I was sitting comfortably in Chinese class the other day, ho-humming my way through those first two Monday morning periods (8.15am to 9.45am), when I found out that two people of great intellect have actually bothered to read every single post on here. Hence my reason for writing a reflectable at such a time. So, what’s changed?
Well, first and foremost, I have officially declared my love affair with Mac. Yes, I’ve decided to make that grand switch everyone’s so afraid of making – but that doesn’t mean I’ll be leaving Windows forever. No matter how much I hate it, no matter how horrible the reviews for it are, let’s face it – it’s just something you need to have. Granted, I won’t be installing Vista on it.
Edit: Definitely not. Even Safari just crashed. And I trust that it’s a Windows problem, not an Apple problem. XP all the way.
Besides simply getting a new Mac, I believe it’s time for me, and quite a few of my close friends, to get ready to change even more, whether we like it or not. Personally, I find myself a proponent of change, someone who as long as the change doesn’t mess up my life too much, I don’t really care – and sometimes am welcome of that change. Take for example the newest Facebook layout episode. Every time I logon I see somewhere on my minifeed: “So and so have joined the group ‘If 5,000,000 people join, they’ll bring the old Facebook back’”. Well, that’s simply just not ever going to happen. Not only will bringing the old Facebook back screw up their new FB platform engine, but the site itself is a spearhead for Web 2.0 – changing it back makes about as much sense as banning all aircraft out of the air and requiring everyone to take the train from now forward.
In less than 12 months, many of us will be traveling all around the world, some more in the same regions, others isolated across the globe. Northern Hemisphere anyway. College life is going to be different, and we’ll be ones settling in and not so far from those crabby, rather annoying “kids” they seem to call Year 7. Which reminds me – I shall no longer be subjected to insane screaming every morning between 7.10am and 7.40am on the bus ride to school. We’ll have to run to our own classes, never to be herded any more in the lunch line, never chased around for homework. It’s a complete change of course. Hence this refractable.
It’s not a reflectable. I haven’t done anything remotely similar to going to college (which would, logically, consist of the set of all things college), so it cannot come back to me, for I have yet to create a virtual image of it as I have no reality to base it upon. Hence, it must be a refractable blog post – it is being projected, it just hasn’t reached the object yet. Or it could simply be that I am at the focal point of the lens, so the object of college is at infinity. As I walk close, it will come into view.
You gotta love physics. After all, it’s all driven by gnomes. 
And by that, I mean Linux. See what a geek I am?
