Nicolai shared his life-size, abstract body map with the family this evening. He completed this self-portrait for his Rivers and Revolutions class, an avant-garde program that has had a profound effect on him, impacting his perspectives on both college and career. Students started by tracing their outline and adding the outline of a loved one which they then embellished with iconography of personal significance. The photo suffers from excessive glare and does not do the original justice.

My indoor soccer season started this evening and with my various injuries healed I was feeling unstoppable and was able to find the back of the net three times. We led for the entire match but had to settle for a 4-4 tie as our endurance waned in the closing minutes. We had one sub to their five which made all the difference.
