Present Joys

• Took another anthropology test which seemed to go ok.
• Squeezed into the Canzani auditorium with at least 500 of my peers to watch James Gurney speak. Great stuff.
• Was sorted into new ad teams for the entire rest of the semester and got kind of a bum deal.
• Ran into M Stillion while walking on Grant Street and got really excited about that.
• Did really bad acrylic painting of myself in illustration class.
• Had to put away the raw celery I was trying to eat in science class because it was too loud and crunchy.
• Let about half my ad class use my stapler, which added greatly to my self-esteem.
• Made some headway with my new, underwhelming ad team. (Perhaps?)
• Went to the drinking fountain during my team class and got distracted talking to Mrs. Tabler and missed the homework brief.

GPOY.

The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar of 1500-year-old, 200 proof grace—a bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the gospel—after all these centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your own bootstraps—suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home-free before they started. Grace was to be drunk neat: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale.

• Did virtually nothing in my photo class; spent a lot of time hanging out in Crane with Amanda and trying unsuccessfully to read my computer screen amid the blinding morning sunlight.
• Failed miserably at inventing characters for my illustration class (but so did everyone else).
• Wore a full-body spandex greenman costume at lunch with my friends so Jack could take my picture and pretend I was an autistic child.
• Worked my brains out on team stuff. Did not practice my accordion nearly enough.
• Just barely remembered to do a crossword puzzle for my anthropology class (which is still a pointless time suck).
• Worked on my second ink wash piece for my figure drawing class, which is turning out even better than my first one.
• Visited the art museum with my SMAC class of 6th and 7th graders, Derrick dressed as Darth Vader the whole time.
• Spent 4.5 hours printing and mounting team stuff with Theresa and Colleen. And we are still friends.
• Enjoyed some delicious pierogi that my dear friend Ian picked up for me from the North Market while I was stuck printing and mounting.
