Year Four

2014 to 2015
After two years studying psychology at UCLA, Marcie decided to transfer to MCAD, an art school in Minneapolis, so that she could study animation. Now that we were living in the same city again, we visited each other every weekend. Usually, we spent time at the UMN because Marcie's roommates at MCAD were always naked (for art). It was a happy year for us—we were used to being apart for months at a time, but now we finally had the chance to be a normal couple.

We spent long summer evenings together in Richard T. Anderson Park.
Two local news reporters goaded us to climb behind the frozen Minnehaha Falls. They filmed us and promised that we’d be on TV later that night. When we tuned in, we learned that the story was about “young criminals breaking the law.” That day forever shattered our faith in journalism—and perhaps even in America itself.
