9/11

[Ginkasa]

I was in 8th grade. I remember in my first hour class I was supposed to be looking up stuff on some classical musician or something, but instead found out I share the same birthday with Mark Twain.

Then I went to second hour Earth Science and heard of few whispers of something about a plane and the WTC, but not enough to know what was happening.

Then I went to 3rd hour US History. My teacher told us, "I know we were supposed to have a test today, but this is a US History class and history being written right now." (or something like that). He then took us to the media center where several teachers had been taking their classes to watch the news footage (MSNBC) on the TV in there...

So I watched it...

And then I went to 4th hour where I was an office aide in the attendance office. I spent the whole hour running around the school getting kids out of class so they could be checked out because of the attacks...

And then it was hardly mentioned in my 5th (Algebra) or 6th (English) classes. Then I went home and tried to watch my normal after-school shows, but Cartoon Network had taken Gundam off the air (too war-ish), so I switched to the news again...

Yep...
