Government Journal for Friday, September 11th, 2001

Today watching the news became an all day event. I started at just 9 am when I was made aware of the situation that was unfolding at the world trade center. It became even more shocking when live my second period class, tv studio, watched the second plane crash into the wtc buildings. I had watched movies and seen stuff like that, but never something real.

Then we watched as the news of the Pentagon being hit. That threw us into a frenzy. The second period TV class had been doing announcements 3rd at the time, and we had no idea what we were to do with the announcements. Making it worse, Mrs. Ratchford was not in that day. So I had to get someone to do the bulletin board, and then get Maria to go check with Dr. Pasi about what he wanted done with the announcements.

By the time I was in 3rd period, I had figured our the easist way to get information was to use IRC. IRC(Internet Relay Chat) has a low bandwidth, bandwidth being amount of data per second transferred, usage which meant that I could use it and know it would be around... I am still more intrested in getting information than processing my thoughts and feelings right now, Maybe later this week.
