First week down. Too quickly, if you can believe that :-p

Things today were good. I continue to enjoy Flaubert's Parrot, even if it's such a strange post-modern/anti-novel that that's all we talk about in British novel, and I'd like more in-depth/just more other criticism of the book. Then I ran to Deg (brisk walk really, but everything's brisk in ( Read more... )

So, today was strangely kind of fun, reflecting back on it :-p I spent most of it immersed in my Shakespeare paper, where I got to write about masculine anxiety which results in the oppression of women and hyper-masculine acting out which usually means violence, and all of this leads to a social disorder which disrupts the patriarchy. Score :-p It ( Read more... )

I was busy and pretty productive today. Hebrew final went well, then I ran (not really) over to St Pius in the bitter bitter cold for the noon Mass. Which was really good, actually, to round out the day and I got a good chance to say goodbye to Father Ted and wish him a good Christmas. Plus some of the Marian hymns are my favorite so I got a chance ( Read more... )

We had the Rite of Acceptance for the RCIA class this morning. Early early, and freezing cold out :-p But it was good. I stood in for Bobbie's sponsor who couldn't make it, so I even felt useful and stuff ( Read more... )

That ^ refers to my very sketchy theology that I was thinking about last night :-p I was walking home from RCIA - normally someone (everyone) offers me a ride but it didn't work out like that last night. Which was fine, I like walking :-p Anyway, it was unusually warm out, but very very foggy and dark. So I'm walking down the road, can hardly see, ( Read more... )

Since we haven't got Greek all this week, and really, who else is there to impress?
lol jk, I love my class but I am not in love with it. Them. Whatever

Today was both relaxing and productive. However that works. I decided to skip St Thomas Aquinas, despite promising him and God both that I'd work on something theological every Sunday etc. Sorry, God ( Read more... )

So, the highlight of today was having dinner with a couple of seriously wonderful people. Me and Jess and Jordan went to dinner after the Lit Club meeting, had a good time. I realized that I've been complaining and whiny, like, a lot recently, so that will be tempered from here on out, but they listened and were sympathetic and helpful <3 And just ( Read more... )

I spent most of today hating everyone :-p I did get my schedule figured out though! I went and met with Dr Martin first. Learned that Intro to Religious Studies now counts toward a 100-level Contemporary Issues class (instead of a 100-level history class, which it had been listed under), which is good in that I was able to cross off US Religions ( Read more... )

Look at me, I ought to become a Jewish Studies minor :-p

Anyway, it was for this reason that we didn't have religious fundamentalism this morning, so I got to sleep in. Had a leisurely lunch, then went to Shakespeare where class was not quite canceled, but we did just watch Kenneth Branagh's version of Much Ado About Nothing. So my Tuesday, compared ( Read more... )
