I was in a really good mood earlier today because of the elections.  But when I couldn't find anyone to talk to who gave a shit about it one way or the other I just got depressed.  It isn't just that, but that reminded me of all the other things that annoy me about Binghamton.  I shouldn't complain, because I enjoy me classes and I have a nice

I hate to this but we need to have some perspective. There may be ridiculously rich people at Tufts but we came from Brighton. We came from one of the best high schools in the country. We had the money to take AP classes, we indulged in drinking Starbucks, we had choir trips every year to see musicals, Javas, the Little, we had lots of nice clothes, MUN, wicked smart teachers in a district so full of wealth that it never fails to vote up school taxes.
We even had that whole intellectual-liberal utopia thing going, to my mind at least.

Maybe I'm slightly bias. To put things in perspective, there was a point in my life sophomore year when I'd paddle down the stairs late at night in Dad's huge, freezing old house with a waterbottle under 3 layers of clothing to keep me warm, turn on the water tap and it would sputter and refuse to turn on. I would look in the refrigerator and there would be nothing in there except jars and jars of molding guacamole. I would eat toast for dinner and occaisionally a fancy treat was me cooking grilled cheese. All my friends looked rich by comparison.
so seriously, we have it pretty freaking good. anything beyond life at Brighton is just ridiculous, and by ridiculous I mean bordering on conspicuous consumption; just completely unnecessary.

anyway, point is, I'm partially breaking my self-imposed lj+facebook ban because I need to say I love you Jess, come to Geneseo; you know you want to, and seriously... I'm just waiting for Thanksgiving to see you and Court and everybody..
lots of love,
-Kate

I completly agree...all I'm saying is that I want my intellectual liberal utopia back! It costs nothing to just talk, and that is really all I am looking for. I am thinking about Geneseo, or Clark if I could still get my scholarship. But I doubt I will end up transfering. I'm sure the kind of people I want to meet are here somewhere, I just need to find them.

P.S if you ever find yourself eating toast for dinner over winter or summer break, just come over and we will order take out Indian food or something like that.
