something sweet

My professor, Dr. Gaede, is not known for being the nicest of teachers. She’s fair, but she also demands a lot of her students. We were in class yesterday after having handed in our homework assignments and Dr. Gaede announced that she wouldn’t be around school the next day since it would be September 11. “Make sure you tell the people that you love that you love them.” I could have almost sworn that she was ready to cry. That was the first thing that I had ever heard from any of my engineering professors about September 11. Last year, it was almost like it hadn’t happened when I was in my classes. I’m sure yet again, this year, nothing will be said about it. Dr. Gaede was right though. Today, of all days, appreciate the fact that you have people you love near you and tell them that.

I love you guys.
