well, i'm sure you've been watching the news, but i'll keep you updated on my end of things. the wtc is roughly 20-25 blocks away, not that far, but we didn't hear the planes crash or anything. i heard a/b it before i left for class and i saw the holes and damage on the way (the wtc is clearly visible from my dorm), so i went to class. while i was there, one of the buildings fell, so i came home to my dorm. I was in my room for less than 5 min and when i came down the 2nd tower had fallen. my roommate saw the 2nd building fall and said she could actually see ppl jumping out of the windows trying to save themselves.
i've been trying to get a hold of ppl all day, it took me hours to get a hold of everyone. (the major cellular transmitter here was on top of the wtc) i have been handling it alright here. it's kind of scary,
but we'll be alright here. i heard from mary that the military is planning for a war w/i 24 hrs, so be very careful. one of our friends from mid. school is at west point, so she's a reliable person for info. i've been trying to give blood all day since i'm an o type, but
all the banks are overloaded. if i have the chance, i'm going to try to go home for the w/e, but right now we're all stuck on the island. but, the point is that we're all safe. they have stealth bombers patroling the air space even.

so, i'll talk to you later. i wouldn't advise trying to call b/c the circuits are very full right now.
