Wow... Has it already been five years?
I remember meeting up with a friend at the registrar's office because I was planning to take care of my student fees that day. He explained to me that two planes had hit the WTC. I just remember exclaiming "cool!" because I didn't think it was true. Anyway, my friend told me to just go home because classes were essentially cancelled anyway. I still had no concept of the magnitude of the situation.
On the bus ride home, had a conversation regarding the attack with a business man who was sent home. It was only then that I started to realize the events were actually real.
Got home, and like most of us, just sat there in front of the TV for about 8 hours, in this total daze, watching the repeated replay of the attacks.
My prayers go out to all those who lost loved ones that grave September day.
