"You'll shine like gold in the air of summer."

If you haven't been introduced to the beauty of the Kings of Convenience, you need to check them out immediately.

The other night I walked to over to the grotto. I have yet to take my own picture of it at night, but this is the one from the ND site:



It's a beautiful place. I have also attended mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. I can't bring myself to take pictures inside, but you can see it on ND's site:



Class is really cool so far. I'm really excited about learning French. I have also begun to explore the library, which is enormous. The worst part of this adventure thus far is that last night I learned the hard way that during the summer NOTHING is open for food after 8 pm on campus. Nothing. Not even a mart of the kwikki persuasion. I ate the most expensive pizza of all time last night because of my ignorance. Bah.

I wrote down some graffiti I found on a desk. This part of the post is dedicated to Charlie. Here are some of my favorites:

- "I want to kick T.S. Eliot square in the balls."
- "Note to self: Stop looking at the graffiti (poetry) and get your work done."
- "Do I love her?"
[Different handwriting.] "She has no soul."
- "Theology is gay."
- "Mike - don't let me go yet. I'm waiting for you..."
- "SOMEBODY SAVE ME"
- "Fuck the zombies."
- "Crazy Bob sits directly across from me and I wonder if he'll sprint out."
- "Yes it means I'm free."

I have posted a ton of new pictures from my second day at Notre Dame. You can find them here.

More from me soon on a deeper level with less practical and photographic updates.

Peace,
Sam
