This just in.

Unfortunate realization of the week: Penn State freshmen are now in town for summer session.

Is it somewhat snobbish to look down on new freshmen because I'm a local? maybe. It's probably prejudice to a point but well founded nonetheless. This is one of the rare instances each year when my usual inferiority complex is suspended just long enough for me to feel overconfident and cocky when putzin by a young flock of frosh. They're not especially hard to spot either. A coed group of 10 kids fresh out the nearest dormatory -girls who have yet to obtain their ugg boots and black northface jackets, and guys who have yet to realize that the "I go here" look of penn state basketball shorts and shirts (with a welcome week drawstring bag on their back) is not going to give them an advantage over the 40,000 other guys who also "go here", with making it with the ladies. It's also weird this year because I'm the same age as all the new freshmen- this either makes them look younger , or me feel older. I'll accept both and further inflate my self esteem bubble. I've also realized that the only time in a kid's entire teenage years that you'll see them walking in public with both parents and no siblings is on a college visit/move in day.

Potentially very poor life decision of the day: deciding to go to college my self.

Unless The Kings College will accept "I owe you"s written on post it notes, there could be some hang ups when it comes to actual payment. I've always been good at keeping a low profile though, so I'll simply tip toe along the sides of the hallway, try not to raise my hand too often, and always wear a pair of running shoes in preparation for a quick getaway when approached by an administrative looking person. My papers will be written under the alias Carter Fairwetherford: child of New England rich, upper-class status. with a credible line of tuition payments, a reliable source of funds, and a mean back hand in tennis.

Fantastic discovery in the past 3 hours: Generically branded, monstrously large, bags of cereal at the end of the isle.

I'm talking a dog food bag's worth of corporate free, bulk quantity, cheerios for less coin than a regular box. Great jumping statues of Budha! it was a good day for grocery shopping.
