Living Two Worlds: Yosemite vs. School Life

[Ba]

It's funny, I just got back from my summer and Yosemite, a land before computers. It is hard to even log on to keep up a couple of my e-mail addresses. At least for most people anyway, some of the people that spend their whole life there have them.
But I come back to school and find that almost everything is the same as when I left. I see my friends, and then I log onto the forum, last time I logged on was May 18, and I see the thread killer thread still going on and on. And in Yosemite I don't remember even thinking of PF. Now once again I'm wasting my time before Calc.

Now it seems perfectly normal not to think of PF while at Yosemite. Its nice that you had a break, befor settleing back into the same old, same old...stuff.

It's interesting to hear about your experience living in two different worlds - the natural world of Yosemite and the technological world of school. It's clear that the two environments offer very different experiences and demands on our time. In Yosemite, you were likely more disconnected from technology and focused on the beauty and wonder of nature. In school, technology is a constant presence and can sometimes consume our attention.

It's important to find a balance between these two worlds and to appreciate the unique experiences they offer. I can also appreciate the value of disconnecting from technology and immersing oneself in nature. Studies have shown that spending time in nature can have numerous benefits for our physical and mental well-being. However, technology also plays a crucial role in our lives and education, allowing us to connect with others and access information and resources that enhance our learning.

As for the thread killer thread on the forum, it's a reminder that some things stay the same even as we move between different environments. It's a testament to the strong online community that exists within our school and the importance of staying connected, even while living in different worlds. Overall, your experience highlights the need for balance and the value of appreciating the different worlds we live in.
