It’s been five years already. I still remember everything that happened that day. I was a freshman in high school. One of my teachers said a plane had crashed. I thought, Planes crash all the time what’s so special about this? Then I found out in my next class. My biology teacher was hysterical because her parents were in New York and she couldn’t contact them. I still feel a little guilty because I laughed in that class before I found out that two planes had crashed into the Twin Towers. The rest of the day at school became quiter than usual. It wasn’t until I came home that I learned the towers had collapsed. My parents came home early from work and called our relatives in New York to make sure everyone was okay. I couldn’t really understand then that this day would shape our country for the next several years, probably decades.

In less important news, France beat Italy in the Euro 2008 Qualifier!!! That was an amazing 3-1 victory! It just makes me wish that we could’ve all seen Zizou hold up that cup again…

I had the worst morning today. I had jury duty but I couldn’t find the courthouse! Stupid mapquest gave me the wrong directions. So then I had to reschedule, uuggghhh. I really need to get started on homework. I’m so behind on the readings.

Wow, I still can’t believe it. As much as I disliked the Crocodile Hunter, this is just too sad. Imagine dying in some freak stingray attack. Rest in peace, Steve Irwin.

In other news, I’m back in Boston. Can’t say I’m too excited to be starting classes again. My new roommates seem alright… for now. Hopefully it won’t turn out like last year. That girl was a bit insane. She would make me lock the door whenever I left the room for 5 minutes… while she was still inside the room! My professors seem okay except for one who droned on for about an hour today. Still he seems like a nice guy. Guess what we talked about on the first day of French class?? The One and Only Zinedine Zidane!!! Generally, people agree that Materazzi sucks. I’m still looking for Soccer/Football t-shirts! I went to the zoo last weekend and saw a ton of Brazil shirts. Why can’t I find one?! I bought myself a Samsung 19″ HD TV online. Hopefully, it will ship here by next week. Gilmore Girls, Grey’s Anatomy… can’t wait! I blew off 200+ dollars on clothes last week. I got some cute shirts from Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Urban Outfitters and Forever 21, all my favorite stores. Also got a supercute bag at Urban Outfitters for only $24! And a pair of flats from AE but they kinda hurt so I don’t think I’ll be wearing them all that much.

I changed things around on the site a bit. I added an updates section (to your right) so people can see the latest updated pages. And now I have a handy dandy comment plugger. So comment and you will be plugged!

New layout! I got tired of looking at Cristiano. Still think he’s hot as hell though. Don’t forget to visit my portfolio, Sapphire. I also made some new LJ icons featuring my latest obsession, Zidane. Yes, he is the most goegeous footballer I have ever seen and I love him even more after the headbutt. I added a new song to the radioblog. Click on “PLAY” to your right to hear it.

Anyway… it’s my birthday next Monday! Amy will finally be 19. I’m thinking about going to Six Flags with a couple of friends. I love, love, LOVE rollercoasters.

Well, the World Cup has come to a crushing end. For me at least. I really thought France had it. Then Zidane went and pulled that stunt. You broke my heart Zizou! The media is saying that Materazzi insulted Zidane with a racial slur. If that’s the case, I can totally relate to what Zidane must’ve been feeling when he headbutted Materazzi but Zidane should’ve had more class than that. He’s the captain. He needed to place his team above himself. Anyway, while I’m getting over my post-World Cup depression, I think I’ll go see POTC: Dead Man’s Chest tomorrow. And maybe The Devil Wears Prada later this week.
