Something happens after the start of August and my internal clocks chimes and I know school is about to start. School is already in session back home and I woke up this morning from a panicky dream about showing up to class completely unprepared.
This morning Andy said, "What do you want to do today?"
"I think I'd like to go to the uni bookstore and get my books but I don't want to drive to Center City."
"Why don't you use the internets and order them?"
Then a weird though struck me. When I left uni, the internet still had a new sheen and was not very useful except for email and amazon.com. But now, just a scant seven years later, I filed my application on line, completed the financial aid application on line, registered on line, and now I can order text books on line. It's a different world.
