I answered some questions for the school newspaper, since I (among others) am leaving next year for other ventures. They wanted to know if I had any words of wisdom. I thought about it, and here’s what I’ve got:

2) Don’t fear ambiguity. Relish it.
3) When in doubt, the main character symbolizes Christ.
