re: 9/11/01

I was a 5th year senior at UGA, walking into Park Hall for an exam, running about a minute late, huffing and puffing, professor was at the door and said "Test is cancelled" and I thought it was his way of saying I failed because I was a minute late, something he was known to do.

When I saw over his shoulder the room was empty, is when he said "There have been terrorist attacks on Washington DC"

I felt relieved that I didn't miss the test, but wondered what the frick was going on....

Walked out of Park Hall and one of my best friends happenned to be driving by, saw me, pulled over, picked me up. His girlfriend was in the car, her dad was a Delta pilot, and she starts telling me about everything as they give me a lift home.

I get back to my apartment, my crackhead neighbor greets me like "Duuuude... have you fricking heard blah blah blah" and follows me into my apartment because he didn't have TV.

We turn on Fox News and start drinking beer at about 10am on the morning of September 11 2001.

The rest is history.
