Soap Making Fun

Magazine Interview About Religion

To be completely honest I forgot the name of the magazine, I just remember that it was French and I was interviewed for it. Anyway there was this girl who was majoring in Jewish Studies and somehow she had this gig where she was getting coverage on religious American young people and like I ended up randomly sitting by her so she went on ahead and interviewed me and this girl about being Episcopalian.

I'll give more details when she e-mails me about photos and whatever. But yeah, that was pretty random. Outside of that I've been half-asleep and working on papers today.

Oh, always much fun to hear that jobs are getting harder and harder to get during finals. At least this hasn't affected my ability to get part-time gigs too much yet.

Ahhh, and then this sort of stuff makes you think of loans that need to be paid off in a couple of years. Ahhhh. I guess now I'll stop thinking about this and "relax" with final papers.

peace,
