yep, me, too. when i came to college a year ago, it was like i was
enveloped into this totally different world, and i haven't emerged yet. i
don't read the papers, watch tv (well.....ok, x files creeps in),
anything. i didn't know princess di died until 3 days later, and i think
it was bananafish that informed me.
maybe i'm an exxagerated case, when
i'm writing a paper or something, that's **it**, that's all i'm doing, but
i think it's wonderful. i'm going to live in that hateful, confused world
all the rest of my life (well, i unless i sneak off to india to become a
jain or something...), and i'm grateful my campus is so secluded and i
can just withdraw into it. it's stifling often, too, but, that's the
price you pay (well, along with that $30,000 a year...)
but, of course, it's also fun to go home and gorge myself on mtv and the
chicago tribune.
well, this has nothing to do with salinger, and was just a "digression!"
from my big paper for english, so, i guess i'll go. stop wasting the
bandwidth, as those techie people say and i still am not quite sure what
it means...
ob. sal:
i really don't know where that "we've all talked and talked..." quote is
from, and it's bothering me that i don't, but i don't have any idea, and
don't have time to find it. anyone?
