Just wanted to say I miss having you around

"The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding. On the whole men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance which fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness."

5 Good Things About College:
- Having a roommate who shares in the pride and delight of successfully assembling a chair for our 5x10 "living room"
- Living on a campus small enough that I didn't actually have to make an effort to learn the whereabouts of anything.
- 12 varieties of cereal
- I appear to suffer homesickness about 84% less than the average freshman.
- An astonishingly stellar cafeteria selection has allowed my store of Ramen to remain unperturbed.

5 Bad Things About College
- A thermostat recently confirmed a relatively consistent dorm room temperature of 64 degrees.
- Wake-up times comparable to high school
- Discovering that our TV lacks the capability for DVD connection
- Greeting every morning with a ladder-less, five and a half foot jump.
- Cliche things (including, but not limited to, shower shoes, gen ed classes, separation from friends/family, and ceaseless conversations about "the freshman 15")

My geology professor made a total of four Star Wars and five Star Trek references in a four hour time period. Tell me that isn't the most stereotypical thing you've ever heard.
