Today, all of our teachers (except perhaps one) either essentially encouraged us to watch the news broadcasts instead of do work, or couldn't run a class because they had American relatives that they were worried about. Anyway, all of today, people all around the campus were reading newspapers or listening to radios. The amount of attention they gave the TV and radio broadcasts was amazing. At least people made no jokes about it; this is truly a tragic event... I hope that things end up turning for the better, and that these acts of violence kill no more innocent people.
