London today, definitely :(

It's amazing how quickly a mood of a whole city can change overnight. Today I was getting ready to go to campus when I got a text then a phone call saying that the whole underground network is shut down due to power problems. So I thought, ok, change of plans I'll take the bus and go to the British Library instead. But minutes later news of terrorist attacks started to spread. All plans cancelled of course. Watching the news all day I couldn't believe it was actually happening. On my way to campus I pass by two of the tube stations that were attacked. I could hear sirens of ambulances and police cars all day long. What a world we've come to live in. I can't imagine how there are still people out there who actually believe they are doing this for a cause. It's just sad.

And as if this is not enough, a couple of hours ago there was also news that the Egyptian ambassador in Iraq, who was kidnapped a few days ago, was murdered. This is very very sad.

Anyway, I just managed to get dial up internet today until I get broadband. Thank God for that because it seems I may have to stay in for a while.
