Boxes
It’s weird being back in res. I only moved a few subway stops east, but campus has this weird cut-off-from-the-rest-of-the-city feeling for me, even though it’s in the middle of everything and I’m right on the edge of campus anyway. And I leave campus pretty much everyday.
Not exactly cut off like remote. More like fenced in. Only without an actual fence. It’s maybe just that everyone you see on campus is a student and they live in that student box where you ask people what their major is when you meet them, and everthing’s in terms of classes and grades and social life and TV and drinking.
It’s probably because I don’t have internet or phone service yet and so I am kind of cut off.
Also, I have spent the last two weeks in houses full of people.
I guess I should unpack.
