The documentary we've been watching in class all semester just reached the point of 9/11. I haven't thought about it in a while...
That really shocked me...I didn't think it was possible.
I was only in 3rd grade. We got sent home early that day. I didn't really know what had happened.
It's so, so, so sad. Scary that that sort of thing could happen.
I was in 7th grade. I remember none of us thought it was anything serious, until the line to call our parents grew...my dad works in Manahttan, so I called my mom, and she told me that the towers had just collapsed
I remember when they didn't know what was going on with the last plane, the one that eventually crashed in PA, everyone was freaking out about it. I got picked up from school and I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but I barely took a few bites. I swear I don't think I've had one of those sandwiches since.
Elizabeth Marie!!
I finished booking the rental cars today!!
The image of a parent telling their confused small child that is particularly powerful...
Do you know what kind of cars you'll be getting?
Our hotel on wheels for Montreal
No...usually I think you don't know until you pick the car up? My parents have rented cars and we've never known what kind it was beforehand. It's just the car "class"...it'll be some kind of sedan (which is good, because I haaate driving huge cars).
I went to the Hertz place and actually asked them to make sure the reservations had been concretely made (did it over the phone) and made sure they had music-playing mechanisms et al...
I. am. so. freaking. EXCITED.
That's when I started to love U2. :memories:
I'm drained. And my chops are dead. No more playing clarinet tonight.
