Rarely do I catch up on the news other than what is relayed to me via friends and conversations, but most often by Mom. So, when I went on campus today to chat with my financial aid advisor (a sweet man who was kind enough to blunder through my issue with me [despite the fact that apparently fin aid doesn't actually cover what my problem was] until we found someone who knew what they were talking about) and was super early, I decided to grab some breakfast and watch the news before my appointment.
I'm not entirely out of the loop; I know about the earthquakes and the tsunamis and how many people are suffering. I did not know about the nuclear power plant explosions and the thousands evacuated and warned to stay indoors with windows and doors closed to prevent contamination during a power outage after having watched their loved ones washed away by the tsunami waters right out of their hands. And I most certainly did not know about the various responses by (I hope only) a few Americans to the plight of the Japanese.
More evidence that fame, fortune, and especially Twitter are just about the perfect ways to show the world what a unfeeling, selfish, ignorant creep you are. Thanks, America, for reminding me why I hate watching the news and making me so mad I almost cried.
