The next morning Pat woke up earlier than usual. Almost a time that a regular person would consider normal. He was surprised. He scratched his head while bent oer on the side of his bed wondering what made this morning different. Why had he slept better than usual? He tried...

She woke up that day from a nightmare. One that once she really got up she was fine, but during she remembered how bad she felt.

During that time of school everyone had a place to be, people would come in wearing shirts of the colleges they got into. While...

I remember thinking Rice Krispies were literally the thing that came in that blue box. I was floored when in college my girlfriend made them with her mom casually inside a glass Pyrex baking dish.

I was reminded of this today because walking down the aisle of the grocery store I...

"Snow seems to be a thing of the past for December . I used to remember these storms that would lock us in for days as a kid."

We drove on slushy roads. Snow had fallen yesterday but the temperature today was already low enough that it wouldn't last.

Maslow's Hierarchy MSU Chipotle

The desire to share is as natural a human desire as food and water. Not sharing won't literally kill you, but once you're at a certain level of Maslow's Hierarchy you'll basically do anything, claw your way to sharing; to be seen.

Things i like about this:

- the humans feeding the roots
- a move to a new place
- intro to a new office.

The paragraph that begins with I was immediately drawn to the desk. It was an old, ash thing; was when i read in your voice for the first time. I could hear your voice, the one i remembered from back at

When reading a few stories back at

MSU

I remember feelings of awe when reading these fantastical writings by you. I was like 'damn i wish i could do that. how does he do that'.

now that we co-write daily i love that i get to just watch you try and try again. honing the craft. I get to peer over and really see what you're trying to build and hone.

Shells Of Our Fathers

I ended up minoring in German lol. I probably remember just as little of it as you do Russian, but I'm more confident in myself so would rate myself as having retained 20% of what I'd known.

There were German practice sessions and stuff after college that I attended. Did you do any practicing for your Russian after graduation?

I remember you also speaking way better German than me when we were at

MSU

because you had taken it so many years at the great

Okemos

high school lol.

When were you reading the 19th century russian novelists? I think I got into them right around graduation and then extending into my post college years.

And yes those Russian novelists really captured something that resonates with people like you, me, and

This reminded me of your post

Re: Re: Friendship

.

reading this and that older post reminds me of how being at

MSU

felt for me. There was just so much open time and space for a collective of people to share experiences and growth together. That was the number one education in my view. Far greater and undescribable than something that was delivered via syllabi, tests, and online videos.
