Memorial events for today's occasion were minimal. The only formal ceremony (that I'm aware of) was the playing of taps in the early morning. Other than that, the only real remembrance was that they told people to bring flowers and place them on the steps of the main building. When I went at 9pm, there were much fewer flowers than I expected. Probably doesn't help that there's not a conveniently located flower shop around (at least, not that I know of, anyways).

When I finished my last class around 8, clouds were beginning to gather. I rushed home and made some origami flowers out of colored Post-It notes. (It took me awhile to get the hang of it.) I walked over to the main tower, placed my "flowers" in the arrangement, and knelt on the steps in observance. Raindrops began to fall... Mother Nature shed her tears of sympathy...
