[insert your life here]

so the goal now is to read Nietzche's Genealogy of morals before Tuesday, construct a character, core concept, setting, etc for my screen play, write an article on some political event before next friday, and read more of this note from the pope.

Those are my classes in a nutshell. I have the raddest classes this semester: first is Christianity and Culture. We've been discussing and challenging so many topics just accepted in churches. It's quite the rock to my evangelical core but I am glad for it. Screenwriting is next... Yeah Bish, I am learning more and more about our elementary fantasy. I think we may have started off wrong, but now I am getting the proper footing. There are so many good sounding movies out there.. I think I have been so disillusioned with movies because I was plugged into the pop culture stream and missed out on hearing about some good classics just because I wasn't thrilled with any of the movies I had seen. More to that.. but note to self: careful not to write off a medium. Journalism in a political context may be very useful to me in the future with my current idea of pursuits: media reform, media literacy etc. The instructor is 65 years old from Ottawa, full of stories, immense yet fragile, and very experienced... haven't garnered much from the class yet... but I am hopeful. Last is The Contemporary Catholic Theology of the Love of God. We're just breaking the surface in this class... I've heard it's amazing.

And... other parts of life: Issue #7 is out and looking snazzy (some have said). I'm listening to Seldom follow their hearts (reminds me of a story Austin once told me about running through some department store with friends "following their heart": visuals). James is planning huge on the student leadership side of things and I'm nervous. And, we'll be home for a day or so this weekend (Saturday and Sunday). So I'll be thinking of you all when we're in the area.

peace.
