Comps are done. Finally. They were okay. I'm a little nervous about passing, but there's nothing I can do now. It took a few hours (and a few drinks) for me to calm down yesterday after they were done. Now I can relax a little and enjoy the spare time this will give me. I've still got plenty of school work to do--all the grading and reading I've ignored for the past month.
Last night I saw the play Far Away by Caryl Churchill. It was short and odd. Interesting, though. I read Top Girls by her and loved it. I'm not as sure about this one. I went with my friend Josh and our professor that we read Top Girls with. Afterwards they took me for a drink to discuss the play. They both had great theories that put everything together in smart ways. My contribution to the analysis: "I liked the hats."
I've finished watching Carnivale. I enjoyed the series. I like when there's a spiritual, biblical element to a story. It's always interesting to see how non-Christians (although I suppose the creators could be Christian, I've done no research) deal with such material. One of the catch phrases around the show is that the dust bowl was the "last great age of magic" before mankind "traded away wonder for reason." I think that's a beautiful concept. The age of reason really did leave life sterile on some levels; I want to live in wonder of life.
It was 57 degrees today, sunny blue skies. I was in Wheaton to see Katie for her birthday, and we walked to Starbucks. It was lovely.

I loved Top Girls, too.
