I opended the door to the Ratigan Student building, and was heading to class that morning. As I entered the room I noticed A lot of students galthered around the T.V. moniter that was mounted high in the corner of the room. As I moved closer to try to see what was on the t.v. screen, I heard a student say " oh my god". And then I saw it, one of the twin towers was on fire. At first I didn't recognise where this building was, or what building was on fire. There, among at least fifty students, stood a silence I will never forget. I rushed to class, and soon after someone came in and told us that a second plane had crashed in to the other tower. At that instant I knew it was an attack on the United States.

Class did not last very long after that. Leaving the building the sky looked different, and the light outside was dim. And I flunked my Ancient Art History class that semester. And I don't care.
