Two Degrees of Separation

Posted by Kate Kerse on Tuesday, August 24, 2010

The new telecommunications company, Two Degrees, supposes that whereas worldwide any person is connected to another by six degrees, here in New Zealand we are connected by two.

I am inclined to agree with this. Being awake at a strange hour and persistently avoiding working on the genetics assignment I have due in today, I pondered this thought. I find that when you are thrown into an environment where you're living with a lot of people, you're bound to know someone who knows someone you know. And Selwyn is the perfect environment to prove this.

Just yesterday I was bored (read: again avoiding genetics assessment) and was just scrolling through photos of my cousin on facebook. And who should I find but one of my fellow returners! If that weren't enough, my neighbour this year went on gap year with a guy I went to intermediate with, the King to my Evil Guard No. 1 in the Operetta my intermediate performed in 2003. We're always having these tendinous connections thrown at us, only serving to prove what a mightily small world it is after all...

Just a thought!
