So this happened today of the day...

So I’m not sure if anyone has heard about this yet, or at all, but South Korea was bombed by North Korea today. Part of me was very shocked and freaked out when I heard, and the other part of me wondered why it took until 9pm for someone to mention it to me. None of the Koreans at the climbing gym tonight seemed worried about it at all so I wasn’t really sure how to feel. Then, on the way home from the climbing gym, I became aware of how I truly felt…


Courtney, Dong Hoon Jae Hyun (our Korean climbing buddies) and I were all walking to the bus stop from the climbing gym. We all take different busses home except Dong Hoon and I, and Courtney's bus is always the one that passes her and then takes 30 minutes to come again. So yeah we were walking, and we saw the bus stop far ahead of us. Courtney and the boys were talking about something, and I was spacing out, not paying attention to anything around me. Then out of no where, the boys start yelling and the next thing I see is Courtney running for her life! So I did what any sane person would have done. I started running for my life too, because for that split second where I was spaced out and they were screaming, I seriously thought we were being bombed in Pohang, and Courtney was running for cover. Seriously. That is what was going through my head when i started booking it alongside Courtney. Only seconds later was I to realize that Courtney was only running because the bus was about to pass her and she wanted to catch it. 

I felt so stupid.
