four year mark.

...If you were to take all members of facebook and place them on their own little spot within the world's map...they would be the 7th largest country in the entire world.

chew on that for a while.

I realize that many are caught up in the cliche hub-ub with the commencement of school again-but let me just put my two cents from my life out there.

.today, as a senior (half of one), i sat in the lobby of my building waiting to walk to my freshman geology lab. it was here were i was completely surrounded by obvious freshmen with their glowing eyes and their awkward 'i'm totally comfortable with what's going on' smiles. it was also here were i was confronted by multiple freshmen asking me about my life, major, where i was from, how my summer was, was i excited about the school year, if i was doing ok on campus and everything else that is covered in a small talk sort of way-except my year...it was here when i realized-they think i'm a freshmen! 'are you doing ok with the large campus?'
.i just nodded.

.after the freshmen walked into their freshman lecture like a herd of cattle waiting to either be branded or set free into the field, i remained seated while being stared down with curious eyes. after the doors closed i walked to my natural place within this 'large campus'...next door to my freshmen lab. feeling like a new 'confident' freshman i looked at the wall and saw 109...so since it was on my schedule-i walked in. it wasn't until i realized...'how can you do a lab in a lecture hall', when i walked out-feeling the heat from the gaze of many eyes on my back. outside i asked the man with the clipboard who had directed a few other students to different rooms if he was the TD for a class on this floor. 'NO' was his blatant response. i then asked if he knew where room 109 was. though it wasn't needed i continued: "because i went into that lecture but didn't think it was in there and i was totally lost in this building because it's not my normal building and i thought it was the right room because it's on my schedule...but it's a lecture-not a lab and you had your clipboard so i was just curious if you knew where it was since you look to qualified...' and it was here where i was preparing myself to tell him how i felt like a freshman today but in reality i am a senior when he cleared his throat...and pointed to the wide open door directly in front of us where the rest of my 'fellow' freshmen classmates were staring at us all the while listening to our conversation.



good day.good day.
