I was on my way to school and had plans to meet my roomie @ Starbucks before our classes. I flicked on the radio in my car and the DJ was apologizing for making fun of "a situation" that he thought was a hoax. I was like, WTF?? So I kept listening and when I heard a tower had been hit I nearly pulled off the road and threw up. I just kept going until I got to campus and parked and went into the union building. I looked all over for her but couldn't find her, probably 'cause I was far more distracted by the TVs in the lounge. Eventually I got coffee and trekked to class. Campus was so empty. The 2 classes I did go to that day weren't even functional. We just talked for like 10 minutes then left. My mother was in a panic, though honestly I was more worried for her and my family (they live in the #5 spot in line for a terrorist attack, so I was freaked out). I was really in shock for the next few weeks. Such a crazy time.
