While the chemistry Nels proposed was way to complicated for me to understand, I could distinctly see its beauty. I thought that the analysis of beauty and science and how the two are intermingled, separate and in some ways halfway in between. I wonder how his scholarship application will go.

The Bizz/Jenny painting was fantastic! As was their face paints. Bizz brought out such an interesting discussion on the intricacies of the human mind in its function and dysfunction. Who would have thought that the mind can work better when it isn't working than when it is. As for Jenny, I had no idea there were so many different kinds of chess! And to think that they all can relate back to a novel is really astounding.
