MIA

I've been MIA for what feels like forever...today's my first day back at school which I've been looking forward to. Yeah, I know I'm such a nerd. But this is my senior yr so I'm looking forward to getting done with my program! Stay tuned for an exclusive interview which I'm sure y'all are dying to read (just kidding!)--I just read Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber and it had me cracking up! Yes, I am a fan of chick lit, comedy, Harry Potter--haven't read the new one just yet--and the occasional literary masterpiece. I've read a lot this summer since my old computer went kaput on me and I've been trying to brush up on vocab for the GRE.

Seriously, what would people do for entertainment if there was no internet, or tv, or, gasp, any electronic form of entertainment? Isn't is strange how you suddenly feel deprived when you don't have constant access to something and yet millions of people around the world survive perfectly well without it? I'm not advocating an internet strike by any means. This issue of deprivation came up last night during a lively discussion about travel, the developed vs developing world, expats, and things higher income people take for granted around the world. Anyway, I need to get my school/work schedule together. More later.
