Reconnected today with a friend from college.  (Thanks, Facebook chat! Or “Face-chat?” Anyway.) Obi and I met when I was a senior, doing an orientation program for Harvard, and he was one of the wee li’l wide-eyed first-years in the program.  Fourteen months later, he’s picked up a few things.  Paraphrased:

Me: yeah, i needed to take some time to heal after graduation, lol

Obi: absolutely

it’s unfair

to get an education in an environment that doesn’t teach you what’s valuable to learn

Mm. Now who’s dispensing wisdom?
