Listen to Music Again

I got my new iPod!!!!!!! How I survived over a MONTH without a constant influx of music--the world may never know. But, I now have my new baby (to replace my old baby, who kicked the bucket. poor little thing, the hard drive crashed.) 160 GB and silver, just like before, but more skinny and sleek. (does it make me shallow to point out that fact?) Awesome.

Feel the Wrath of the Super Rad

Reasons Why Spring Term is Totally Radical:

• My computer doesn't like the wireless connection in my apartment and shuts down if I try to connect to the internet at home.
• My computer's battery has decided to give out. 5 minutes without the power cord is definitely pushing it.
• My phone only registers half the time when I press the keys.
• My iPod has committed suicide and even Apple Support may not be able to help.
• Half of my History notes are in French, and the other half are simply unintelligible.
• The website where I store said history notes had an error and won't open on my computer.
• ....I could go on, but I'll spare you.

Talkin Bout My Generation

After a particularly difficult class period as I came up the JFSB basement stairs I pulled out my iPod. This week calls for some serious rock and roll. I insert my beloved skull candy and begin scrolling for the perfect song.

Out of nowhere a girl texting on her phone with one hand and holding her iPod with the other practically collides with me. I look up from my iPod just in time to dodge out of the way. She glances up at me and that's when I realize--it's Katy! I almost ran headlong into my cousin.

How small my world has become. It can be compacted into 160 GB of space on a minicomputer that fits in the palm of my hand. As a member of Generation Y, I have to hand it to myself and those me age. We are so invested in technology that sometimes we miss what is right in front of our faces.

I'm certainly not badmouthing technology. My iPod is still my lifeline and I could not make it through the day without looking at my phone. And if Mark Zuckerburg can make 13 Billion dollars off of a website, more power to him (I've discovered the answer to all my financial woes: drop out. It worked for Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerburg). But every once in a while I'm not going to utilize those ear buds and just enjoy the sounds of outside while I walk. But I'll do that later...

On the train back from Scotland Beno and I took pictures of our most prized possessions. Only Generation Y would take this over the Scottish Countryside.
