i found a direction there, but when i followed it, it just brought me back to school for another the degree in a completely unrelated field. and i'm still here, and haven't followed the tangent vector yet, i'm still waiting to finish the first degree, but i meet new people and make friends and find myself, usually on the floor feeling very sorry for myself. i develop a sense of irony and become very postmodern. i think it's cool to make fun of people who think they're cool, when they really aren't, and i let myself think that i'm counterculture. if i were really counterculture, i think i would've caught on by now.
