School, A Good Weekend and the Anniversary of 9/11

So the first week of school is over. I've gone to all my classes (well except Philosophy--that's tomorrow), met all my teachers and bought most of my books. I'm on my way to being an actual student. Lots of homework, which I'm actually doing, an improvement over my previous scholastic efforts.

Went to Toronto this past weekend. Had a pretty good time. It was Mark's niece's birthday on Saterday and we went to her party, which was fun. I enjoy spending time with Mark's family and the kids are all really, really cute.

Sunday, we went to the movies and saw Invincible, which was really good. I love sports movies, especially inspirational ones. Then we had lunch and went shopping. All in all it was a pretty good day, we just enjoyed each other's company. It was nice. I hated having to say goodbye. Why can't the weekends last forever?

Today's September 11th. It's been five years since the attack on the World Trade Center, so of course it's in the news. Five years. It's one of those days you don't forget. I can still tell exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news. Can still remember it all in vivid detail and I'm sure it's like that for most people.
