"On this journey of soul's desire"

The week has been good. Very good. Tonight was Halo Night. The first in a long while. Oh to go back to posts of yesterday when I wrote on playing Halo every night. It was a good night. 16 people gathered in the Lounge, controllers in hand. It was, in some ways, like the old days. Much less intense. Slightly less enjoyable, but still a good gathering.

Tomorrow is Duncan Sheik. Should be a good show. The bad news is: between now and Friday I've got to write a paper. I hoped to have it 3/4 finished by now, but instead I haven't written a successful word. I've had a couple of brief false starts. So that leaves me with a busier day tomorrow, but that's okay.

I got a call back from Chicago company X today. They want me to come back up to interview on a Friday and Saturday. So that is good news. I may be gainfully employed afterall. I will certainly be hoping and praying it goes well. This would be a good job to start my career. A very good job. Wherever we end up will be good. I'm not worried. Just anticipatory (and yes that is a word).

So the big thing I alluded to awhile ago that I was excited about is the Falls Report magazine. http://www.anderson.edu/falls/ . It was released today through the Herald Bulletin to 24,500 people. It turned out really well also. We're very proud of it. Should be something good to take with me to Chicago...

Tomorrow's my last Thursday of regular classes. I've always like Thursdays so I guess that's kind of a bad thing. This whole thing'll be wrapping up here in about a week. It's a whirlwind. Haven't really had time to think. To catch my breath. And I probably won't. Next Saturday will be an emotional day. I'll graduate, go to a party with my family, then come back to the Lounge to sleep as if nothing were different. But it will be different. George will be gone. Josh will be moving out to live at home. New Loungers will be in. I'll be packing up probably.

All this to say, I'm really just avoiding the inevitable...I've got to write this paper. I guess I'd better get this introduction going at least.
