i’ve been really busy recently so haven’t been able to write much other those with imminent deadlines. i started writing a new post last night but when i got back to continue, i was met with an update about the virginia tech tragedy - that the shooter was a korean-american.
as a korean. i just don’t know what to say. of course i really hope that this doesn’t lead to increased racism, nationalism, or any more uncessary diplomatic conflicts. but for some unexplanable reason i feel more sorry not only as a fellow human being who can think and feel the extent of this catastrophe, but as a korean. i have so much to say but nothing to say at the same time.
and i also read this story:
A car bomb near a central Baghdad market killed 82 people Wednesday, a defence ministry official said, bringing to at least 127 the death toll from a spate of bombings in the capital.

life right now feels simply tragic.
