Look, let's put a little perspective on this. It's one thing to lower the price of a product six months after its release. But two months? I just bought my iPhone less than a month ago. It's the 4Gb version, and I paid $499 for it. Damn right I'm just a wee bit peeved. Will I get over it? Sure. Will I still buy Apple products? Sure. But let me add this: if Apple did take care of us early adopters with some kind of credit or gift certificate, my loyalty quotient would go up exponentially. Apple should do something to make amends. It's the right thing to do. Prove that they do indeed Think Different.

Man, I can’t believe how fast summer has gone by. Well, maybe not that fast, but fast enough to see Lincoln High School reopen its campus after something like four years of reconstruction. That’s totally awesome, and a bit sad; that means that I’ve been out of high school for officially four years as well. Morse has changed a lot in those years as well. Maybe not completely demolished and built up from scratch like Lincoln, but still a different campus from when I still went there. With all that said, I proclaim myself an old man, at least, by those standards.

Seeing all the hustle of the new and returning students to all the schools I passed by this morning brought back a wave of nostalgia; Since I just started at UCSD earlier this year, I know the feeling. And since this coming quarter is going to be my first fall quarter, I’m beginning to feel the anticipation as well.

On another note, I’m really really thankful for summer. I needed these past couple of months to step away from academics and focus on recuperating from what was otherwise a really fun, albeit stressful, first quarter at UCSD.
