I am completely dedicating this blog post to my roomie, Garrett. Just saying the name Garrett Miller makes this post technology-related.
The following outline is based on a typical M W F for Garrett's first semester.
8:30 a.m. - Both of our alarms go off. I hit the snooze button. Garrett sits in an upright position for 2 minutes, then heads to the boy's room. He comes back and turns on the PC. I'm still in bed. I awaken from the sound of the loud beep of the computer booting up. He quickly logs onto Gmail to see if he has any new e-mails, such as a class cancellation. He also preps himself for the day by looking at his calendar on Microsoft Outlook.
9:05 a.m. - Garrett's computer science class begins. I am just about to lock the door and head out to my 9:05 a.m. class. During the class, Garrett can become curious sometimes and browse the Internet. He must stay connected all the time.
10:10 a.m. - Garrett goes into English class which he hands in another paper that he spent hours on the computer typing up.
- LUNCH BREAK (occasionally Garrett brings his IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad to the Commons) -
2:30 p.m. - Garrett goes to Security and Risk Analysis class.

I don't take my laptop to the commons. I wouldn't dare to get food all over it.

Garrett Miller is like the coolest guy I've ever met. Even before Governor's School, I saw a class roster and his name on it and I was like, "Whoa. This kid must surely be the greatest." And I was right. And it was good.

He's a machine. I think he is a computer. I'm not bashing - I love the guy- and I love computers...Wouldn't you love to own a computer named Garret!

This is the best post I've read all night, and believe me you jerks, I've read a lot (hello 48 comments in one day). Garrett Miller is a cool guy, and possibly the best part about Penn State. I found it interesting that you left out the part about him staring longingly at his framed picture of the "cowgirl."
