It has come to my attention that journal entries of mine from years ago have been unearthed and become the topic of heated discussion. I would like to say that while I cannot say that the comments were not honestly written, they were written years ago. No person is the same as they were three years ago, and I have certainly developed and formed opinions since then. I hope that no one takes these remarks as my current state of mind, and I apologize they were seen by anyone but my immediate friends. Hopefully the idle thoughts of a college student don't really cause too much concern, but in a town with as little to discuss as this, I'm not surprised word has spread.
