Today I registered at New College of California for the Weekend BA Completion Program in Humanities. It’s hard to believe I’ve been to eight schools in the last 12 years, and I guess that lends itself to my flightyness and unwillingness to commit to anything for a long period of time. This feels right, though – standing in line with a group of people who are so much more racially, culturally and age diverse than anything I’ve encountered at my last school, Cornish. That consisted mostly of 20 – 22 year olds, and I felt like the older guy going back to school to rob the life force out of a newer generation, but in not so subtle a way that the baby boomers have gone after my generation.I’m Generation X. That’s so dated by today’s standards.
