Time for another daily post about life here on campus. But before I begin that I'd like to say that I will be attempting to blog more frequently now that I have FINALLY got the hang of the wireless network here at school.
And now...
A day in the life - April 7, 2008
Realized today that I am officially a "nerd". I have noticed that "geek" has recently gained notoriety in the public eye and thus is considered "cool". I, however, couldn't be further from it - at least here on campus anyway.
I noticed as I sit here in this sunshine-streaming-books-laying-dormant-as-a-thing-of-the-past-world that the younger crowd all have little teeny Apple notebooks. They sit here for hours seeking out the latest message left on their MySpace page and taking up the only good tables with a view of the city. The only people in here with out one is me, some 75 year-old man in the corner who (I think) is asleep and the librarians (who have their own PC's to play on).
I'm guessing that these kids have to swear on Coach bags that they use Apple-light-as-an-effing-feather notebooks to gain access to the cool crowd. Not too mention be able to demonstrate wicked fast typing abilities so that it sounds like the three blind mice scurrying around on their keyboard. This ability is clearly meant to serve two purposes: one, to annoy and distract the hell out of me and two, to wake the dead(??) guy in the corner. Whew, thought I was going to have to ignore him all day!
But I'm not bitter about it. Let them have Apple, let them have Coach. I'm a home-owner bitches!

LMAO! I loved the post. One of my cousins is returning back to college after raising three children, married and home owner. I'm a home owner as well and have a Siamese cat, but no kids. I told her recently, "It has to be odd in that crowd." They are so young, computer wizards and yet lacking the values of our day and age. Enjoyed your post!
Thanks Aleta! It's nice to know that other people understand what I'm going through. It's not easy. But then, as my mother would say, "If it was everyone would do it!"
Good luck to your cousin!
