Just another student's homepage


The internet used to belong to students, you know?

You've seen them all over... Those weird students sites... Those students have too much time on their hands. Don't they have anything better to do?

What I don't like about being a student is that I'm automatically labelled a student. Okay, so the label is correct; that doesn't make it less irritating. People are always trying to figure me out. Actually people are always trying to figure everyone out, I think. People will always try to find out, not who, but what are you, and why can't you spell whether right. And if you tell them you're a student, they'll just say "Oh, he's a student", and that would be all; you're figured out. You're explained away. And you're not very interesting - there are lots of Students, and, you know, they're into weird stuff.

By the way, it'll be the same if you say you're a nerd ("Oh, he's a nerd"), you're jewish ("Oh, he's jewish"), that you like Star Trek ("Oh, he's a nerd"), that you're gay ("Oh, he's gay"), that you're an internet resident ("Oh, he's a nerd"), that you're vegetarian ("Oh, he's a vegetarian"), or that you're a three-headed giraffe ("Oh, he's a nutcase")

As you may have noticed, by now I pretty much tried to give as much information on myself without figuring myself away. I may as well be a three-headed Giraffe. Most people never met a part-time space-soldier from the Land of Iz who talks too much and thinks he's a fish. But now, it's all explained: I'm a student. Oh, wouldn't you guess.

So don't tell them, okay?
