Elliot was, as he always is, … Continue reading BODIES: Chapter 10
BODIES: Chapter 9
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBlFCoe0FvI Ana passed me her dance bag as we climbed out of the car, and Nathaniel’s jiu jitsu bag found its way into my arms immediately after. “Excuse you!” I chided the two of them. “Am I your servant?” “Yes!” they both answered me as they skipped their way towards the house.

Somehow I managed to plant and nurture just the right relationships with peers and professors alike to become a trusted pupil of the department.

BODIES: Chapter 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBlFCoe0FvI Awake with festivities to finish the excruciatingly long month of October was the entire campus and all the blocks in between.
