Thank You Apple!
I'm sitting here with my computer, listening to Pandora Radio (one of my favorite things, especially my Train radio station) and checking my email for the first time in a few days. School is done, and I figured I'd blog since I haven't blogged in two months.
Two months without a blog? Must mean two months without internet...something like that. I must say that there were times when it was nice. I did a lot of homework (I completed my summer classes without constant internet access!) and I did even more reading...for school and for my own entertainment. Tom Clancy knows how to tell one intense and exciting story!
On the other hand, if you have a computer, and you've had internet access in the past, then unwillingly going without internet is a royal pain. I had to do everything from my iphone, which does not replace my computer, but yes, the iphone is one revolutionary tool. while i had no internet, i spent many hours on my iphone doing my homework - flicking and pressing and flipping that tiny black screen checking email, twitter, and researching for class. I wrote about 50 pages worth of papers for my english class - much of the research retreived off of my phone. I have much more appreciation for my iphone now, but I don't want to do that again. It was really frustrating.
I feel bad that I haven't had the ability to blog...had I had internet, I could have written in detail some of my experiences from summer session. Here are a few highlights:
-walking on campus in the summer is really cool. Everything is green, it's quiet because everyone is gone, and the people there are really chill because it's beautiful out.
-the kids-on-a-rope continue in their hilarity:
kid on a rope: (pointing to old main) someone's buried there. hey, did you know that someone's buried there?
adult supervisor: no, there is nobody buried there. that's where the university president works.
kid on a rope: no! some guy got killed and they buried him in there!
adult supervisor: no, nobody got killed, and nobody's buried down there.
it was pretty funny, that kid was so sure that old main was haunted or something...
It feels good to be done with school though. Now I have more time to do other things...like fill out applications so I can finally get a job!
