I Love the English Department

(Margaret, Arthur, Paul, Kristie) The Sigma Tau Delta banquet on Sunday was stupendous. I have rarely been more sure I picked the right school. My English faculty is brilliant.

Not the Age of Reason

This is not a time when I should be online but I need to say this—last Saturday was my birthday, and I took Jennifer, Maria, Kelly, Kaitlin, Guy, John, Dan, and Kelly's friend Justin down to the cabin for the weekend. On the big day, my mom drove Annebel in from Memphis, and she finally, finally met all of them, saying they were bigger in real life. The point is, before I get back to history, that Saturday 14 March 2009 was maybe the happiest I have been since the Homecoming last May, and it was almost certainly the best birthday I have ever had. Sitting giddy on the bed with Jennifer I thought I would pop with joy. Both nights I went crazy with laughter when it got late because I was surrounded by so much love. A few people I wanted weren't there, but despite that I have rarely felt such unbridled glee.
I love you all.
