I've been thinking that when I go to college, I shouldn't have too much trouble with the cultural adjustment. But today Hampshire's admissions propaganda department sent out a link to a student's blog. Apparently the idea was to show us how cool it is to go to Hampshire.
Mein Gott. Reading that makes me feel about a hundred years older than her. And tired. She has a paragraph that I'm guessing has more words in it than this entire blog. I'm not at all sure I'm prepared to use the word "ginormous" or fight over Fruit Roll-Ups with my friends. I haven't even seen a Fruit Roll-Up in a very very long time. And Harry Potter is not even a little bit part of my cultural background—I read the first one and was entirely ungrippèd.
Not that this changes anything. But I hope there are some grown-ups there too, this notwithstanding. Otherwise I guess I will have to hang out with my sister more, just for cultural conditioning...
