I was listening to a cd, stuck in traffic, when I saw some cars turning around. "Odd" I thought. I decided to tune into the radio thinking that I would hear some information regarding traffic. I heard that the first tower was hit, little speculation that it might have been an accident, then the second tower was hit. I arrived at GMU, sat in my car to hear as much news as I could before class. As, I walked to class, I tried to register all that I heard. But the impact of what happened didn't register until I saw the images on the tv screen later that day. I sat and watched the events unfold. I made sure all my family members, friends, friends' parents were ok. All I really wanted to do that entire week was to be engulfed by the tv news.
