word of the day

There's a new word going around: collegiate. Everybody's saying it, don'tcha know? Collegiate, as in "I hate toting all these books around, but it is so collegiate," or, "Meet up for lunch after class? Ah! We're so collegiate!" Buzzword of the month. And I love it.

So I, too, had my collegiate moment, typing away in between morning classes, trying to fit a bagel and some sanity into the bargain as well. I sat amongst the hum of the Terrace, work spread across half a table, furiously adding commas and nixing "to be" verbs from Ian's essay. Being busy, being challenged---it's such a rush.

And so collegiate.
