I was a sophomore in high school - tardy as usual. My first class of the day was biology. My mom and I got into the car and she put on NPR.
They were getting live feed of the first plane. My mom said, "This sounds like a terrorist attack." I was clueless, young, naive. I thought we were invincible...so I shrugged it off.
Not thirty seconds later, waiting for the light to turn at the intersection on Bulldog Boulevard, we heard someone say, "There's another plane! Another plane!" And the second plane hit.
My vision of invincibility was immediately shattered and the fear set in.
For the rest of the day, every single teacher had the TV in their rooms turned on. Very surreal.
With that, where you you when you heard the news?

I went away from blogger for months and came back to find alot of the people I use to follow dont blog anymore. Theere is these messages about not wanting to and blogging is taking them away from reality and interaction with people.
I got a call from my mom on 9/11 saying they were bombing us. It woke me out of a dead sleep. I was like what? I turned on my tv and the second plane hit. Surreal moment.
Meh, I still blog. I just wanted to stray away from the "mormonism" theme on this one.
"...They were bombing us." Scary.
I'm not american, so I saw that on TV. I'm so sorry to hear that.

I was at school on my way from physics to Spanish. I don't remember if I made it to class. There was a TV screen by the hallway. Everyone stopped and just huddled in small groups. No one spoke.
