Not at all surprised that this was a Writer's Block question.

(This is supposed to say "9/11: Where Were You?", but that part got cut out for some reason.)

Sixth grade, at school. I lived in Plainsboro, New Jersey at that time (about an hour away from NYC), so I'm actually pretty surprised that I didn't know way more people who were affected by it. I wasn't really affected much, myself-- my aunt (Dad's sister) lived in Manhattan, and so I went down to the main office to see if I could try to reach her, but I wasn't all that worried because I doubted she would have been anywhere near the towers.

As for what exactly I remember... I'm pretty sure I was in Mr. McKenzie's science class, and they brought us all out into the sixth grade concourse and told us what had happened. I don't remember how much detail they went into, but I do remember that all my sister heard at school was that there had been "a plane crash".

... OOPS, fixing that. I'd really rather not be reincarnated into a sixth-grader.
