I know what you mean. I guess it is still a topic of discussion, especially when something new is released. I don't watch the news as much as I did during the summer. I do try to read the paper, though. Overall, we are being more careful than before the killings, but we are taking precautions that we should have always taken (Not walking alone, carrying mace and/or taking self-defense classes). I'm sure that your daughter is being smart about safety, she may just not show it. When I go home (I'm from BR) and return to the sorority house after dark, my mom is so worried and says, "don't go back, just sleep here." I tell her that nothing is going to happen. I try to act unconcerned even though I really am.
