The 9/11

So anyways today was the 7 year anniversiary of September 11th, in 2001. It was weird today. It wasn't like the school was any less busy, or the kids any less rowdy. It just kind of sat in the back of all our heads I think. My language arts teacher kind of took a brief moment to steer off her lesson plan and started recalling the morning of the attacks and how her students had a moment of silence in the gymnasium. I started thinking of the 9/11 and it's weird because I was in grade three when it happened. I remember Mrs. Lynn was my grade three teacher and all of us were sitting in the back corner of her pink room as she was reading us a chapter of the same novel as she did every morning. The announcements came on for a brief moment and the principle sounded upset, and we all knew something was going on because Mrs. Lynn started crying. Before school Mr.Earl had grabbed all the Tv's out of the computer Lab and set them up in all the bootrooms and in the hallways and all of us watched in horror because we didn't really know what was going on. It wasn't like we were completely Naive because we got the notice that airplanes had hit into two large towers in New York city, but we wern't aware that the rest of the teachers and many people in the city had started fearing for their lives. A 'whats next?' kind of thing.

The strange thing is, that even up here in Edmonton people cried all day and were all so shocked about it because it was so horrific and terrible. Still when I think about it to this day I try my best to picture the hell these people went through just to die. I had a time where I watched tons of videos about September 11th and did so much research on my own and I remember crying once listening to the actual recording of a man who called 911 from the building begging for help and then the building collapsed.

Terrible. I shudder thinking about it, and I get this over welming feeling of sympathy plus anger towards the terroists and the people who are responsible for this.

Tonight I'm going to this auditorium downtown to tryout for the Legends Cheer Team. Apparently its really easy and they will take anyone but we'll see about that. It's like 20 bucks to get in too which is ridiculous.

Hmm what else? Nothing really. We had a massive assembly today. It was big. Lol thats about it.

On one final note, I MISS CHRIS and he has to go camping this weekend. I are sad.
