Default Notes from September 11th

That morning I was driving to class around the harbor with another student from my class, Gowan Tervo. In the car, we had heard on the news that an airplane had hit a building in the city. They had played it down and it totally went out of our minds and we went into class and got into our studies. That morning as usual, we were listening to a PowerPoint presentation and the doors were closed and we were basically shut out the world. Until halfway through our lecture Stillman comes in and I believe one of our lecturers was Winship - so we basically had the dean of our school talking to the director of the lab and they exchange something and that was that. We all left. Class is done at that minute we all know that the world has changed and that the World Trade Centers were collapsing. It is kind of surreal to think about that day. I look at my notes and you can just see, mid sentence, at a point, boom, things stopped and things changed.

And then the most difficult thing to get around was the fact that the lab wanted our homework the next day, but really it was a very surreal moment to see locked in our class notes the moment things changed.
