I found out yesterday that a friend, a fellow English teacher here, felt dizzy while waiting for the subway over the weekend. She fainted and then fell down on the tracks. She was hit by an oncoming train and her right leg was severed while her left one was injured severely. Thankfully, she's alive.
When I first got the news through an email, I was really shocked. My hands went cold and I started shaking. I can't stop thinking about how her life will be changed by all this. I feel really sad and frustrated that I have no power to reverse what has happened.
Since hearing the news, I've been in a daze (as are other teachers) and I keep hoping that when I open my eyes the next morning, this'd all just be a bad dream.
Sigh...other than that I'm ok though, so no need to worry about me.

Oh, weeze, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I'm thinking about you. (In fact, I went to my local Japanese grocery store this weekend and was thinking I could use your advice on what to do with the interesting things there.)
