Thou art my one and only hope,
great comfort close to me.
I find no joy apart from Thee,
no peace from one material thing.
Thy love aboundeth every day,
I receive it, then I give away,

although my heart is stained,
Yet your grace shall cover all my sin,

During the first week at the American University of Paris (AUP), students held a “club fair” reminiscent of the huge Club Fest at NYU. Instead of the Coles Sports Center, the AUP club fair was squeezed into a twenty by twenty university bar. After signing my name under the “Knitting Club,” the “Japan Club,” and the “Salsa …
