I have class in an hour and a half and I'm still laying in bed. Ohh, college problems.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of September 11, 2001 - date and day. I was thinking that today has been a lot like that day -- sunny, clear and warm. A beautiful September morning. I had started a new job the previous week, and was getting ready to go train with a co-worker who worked from home. I remember Katie Couric saying on the Today show that there was a strange incident involving a plane in Manhattan. I drove out to my co-worker's house and somehow we got through the day. When I got back to the office in late afternoon, they had news streaming on one of the computers and they had followed it most of the day. That's how I found out all that had taken place. Then all the planes were grounded. I live under a busy northbound approach to O'Hare, so no planes overhead was extremely weird and quiet. Big prayers for our world.

I am running on 3 hours of sleep from last night, because I was up doing math homework. I still have to study for bio and wake up at 6 AM to get there on time. Why does anyone care? I don't know. I just don't get how I am not half dead right now. The weekend couldn't come soon enough.

Keep plugging away, kiddo! You can sleep on the weekend! We're pulling for you, you know that!

My dead old grandpappy said, " You can do whatever you want, grow a pair ", he was quite right.

Karen, your post made me really happy

It's nice to know that. Sometimes, I just sit here wondering if all the stress is worth it, but this helped - thanks. I got a 90% on one quiz I had today, don't know about the 2nd on yet!

Very good! We knew you could do it!

Today's random observation - stale mini Triscuits are REALLY popular with the squirrels and chipmunks - I have a box I had forgotten I had opened earlier this summer, so they are quite stale, but worth running off with to stash for winter, apparently!
