Was working out at the campus gym.

Had been getting up really early recently.

The investigators scoured Cho's room for evidence.

The room looked like any college kid's, strewn with papers, food wrappers, cereal boxes.

They found out that on Feb.

It was a Walther .22-caliber pistol - relatively inexpensive, commonly used for target shooting.

I was in pain and my eye was swollen.

It was the last time I wore contacts.' She also had to turn down a contact lens endorsement deal because of that.Figure: Wears 3-for-$10 T-shirts to market ATKINS diet, fruit juice diet and diet pills, Fann has tried them all - including a certain blue pill which made her poo poo 'really ugh and so messy!

' But she said Xando pills (she's the spokesman) are safe because 'they are 100per cent herbal'.

And despite the popularity of high-protein diets, Fann prefers a balanced diet because 'things should be done in moderation'.

And strangely enough, the harder Fann works, the less she eats.

'I prefer to have light meals then, as I believe that your body is already very tired from the hectic schedule and you should not be burdening it with more food.' Like her actor boyfriend Christopher Lee, Fann is a skipping fanatic, who does 500 times at one go ('It's really easy!
