WatchA slideshow I put together as historian at my school’s NHS chapter. Peace.
Her parents named her Halleluiah, the kids all called her Holly. If she scared you then she’s sorry. She’s been stranded at these parties. These parties they start lovely but they get druggy and they get ugly and they get bloody. The priest just kinda laughed. The deacon caught a draft. She crashed into the Easter Mass with her hair done up in broken glass. She was limping left...
Tough Losses.
My baseball team has been playing really well. Better then any of the other four years I’ve played here at my high school. However, we have had some really tough losses these first few weeks. An indication of what I mean can be described with this fact: our record is 3-5; it’s not great, but in our 5 losses the run differential is a measly 8 runs in favor of our opponents. Today we...

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university Professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the Prof. went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and...

I’m going to be taking film classes, photo classes, drawing classes, and other visual arts as well. It’s really cool. I also just found out that I got a scholarship from the state National Honor Society chapter. I’m not sure how much it is for, I...

There is so much joy in what we do here.
My ears are still ringing. My fists are still pumping. My legs are still jumping. The Hold Steady was amazing. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. They rocked the Picador in Iowa City last night and two friends and I drove down from Minneapolis and camped overnight. They have so much energy and they project that so well onto the crowd. My friends and I started together in the third...
Road Trip.
Tomorrow starts the adventure that has been a few months in the planning. Two friends and I are taking a one night road trip south to Iowa for the Hold Steady/War on Drugs concert. I’m very excited. The Hold Steady is one of my favorite bands and I’ve yet to see them live so I think it’s going to be a great show.
My only concern for this trip is that we are camping. And...

College Update #5.
Today I got rejected from NYU. It’s sad but not totally unexpected. So now it’s down to my three that I’ve been accepted at: Ithaca College, UW-Madison and the University of Iowa. I think I can rule out the University of Iowa, that was kind of a last minute application and they didn’t offer me much financial aid. Right now I’m leaning heavily towards Ithaca but...
