I was going to Mercer County, but had just woken up and taken a shower when I went onto another forum I read and read the thread about the first plane. I turned on the tv to watch the second plane hit. I went to my history class, where one of the kids came in, said something along the lines of "I'm sure you guys have heard, the towers were hit and my dad works there...I'm not coming to class."
After class the next room had a projection screen up and was streaming MSNBC onto it from the computer. I watched it for a little bit, then went to my car to get lunch and listened to pst I think...went back for my math class and they closed the campus down. Went to work to see if they needed me, but most of the parents were picking up the kids (I worked in the day care), so I went home and watched the news all night.
My boyfriend at the time had an uncle who was in the city. My bf couldn't get in touch with him, nor could any other family member. Sometime that night he finally called...he watched the towers fall, but he was ok.
