Last Days at Hampshire
Well, life without my Mac has been a bit tricky. I miss it terribly, and while it has the benefit of giving me no reason to really hang out in my room; it has also severed my connection to an aspect of my life that is difficult to live completely without. It is looking increasingly like I am just going to wait to take my computer into an Apple Certified Technician I trust in Boston. I could have it back much earlier if I took it to the local YES Computers, but I have heard too many horror stories and I don't want to have to deal with fighting to not be screwed as they seem apt to do.
The last few days have been nice, although I just can't get rid of this slight niggling melancholy I'm feeling. I think much of it has to do with the transition I am about to face 'into the real world' but I think even more of it is regret. Regret that I didn't get the full college experience, that I'm 'behind others' in experience and various forms of maturity, and worry that I didn't challenge myself nearly enough while in the safety and supportive environment that college provides. I will never be in such a 'protected' environment for experimentation and risk-taking and I really flubbed it.
Yesterday was also the annual Halfway to Human Zombie march in Boston. For some reason I always seem to miss this great event, although there's a great write-up on Bostonist. Two of my friends attended and no doubt had a great time, one of them even went as a Zombified Kurt Kobain.
I don't have anything to end this entry with, except a petition to get David Tennant in a kilt next season. So if you like kilts or David Tennant and fancy the two of them together in glorious celebration of his Scottish heritage and hotness you might think to sign it. I signed it so you don't have to feel embarrassed.
