I, Jack Gladstone (hereafter referred to as i),
Being of at least some form of mind and body write the contents of my day.
Set the scene:
It’s cold, it’s the winter and it’s cold.
It’s cold outside, it’s cold inside unless, of course, you’re wearing a sweater.
If you’re wearing a sweater you are just precisely over the border of Toowarmopolis
(population: i).
Int. an oddly nice community college library,
excellent when you consider the town it is in is occasionally the **** capital of Iowa (Ottumwa).
The main contender is nearby and is actually the other main campus for this said college (Centerville).
Coincidence? Is Indian Hills based on **** money? Is the administration a cartel?
To answer these questions in order: yes, doubtful, and of the textbook variety alone.
i sit with the courtesy headphones on listening to the Shins.
i, obviously, work on poetry assignments.
i work on my computer class.
Office is not as i remember it. It’s changed. It’s different. What means what?
i panic.
i realize it’s silly to panic.
i panic anyway.
i remind myself it is silly to panic.
i regain my composure. No one noticed.
i think.
i miss toolbars. i miss clippy. i miss words instead of symbols.
Is this what being old is like?
I’m far too young for that.
If this is me now what will i be like when I’m elderly?
Living in a world of holograms, infocubes, the wikimplant.
i lied about regaining composure before. i do that sometimes, lying i mean.
