Let's start this update on a good note... so HAPPY BIRTHDAY i_love_dragons Lisa you're finally 21 so go out and party!!
I don't have class till later this afternoon so I actually got to sleep in this morning. It was quite nice. Although I started this thing last year on this day so I decided to do it again. Well last year I had a class at 8:00am and all through the class all we did was talk about the events of September 11 and where we were which seemed to be the big question that day. After an hour and a half of debating and talking and listening, I got back to my dorm turned on the tv to CNN and went to bed just listening to all the names of the people who died because of those morons who have nothing better to do than to make people suffer! So this year I decided to do that again. I turned on my tv to CNN at around 9:00am just listening to the names that children were saying. And it was so sad at the end they would say the name of the person they lost like their parents, siblings, uncles and aunts. It was so sad, tears actually came to me eyes. Then my phone rang so I had to get up. It was a friend of mine who was hysterically crying. Neither of us had ever been to New York to see the towers but I think we can just sympathize with all these people. So I talked to her and we're actually going to meet up on campus later on and talk. We should of went to the memorial that was held on Parliament Hill but I woke up too late to actually make my way downtown. But my thoughts are with the victims and isn't that what really matters?
So where was I on September 11, 2001? Downtown Ottawa of course! I woke up, didn't turn on my tv, didn't go on the internet, I had the whole day off from school so I decided to make my way to Ottawa U and go sight seeing with a friend. We walked by the American Embassy and we see everyone running out of the building, we just kept on walking by the Parliament Buildings and saw people running out of those buildings. Thinking that was a little weird, we grabbed lunch and went back to her dorm and saw the planes hit the buildings. It was so shocking I just couldn't believe it. After seeing those plans hit the two towers like 5 times, we just went back to her room and people we talking about rumors planes were coming to Ottawa to hit the Parliament and the American Embassy. Nothing happened but I was so afraid, I went away from downtown and went back home to have 4 messages from my mom. She was freaking out because she couldn't get a hold of my dad or myself. My dad was in Chicago and couldn't get to Canada and well she was franticly crying. So my dad got back and hasn't been to the US since. He keeps telling us he just never gets load to the US but we all know he's afraid. He's go this tough guy attitude outside but in the inside he's a softy!
Well I'm rambling on and on so I'll just keep talking to Brenda while she's in line at taco bell. Then it's off downtown to meet with some friends and get to class. I have a damn night class tonight so I'm going to be home very late! Sometime I'm going to have to call Serena and ask her when we're going to meet up to work out at Florida Fitness. I just spent $130 for a gym pass. But shhhhh don't tell my mom or she's going to kill me! LOL Tomorrow I buy my buss ticket for DOI! Whooooo almost 2 weeks guys!
