Day 1: “This is pretty cool. I don’t think I’ll spend a lot of time on here, but, it’s nice to finally have it.”

Day 2: “Hey! I can make a profile with all sorts of interests. Hmm… I’ll just add a few. Ok. Make that a lot of things. After all, I’m multi-interested, right? So, I’ll just add everything I’ve ever been interested in ever.”

Day 3: “Neat! I found all the people I went to high school with. I haven’t really talked to them in a while, but that’s OK. I’ll just add the three or so that would really remember me. It’s not the number of friends, it’s how friendly you are with them, right?”

Day 6: “I look at other people’s profiles, and they have so many friends! I’ll just add a couple more so I don’t look desperate. But that’s it.”

Day 6, 10 minutes later: “Click! Add to friends! Click! Add to friends! Whee! So much fun! Click! Add to friends!”

Day 6, 20 minutes later: “Click! Add to friends! Click! Hmm.. I don’t really remember her. But she goes to an under-represented school. I need more people from Texas! Add to friends!”

I’ll be honest: I’m still doubtful I can reconnect with people from high school. But we’ll see.

    HOW DID YOU GET ON?!? Do you have a Wellesley ID now? Or have they finally got Olin’s emails working? RARGH!

    I don’t even think it will be that great. I just want to TRY it for Pete’s sake.

    I used a Wellesley account. Best part is: I ended up dropping the class. Free e-mail account.

    It’s like, uh, ultra-exciting, man. There’s topless girls everywhere. And an open bar.
