9/11 We Remember
We Remember -
As you look at these pictures, take a moment to remind yourself exactly how you felt when you heard what happened, disbelief? Anger? Remorse? Fear? Remember the 3000+ people that died that day, their friends and families. Remember and honor the brave heroes - police, fire and EMS... and the ordinary men and women that became extraordinary heroes that day... Remember the men and women who fought the terrorists on the plane so that it would not crash into our capital. Remember how you felt watching the story unfold on the television, how you cried watching the footage of this terrible terrorist attack. Remind yourselves that it was the terrorists that did this. Remember our soldiers, who live and die to protect your rights to say, believe, think and feel whatever or however you want. Pray for them and their families.
Pray for the families of the victims from that day… This was bigger than Pearl Harbor - bigger than the Oklahoma bombings... bigger than anyone could have imagined. Remember how our country wept, but did not fall. Remember how our country came together in this time of crisis, full of pride and patriotism! Remember how Rudolph Giuliani’s strength and poise gave us all strength. Remember how good it felt to know that immediate action was being taken by the USA, by our President, to ensure that this did not happen again, happen in your town, happen to your family…. Remember why we are fighting. Remember….
Wow has it really been that long?
So kind of a lot has happened since I last updated. I graduated with a BS in psychology, cumme laude - and a BA in criminology summa cumme laude - which only seven out of 600+students graduating this summer earned (including me). I have been supper busy finishing up my senior year, and my senior thesis research project.
I also got accepted to UF's graduate program in the criminology department. I was awarded an assistantship, for which I TA/ teach for the University of Florida. In exchange, I recieve a small paycheck every two weeks, free health care, and my tuition is waved during the normal academic year. 9 people were accepted into the program this year - and it was our highest applicant pool ever. I am taking a back door, if you will, to a degree in forensic psychology. Classes began a little less than a month ago, and thus far I love it!
Not a whole lot has changed except I am busier now - which I am not sure how that is possible, but apparently it is. Oh, I play World of Warcraft instead of champions on PS2 now. It is so addictive.
Draco is doing well (teacup chihuahua) and I finally got Sunny in December of last year. Sunny helped so much with the stress level - even now, she keeps me cool - there is nothing I would rather do than spend the day with her. She has such a personality.
This is a little better insofar as photo quality. You can see how shiney she is!
Fact of the day: A bee produces enough energy in a year by flapping its wings to power a 60 watt light bulb for 2.5 hours.
