The world's insane. Film at 11.

When they started playing the news on the coach, I thought it was a hoax - some kind of radio play thing. Especially as it started out as a station I'd never heard of then switched to Radio 4 with no discernable gap, and they kept playing the same footage of a hysterical American woman over and over again. I didn't really take it seriously until my dad mentioned it when I phoned him to say I was back at school early and so getting the train home.

Anyway, enough of depressingness, I'm sure you've all watched quite enough news. Today we went on an Economics trip to the Body Shop, and the highlight of the day was fighting with Sath with empty drinks bottles at lunchtime. (Well, the grounds were, uh, odd - statues of naked people and aardvarks, the HQ building was a Japanese pagdoa-style affair, that kind of weirdness.) Helena spent most of the time with one of the other new girls - don't even know her name - and bought loads of stuff. Sath covered herself in this body-lotion stuff that smelled of fudge, and chased me round the shop to try and attack me with it, and managed to convince Mrs Roe to do mostly the same (although when her first attack failed she didn't give chase). We got photographed in the gardens by the 'Safe Haven For Bunnies' sign acting like bunnies.

Then on the coach back I was half asleep and someone started playing the radio at me, loudly. And I almost asked them to turn it off 'cos it was just getting boring and repetative, but I was awake-ish by then and not going to be getting any sleep. And I'm generally exhausted, and I guess a little depressed at how the world just proved it was insane.

You heard it on the coach? eeep
I heard it from Mrs H. her daughter phoned during our class (she works in the City (London), to say that the place was in chaos and that a plane had hit the WTC.. that was quite a shock in the middle of a math class...
