Even if I did want to forget thsi day, the media and general public won't let me. 5 years have passed and it feels like it was yesterday. Why can't we all just move on? I'm not trying to be rude or insensitive but it's not healthy to dwell on such pain. Today was the first meeting of my public speaking class... he made us talk about what we remembered. Three students refused to talk (found out after class they had family members die) and one girl left the room she got so emotional. I said something like 'making us talk about something this important isn't a great way to start the class-- I don't know about you all but I have an ugly cry'. For a brief moment people smiled.
Tonight I have to go to a memorial and read a poem. I really don't want to go. Forget the fact that I hate the poem (poorly written if you ask me) but it's the fact that I don't feel like spending an evening rehashing old wounds. I wish that I could just sleep through this day and forget it even happened... I'm not liking the mood this day is putting me in friends. I don't like it at all.
Sidenote: They are playing 'Fahrenheit 9-11' in the cafe right now... I don't know what to think of that.
