Topic: Every day is an adventure
-met w/ a professor of architecture, actually, he’s more of an artist. runs courses that give students a tour of st. louis, and teaches urban youth about art. Extremely outspoken about the politics of Wash U. Can’t stand conservative intellectuals who try to ram their agenda down students throats, and control the curriculum so that it meets their own interests, not the students.
-began work at the campus book store. pushed my book a bit, made 2 sales. first time working at a register, actually an exciting experience, although it would grow old if i did it for too long. 3 hours a day is fine by me.
-taking part in a symposium on sat. on student apathy
-working to get a special column in the school paper to highlight my project
-giants beat cleveland yesturday!!!
-apparently, there’s a whole world of professors who want to support what i’m doing here, so i have pleanty more meetings to look forward to
-on thur. will be attending a class discussing “education reform” will be interesting to learn about what i’m actually doing, and to see students learning about it but not doing it

see if you can work some of the education faculty, maybe they can use your book in courses.
