One more thing...

So I don't know how I forgot to mention this... I found out this morning that one of the Psych profs whose office is just basically down the hall from mine had a heart attack yesterday. I guess he wasn't feeling well and started walking very abnormally to his department chair's office and ended up collapsing in the office. So the dept. chair call 911. Security was here within a minute and the paramedics were here in 3 minutes. I missed the entire thing because the offices are set up in a square design with the classrooms in the middle of the square. My office is on the opposite side, so the paramedics and everything came down the other hall, not mine. Anyway, he was rushed to the hospital and the last that anyone had heard was that he was being prepped for surgery because he had some major blockages. Now I'm worried that he may not have made it because a bunch of people were gathered in the hallway and asking "have you heard?" and "it's so terrible." So now I'm wondering if there is more news... but I don't necessarily want to ask too much, ya know? I know that I met this prof at a mentoring thing, but I really can't place the face with the name, which is sad. I have an idea of who I think it might be... but I'm not sure. Anyway... that is the news at Elmhurst... not nearly as cheery as everything else. But that is life, right?
