Post Attack
I've been glued to the TV in my room all day, watching the news.
For the most part, I'm completely okay. The only thing that really shook me up is the fact that I was at the Russell Square station yesterday...Traveling on the line where one of the bombs went off. And the thing is, I was really nervous to travel on the tube alone for the first time. I'm totally giving the credit to God that I got up the courage to go. But even if I hadn't gone and delayed my trip until today, chances are good I still would have missed the trouble, because I was still eating breakfast when all of the ugliness went down. Now all I can do is pray for those not as lucky as me.
Any-hoo, I did leave my hotel for a couple of hours to give myself a break. My hotel is in "zone two," which more or less means I had a bit of distance from the chaos of central London (zone one). In my area it was pretty much business as usual...The buses were even running.
I'm still waiting to hear the fate of my study abroad program. The meeting to decide began over two hours ago. I have a lot riding on it. It's too late to sign up for summer classes back at MSU and if I don't take the 310 course I'm scheduled to take here in London, I don't graduate. And if I don't graduate, Chatham won't let me start in the fall. Worst case is that I push Chatham back a semester...But that would still be a big ol' complicated inconvenience. So yeah...So it goes.
