Silence...

The very significance of this day, makes it difficult to move on. A message from Al Qaeda’s #2 man, last week’s threat, and the warning for all non-Muslims to convert, make people weary as well. The fact, too, that it is now the fifth anniversary, the anniversary does not come with out controversy. But today, my blog is not for controversy. The ceremonies are solem, and CNN has stopped their ticker at the bottom to instead, list the 2,973 names of the people who perished in the terrible attacks on this day. There is a website calling on Americans to honor the memories of those who perished, whether you knew them, or not. The website is “ Mygooddeed.org”
I thought that was a beautiful idea.
People treat this now, as an opportunity to take advantage of the United States- through the conspiracy theories, and to play on the emotional footage of that day.
Partisan politics has no place, on this day. There are no Democrats, no Republicans…no independents. Just sorrow, and celebration of the lives they had, before this tragedy. Tomorrow, the controversy over why the WTC memorial has not been built, and why the city will not help the families have closur, why those who answered the call, and now suffer health problems- are not being properly compensated, and why the officials are disregarding families wishes, will return.
But, for now, it is time for remembrance
Never forget the heros in Pennsylvannia, New York, the Pentagon, Washington and across the nation, and across the world that were affected by the events of the day, and those that died.
Nor can we forget those that have died n Afghanistan and Iraq (2, 984), or those fighting, now. They too, deserve our thoughts and prayers on this day.

Good bye, for now.

Hello from Peterborough!

Well hello!!!
I am here at rez, and I finally have access to internet and phone. I have been literally cut off for the past two days, and going through slight withdrawl.
Well, for the next two weeks, I have CNN!!!! Yay. Then they'll cut me off. Damn them!
At least it gives me a little while.
Well, thus far, most things are pretty good. The main thing that is currently pissing me off is my un-adjustable chair. It is a little short, as am I, thus typing is difficult. It is forcing good posture. Damn them.
I haven't had time to go shopping, grocery nor books. And due to the stairs, my knee is completely locked up right now. I am on the sixth floor, and I decided to be a stubborn ass and take the stairs for the past day and a half, and now I am paying for such indiscression.
I met my academic adv. today aswell. He is nice, so that is a relief. I figured as much, but with past experiences, I didn't have much hope. I have been quite outspoken, and perhaps tomorrow I will quiet down, So many questions, so many things to deal with and so many things are rahter irritating.
This one girl that I met today was about as disappointed as I with one of the sessions we had to go to, and we got a tad worked up. We were the only ones laughing and mocking the presentaion. Oh well, it was entertaining.
Many of my fears have also been put to rest. I have just drifted about, meeting new people. Many groups have already been founded, but thus far, people have been accepting to me just drifting about. Actually, rather inviting. People are nice here, it is refreshing. Everyone works together rather than treats one another as enemies.
Anyway, I have a floor meeting in a short while. I am going to make some tea, though. No coffee, yet. Been living off of Starbucks frappuccinos.
Mmmmmmm....
Well, so long for now. From a rather drowsy University student...
Tah tah
A longer post either tonight or tomorrow.
Tah
(Tomorrow, I must buy books. And HOPEFULLY, go shopping in Peterborough)
