And some of these doodles, I thought, were pretty good. So right after I graduated in January, 1987, I went through my surviving lecture notebooks and clipped those little bits which I wanted to save from the pages. Most of the doodles came from notebooks for classes I took in 1986 in order to get enough credits to graduate, but were not part of my major academic requirements. As such, I chucked the notebooks and kept the doodles, using tape to array them on a piece of paper into the goofy collage you see below.

I know, this ain’t hall-of-fame art. But there are still some cool ideas here, the products of a younger man’s brain. I’m glad I kept them. This and my diploma are the two most valuable pieces of paper I took from college.
