. Actually, a "herpes bomb" wouldn't even work... The virus would get destroyed by the heat of the blast, plus herpes is not airborne. I hope I have brought light to anything that was in the dark, and dispelled anything that was false. You are welcome to leave comments or questions. Thank you, and I promise my next entry will not be so depressing.
