I'm not going to bore everyone with the whole story, but what I remember most are some of the surrounding things.
How beautiful the day was on the East Coast. My first thought on turning on the television while getting ready for class being classic gallows humor involving the whereabouts of Bruce Willis. The shock of everyone while walking across campus while everything was still happening. The way everyone gasped at once in the lecture hall when we saw the first tower fall (I finally learned what it meant to have the air sucked out of the room) and the cell phones that started ringing and didn't stop through the end of class.
