Are Your Ready for the Summer?

(to get the full effect of this post, sing "Good Friend" from the Meatballs soundtrack to yourself. "If you let me, I can be your good friend" Remember?)

Classes have ended. Now all my student workers have gone home for summer vacation. One is off to study in China. Two have fancy internships on Wall Street. And yes, one is going to work at a summer camp. While they're away, I'm going to miss:
-talk of Omarion and the break up of B2K
-outward displays of inner turmoil over the choice of majors
-offers of free bootleg media
-alarming DVD recommendations such as "You have to see the Mummy! It's the best!"
-reports of coming fraternity misbehavior a.k.a. listening to weekend plans
-preaching the gospel of comfortable shoes and the benefits of waists on pants and skirts
-Asian pop star boy pin ups
-listening to the boys argue about subway systems of the world
-warning the kids about the evils of www.thefacebook.com.
