Entry #5

So these past few class sessions for each discipline I feel like I have been learning more than I have thus far in the course. I am learning to appreciate things that I didn't think about before. Like in Religious Studies we are learning about some aspects of Tibetan Buddhism, and I have in all honesty never even realized that there were different types of Buddhism. Also we are reading their "Book of the Dead" it's not easy but I don't want to give up I think it's important for me to finish it and try my best to comprehend it.

In English we have effectively kicked the dead horse with this whole "Doubt" situation, but I was impressed that Russ could explain to me in a way that I clearly understood it why he was doing this and how it's not to torture but to teach.

I love love love Journalism class. This turning point assignment is really interesting I love how challenging it is. It's my kind of assignment just because I love working on it. I am realizing that as cliche as it sounds everyone does have a story that can break your heart.

Entry #4

So this week in Truth in Society we are getting a little more intense. The assignments are a pretty tough. I am learning lots from them, I wish I knew of an effective way to communicate that. I am presently working on an Aquinas assignment. When I get a chance I will elaborate.

Entry #3

This week in Truth in Society we finished our discussion on the Rwandan genocide and we split off into our individual disciplines. I like the split classes I find them more interesting then when we were together as a group. I liked how we had some really interesting discussions and I liked Russ' first assignment. We had to read about 1/3 or so of the play Doubt. The next night I went and saw it, I thought that the acting was fantastic and it was a real struggle to decide 'who do I believe?' In the end I believe that Father Flynn was innocent and that the nun who accused him acted to quickly and without evidence.
