Dispatches From a Collegiate Txter

Yesterday, Four O'Clock in the Afternoon.  In a School of Communications and Theater meeting at Mitten Hall.  
Message to John Crodian-
J.G: "College is gay"
J.C: "we need to find a way to make summer last forever."
J.G: "That sentiment brought a tear to my eye."

After I said goodbye to my family, I ran into Ben Holloway and Dom Urbani.  Ben offered me a Parliament and when it comes to smoking when people offer you a cigarette, I'm an addict.  This is about to stop.  They don't taste as good as I like to tell myself.  I'm lighting it just as my parents are rounding the corner onto Diamond Street.
Message from Mimi-
M.G: "Mom is freaking. Just saw u with a cig. Ur dumb. No more."
Message from Mom-
L.G: "You said u wouldnt smoke. You make me sad"
Point taken Mom and Mim.  That sentiment, too, brought a tear to my eye.

Sometimes, I like to drop Jon Boyd a line.  Our conversations...  I don't know what to say about them, really.  This took place last night, 9:20.
Message to Jon Boyd-
J.G: "Dont let school murdere [sic] yr spirit and will, though, senior year kinda sucks"
J.B: "Its about to but ill try not to let it Cable news chanels are disgusting"
J.G: ""Such bias and really does the populus need bullshit "commentators" telling them whats wrong and right"
J.B: "I noe the only chanel keeping it real with convention coverage is whyy"

I had breakfast in the cafeteria.  That makes sense.  What doesn't is that I had cereal instead of something of a little more greasy persuasion.  I'm glad I did that actually.  They have flatscreen TVs to keep your mind off the D-grade meat and thick consistency of the milk that I'm sure comes from a bag.  Nah, I haven't been that negative but, as an aside, TVs in cafeterias are kind of a weird trend...  Anyway, I thought of Miles when MTV-U spun a Dizzee Rascal video and I didn't think my roommate was picking up what I was putting down.
Message to Miles-
J.G: "They have MTV U on in the cafeteria and theyre playing the flex video. College is aiight"
M.F: "Haha that's tight! Cool classes? Cool roommate? Cool everything?"

Everything's pretty tight.  Classes start Tuesday.  Tired of writing for myself, so, what do you want to hear?
