We had two minutes of silence today in honor of the attacks last Thursday. The embassy kids all assembled on the front steps to "show our solidarity and defiance", facing Grovesnor Square, where ten minutes before there had been a "suspect package" warning and lockdown. Hella defiant. It was pretty intense... the two minutes started and all the people in the park stood up (most were half-clothed, interrupting their sunbathing)and kept still and quiet. It was strange seeing everyone stop. Until my old 28 Days Later zombie-phobia crept in and I got kind of nervous. But I guess I was kind of hoping the city would have an official start, like in Israel, where they would blow the air raid sirens to call everyone to attention... maybe ring the bells or something. But no...

In other news, got AP scores back, 4s across the board. I'm pretty pleased, especially with art, since I was expecting like a 2. So there you go, SUCK THAT AP BOARD!
