New things.
Hey, everybody. It’s been, oh, a month or two since I’ve talked about what I’ve been up to since being in Seattle.
1. Classes start Wednesday. I’m stoked. I’ve been waiting SO LONG — I’m surprised the day has come! Friday was Orientation, which was painfully long. I met a lot of cool people though — and have before then, too — so it turned out to be just fine. We were all exhausted together, as friends.
Tomorrow is (Re)Orientation for a few hours in the morning. I’m going to hopefully use the day as a familiarize-myself-with-the-school time. You know, set up my printing account, peruse the bookstore, et cetera.
How have I been preparing for classes? I bought more BIC mechanical pencils, tape to stick my Berserkr bicycle spoke to my laptop, and I thought long and hard about how to take notes. Laptop? Spiral notebook? Composition notebook? No conclusions have been made.
2. I go to a pretty cool church. It’s called Wits’ End. I’m always at my wits’ end by the time I get there every week. It does good things to my soul. Also, my pastor Phil is a really great artist.
It’s weird being a part of a church again, since I haven’t really been in so long. I stopped going to Northeast sometime last summer (I think), but by then it was intermittent at best. I never felt a part of the churches I went to in Marion. So this is good. Plus, unlike a lot of churches I went to in Indiana, Wits’ End makes me want to be a believer. I don’t sit there, praying for the service to end so I can talk to friends or each brunch.
3. Damien Jurado lives down the street from me. Yeah, I know. I know I know I know I know. I’ve been freaking out all weekend.
Anyway, for those of you not familiar with Damien’s music — you need to be. Lydia gave me some of his music in Iraq, and I used to fall asleep listening to it.
