I was in Aural Skills 1 when I heard about it. During the actual occurrance, I had been in a practice room (yes, practicing at 6am, that was a horrible semester!). I thought you were AMAZING in "Hole in the Sky" and I think that play should go Broadway.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about 9/11 meaning so little-I had 7/8 graders this last school year who would have been in 1st/2nd grade at the time. That realization makes the fact that 4 entire generations of peace passing after the coming of Christ to the Nephites all the more amazing, if an impact as big as 9/11 can barely last one now. <BR/><BR/>The other thing is how little "war" means now. I think about it and my daughter was born during the war and her whole life, a war has been going on. Not a world war, but still a war. But it doesn't feel like war has been described for like Vietnam, Korea, and the World Wars. It just doesn't affect people as much. It's kind of sad.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094281171264262848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875495216138536804.post-54764837586213026152007-12-09T22:17:00.000-07:002007-12-09T22:17:00.000-07:00I was just in my dorm at BYU getting ready for my ...I was just in my dorm at BYU getting ready for my 9 AM Book of Mormon class when I found out about everything. I am from DC as you know and there were all sorts of problems with phones; I couldn't get a hold of my family until that afternoon, well after things had happened. That was a tough second week of college for an 18 year-old, but I learned that it was time to grow up, I guess. I spent the whole rest of the day in a daze, went to the prayer meeting in the Marriott Center, and prayed with my roommate in our room and really felt comfort. Pres. Hinckley had given the CES fireside two days before and I really remembered what he said about being optimistic and seeing sunshine through the clouds.
