"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

Okay, so I am now a law student. Katie Yoder (Sara and Jessica's older sister) warned me that there's very much an attitude here of hard drinking as a way to deal with stress. "No biggie," I thought, "same holds at Dam Green." But it is different somehow when the administrators themselves are advocating it. It's really weird.
Not sure about making friends. We have small-section legal writing and I wave at those people when I pass them on the sidewalk, but everybody here has so much money that it's kind of weird. There are probably some good people here, though; out of 1500 there has to be. I'll find them tomorrow at club breakfast. Arrr!
Also, I am writing this on my laptop which is connected through a godawful expensive wireless card. It's nifty I guess, but also kind of crazy.
The church bells outside are actually playing a tune, but I don't recognize it.
Finally, I do like my housemates and I find that I do enjoy riding the bus. It's such a low-stress way to get around, especially when all the routes run at least every ten minutes.
