Life Inside The Bubble
"What bubble?" , you may ask, "and what kind of life is it inside this bubble?"The bubble of which I speak is the beloved fish-bowl in which I live - A University Campus! Separated from reality by a mile wide stretch of woodland and countless miles of ocean, life in the outside world glides by hardly noticed. A few rays of reality occasionally filter through to us, though sometimes measarably distorted by the protective field known affectionately as "Campus Life". "Campus Life" effectively screens out any distracting world events (wars, famines, elephant stampedes, etc.) leaving those engulfed in its muffling embrace free to concentrate on expanding their minds and destroying their livers.
Luckily, we have internet access inside the bubble, and consequently can spread the outlandish customs and conventions we create here in our loving academic institution. "Which academic institution is it?" you may also ask. You find the answer to that question and many more on The University Nexus .
Speaking of outlandish customs, it is about time that I resumed chasing young students with large mirrors away from enraged construction workers.
Have a peachy perusal of my personal page and have a pleasant portion of your day!
Cheers!
The Sonnet of the Grapefruit
One semi-sunny Easter Sunday, I decided to sit down and write a sonnet about a fruit that I hold dear to me. This playful piece of prose is the result of that afternoon. Enjoy!
