Do you remember the feeling that would come over you as you got under the covers the night before the first day of school? When you tried desperately to smother the millions of thoughts that bounced frantically off the walls of your mind? I do, and it may sound silly, but even at 20 and after having done this consecutively for more than a decade, I still get butterflies in anticipation of that anxiety filled night.
The mind becomes saturated with worries and predictions: will I get lost? What will I wear? Will I make new friends? Will I like my new neighborhood? Did I make a horrible decision in choosing 8am classes?! (most likely) Will I have a romance? Will I actually like my major? Will I run into of all of those kids that did a semester in Spain, those people who I got close to only to see them return to that "Boston campus" that seemed so foreign. Ah! Go to bed!
I’m not sure which thought was my last , or what time I finally fell to sleep that night before the kick off of fall 2008, but there is certainly something appealing about that restless night that happens each year as a student. There is something warm and comforting about those overwhelming nerves and limitless curiosity. I think it is those moments of discomfort that keep life exciting, those moments when you feel every nerve in your body and butterflies in your stomach; those instances when we realize we care about things and look forward to others. Once in a while we are lucky enough to feel this flood of emotion, and it is worth it even at the expense of a good night sleep.

I'm planning to buy an iPhone. But before i do that i need to find out if the iphone can view every website just like the one on the computer. Does Safari support all websites including JAVA and flash players. Can i view Youtube and pics and other videos on the Iphone using the interent website? One last thing how long does it take for a page to load?
