Snow

It's currently snowing here. By that, I mean flurries. But to the English, a bit of snow automatically translates to SOCIETY HALTING BLIZZARD. I had a fairly good day today. Polished off Jane Austen's Persuasion for Mark and Carol's British novel class. Now, on to Wuthering Heights for mroe historical British fun. The big final Paideia paper was due today. Mine was on British evangelicalism. In researching for it, I visited a couple evangelical congregations here in Nottingham. It was wild. One place was housed in this huge renovated warehouse decorated like a giant religious Chipotle. It even had a full bar (yeah, that kind of bar) in the back of the church. Wild. The whole point of the sermon was how God was ready to give people in Nottingham the power to literally heal people on the street.

The second semester is in full swing now. I'm really liking American History. I took Progressivism to school in the seminar this week, asking really intelligent questions that no one could answer about whether or not the African-American progressive movement accomplished anything. Baseball is off to a good start. Although, I'm currently in search of my NATURAL THROWING MOTION, to try and stave off the feeling of nuclear explosion that rips through my right elbow after every practice. Trombone is going well too. I've sort of lost the will to type anything more tonight. We've just finished Pulp Fiction, we're leaving tomorrow for a two day trip, there's more movies to watch tonight. I'm out, check for update on Sunday or Monday. Later
