I'm going to chill out in the woods of Vermont with friends and loved ones. Most Wesleyan students don't seem to buy it at all. The only thing that seems monumental about the year 2000 is its frivolous use as a symbol of some significance. Some students feel Y2K is unimportant since it only marks time passed since an incorrect estimate of the birth date of a man who is sacred to a single religion. In all these different societies and religions the year 2000 has come and gone.
Time is our own invention anyway.
I think the whole year 2000 thing is a big crock of shit. Eric Morganstein '03 agreed. It's the Christian calendar, and half of the people in the world don't go by it. I'll be in Yemen. Wesleyan students are split on the danger of being out on Jan. 1.
