Facebook

Facebook is quite an interesting creation. Unlike myspace, it's a connection between specific high schools, colleges and occupations. Currently I'm apart of the Punahou network. But like the many second semester seniors across the country, I've already joined the network of the college Ill be attending next year. In addition to the network, I have found and joined the group call SPU Class of 2011. At first I thought it was pretty cool that there was a group for all the incoming freshmen. I mean, actually seeing the faces of your future peers brings to reality that we're really off to college in a few months. People in this group are really friendly, too friendly if you ask me. To be specific, its not creepy friendly. More I find it rather strange that these people are overly enthusiastic. These future SPU students pretty much post their autobiography on the SPU2011 group page. There are a bunch of really chatty white girls who have added the all the members so far. And a group of people who have already come up with a name to call their informal coffee gets together at the May 19 registration up in Seattle. Don't get me wrong; I have no problem with the fact that they're trying to get to know people, even if it's a little extreme. But it's just that I'm not that enthusiastic as they are and its making me a little worried.
