Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It took me 2 periods to finally hear what had happened. I remember walking down the hallway and seeing a surprising amount of people with tears in their eyes. I didn't think anything of it. My school has always been full of people who seem to have some excess baggage. Then I got to my photojournalism class. I noticed everyone was staring at the t.v. It normally wasn't allowed on, so I knew something had to have happened. It's just like me to come into something like this late. I don't listen to the radio or watch t.v., so I don't hear about these things until someone tells me. I sat down and said "What's going on?", to the girl that sits next to me. "Do you live in a cave or something? Two planes just crashed into the world trade center!", she said, obviously grasping the situation. The next 3 hours consisted of almost constant staring at the various t.v.'s distirbuted throughtout the school. At around 5th period I got into French. The teacher said we were going to ignore the things going on in the outside world and consentrate on French. "If you're going to pretend nothings happening out there," I said, trying to display just how ticked off that got me, "then I'm going to pretend France doesn't exsist." Before we could really get into the arguement, a fellow classmate by the name of Blake walked in considerably late and looking rather pail. "The towers just collapsed", he said softly. "What?", the teacher said. "The towers have collapsed, theres nothing left of them", he repeated. At that point all fighting stopped, and she turned on the television. This was what took place a good portion of the rest of the day. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
