in my social aspects course we're discussing globalization and the global village. but, what really struck me today was one question. i've never considered it and i'm amazed about that. what did we do B.G.? BEFORE GOOGLE. honestly. what the hell did i do if i didn't get a reference in a song or know the lyrics? what did i do when i didn't know about something--GOOGLE. i can't believe it. i don't remember. same with wikipedia. i use that as a reference for most contemporary media issues (among other topics) in my life. i wish i could remember. how much didn't i know until i had access to google and wikipedia (and other internet resources for that matter). maybe that's why i feel as though i've learned the majority of my knowledge in college. i didn't have internet access at home--i still don't (which makes me both dread/look forward to the holidays). but what did i do? where did i get my information? i think i just didn't think about it anymore. it's so much easier to access now. it's a weird thought for me. clearly, since i've spent all this time going on about it...haha.
in other news, i have one more paper to hand in and one more day of work before i get to take the train to visit david in chi. then home. i can't wait. i need it more than ever. if i could find the words to write a love song about my home, i definitely would. but, just because i love my home, doesn't mean i want to live there when i'm older. i don't know what i want when i'm older actually. and i don't much feel like thinking about it. i'm in a weird mood.
oh and ps-i'm sick of amko...the peaches make me want to vom.
sweeter dreams.
