What Were You Doing?

on 9/11/2001? i bet a lot of people remember it pretty clearly. i know what i was doing. it was tuesday and i only had like 2 classes that day, and my science class started at like 10. so, me and my roommate at school were getting ready for our classes, and i was flipping through the channels looking for Saved by the Bell. funny huh? we tuned in not long before the second plane hit. i remember asking her if she thought it was real. i watched coverage all day (totally skipped my classes. i think the afternoon classes got canceled anyway), until i had to go to work that night. i remember thinking: there's no way anyone's going to be there. the country has come to a stand still and i have to go slice meat and cheese. nice. it was obviously a slow night, and up in the break room more coverage was on the tv. one of the older guys from the meat room was up there. i think he was getting ready to go home. but he couldn't believe it. i think this has been like the JFK assassination for our generation. everyone that was around then remembers what they were doing when they heard about that. and everyone remembers what they were doing when they found out about this.
