Oh Texas. Texas is a place I have fond memories of. If only for your women. Well, apply to college up here.

Guess you had better luck with them than I'm having. :rolleyes: Probably not going to college anyhow.

For one thing, I probably didn't. The miserable bitch ripped my heart right out. Still, she might have been one of the most attractive people I've ever met.

Secondly, thats no attitude to have. Whats the reason for pessimism? Funds, grades, or health?

I think it's just that I'm completely content with being a tosser ;). I don't really have the money, and I don't see much point in trying to aquire it because I have no desire to go. I think as long as I can provide for myself I'll be perfectly content with whatever menial jobs come my way. At least for now.

I've seen New England's glories, tweedy Dorothy. For four years.

The best part of New England, I'd say, is the foliage in autumn. And the ocean. Harvard Yard isn't too bad, either, except the place is overrun with people from NYC. Those darn New Yorkers make it hard to hear a Bostan accent at all when in Harvard Yard! :( Very disappointing.

I can't say I miss the East Coast at all. I prefer being a country bumpkin, surrounded by the lifestyle of animal exploitation that I so despise. It is very inspirational! :)

Once you go, you may find out why college can be so good. It can stretch your mind in ways you didn't expect! But you probably shouldn't go until you really want to and know what you'd like to learn.

You don't really think of yourself as a tosser, do you, Conan?

Then you didn't see it. Its a whole new universe up here. And we're not without country.

I remember the days when all you did was complain about Chicago.

Yep...the foliage *is* beautiful. I miss that about upper New England. And the towns are quaint and cosy.

But there isn't usually that *desolation* feeling of being in the country, like in Iowa. Alone. Far from people. Ha! Take that, New England!

:/

Have you been to northern maine?

During a pre-freshman weeklong trip before the start of college, we went camping in New Hampshire and Maine, giving us a chance to see more of New England than just Massachusetts. I don't remember how far north we got in Maine, but we were out in the woods and hills, hiking around. It was lovely, especially since I prefer deciduous forests to evergreen forests.
