Kylan has made it known that there need to be more blog posts. To the rescue:
The earthquake in China has caught a lot of news and media attention so far. About two years ago when I visited China, I went to the region that has been hit, Szechuan Province. I've found myself wondering about the students that we were paired with and the sister school we visited. I really do hope they are all right. Since I got back home I've been listening to NPR a lot, and it was a little serendipitous that the NPR team was already over there ready to report the latest news. Along with the cyclone in Myanmar, things have been a little dodgy in the that area of the world.
I am actually back home now, and I am working basically as an office slave for my aunt up at the Criminal Justice Training Center in Burien. It turns out that where I am basically interning is only a few blocks from Peter Klosterman's (a friend from WSU) home. I might be doing some pretty interesting work up there this summer, so I'll keep you all posted.

Have you tried to contact anyone you know in that region?
I actually haven't. I'm not even sure if I have their e-mail accounts. It is a little terrifying though. The news reports indicate that a lot of the schools fell in the earthquake. The building code in China is not as stringent as the United States.
