This is so horrible.
I was learning about loading a film camera in film class today when this happened. I left that class, not knowing yet, and checked my email. A friend of mine sent me 2 pictures of the buildings with holes in them. At first glance, I thought it was a fake picture. I had seen one similar a few years ago to promote either Deep Impact or Armageddon. I then I went off to my next class, not thinking much about it.
Before I got to my next class, everyone was in a hallway, watching tv. I then realized that it was real. The feeling that came over me was like nothing I have ever felt before. I sat there in the hallway, looking at others crying and trying to take all of this in.
I couldnt....I actually went to my philosophy class out of habit...and the teacher must not have known what was going on. He sat there and started to teach. I was still in shock...my whole body being swarmed with waves of tension, shock and disbelief. I could not sit there in class for more than 2 minutes. I went back out to the hallway, sat on the ground and cried.
I then went to the Student Union, where the had counsellers and phones set up to call NYC. There are so many kids that are from nyc that go to my School (University at Buffalo) I could see some of them crying out in horror. One kid came into a room, walked up to an advisor and said; "Umm, I need to make a phone call" He could barely talk he was shaking so much.
Nobody will ever be able to put any of this into words. My attempt here is just to outlet some of the feelings that are going on inside of me, and hopefully be able to deal with this in some way.
I prey for all those affected, and for all of us left, that are going to have to live threw the aftermath, and garunteed retaliation that is going to commence.
God Bless
