i’m praying that the cd gets to jon tomorrow. i miss having my fox online.

ok… it’s major crunch week so i may not be putting too many entries up (or at least really detailed ones) until the 19th. i have my anthro final done and i’m attempting to get a few pages of my mme paper done tonight. after that, it’s all about my senior seminar paper. pray for me since i’m at the point of losing my mind. oh yes… this is what i learned from the children’s sermon at messiah today: safeway-brand tuxedos have more filling than oreos do.

ok… hoping to get my anthro paper and my mme paper done this weekend. i think i will have to shrink the font on the anthro paper because it needs to be under 12 pages and i’m at 10 right now without discussing the eucharist.

is it bad that i have no idea what to give up for lent? especially since today *is* ash wednesday.

attn seattlites: are you guys ok? if you write and tell me your stories, i’ll post them on here. 🙂 (hint: let me know you are out there and reading my journal.)

well… we actually had a decent speaker in my anthro class. brant secunda was awesome but the other speaker on religion and drugs was just the pits. today’s speaker was stuart schelgel who is a former anthropology professor from ucsc and an episcopal priest. he talked about his experiences with the teduray peoples. it was incredibly interesting and the person i mentioned on friday kept his mouth shut.

this quarter is going by soooooo fast… my senior seminar paper is due in 3 weeks and finals are just as close!!! i’m chilling this weekend and grading senior seminar rough drafts, downloading jeff foxworthy mp3’s and marty haugen stuff. marty is pretty good and i find it funny that this lutheran-turned ucc composer is the most sung one in the catholic church. (sorry if i shattered anyone’s world view.) ok… an earthquake just hit. is this a sign of something?

i think that one guy in my anthro class only wants to hear the sound of his voice. he kept debating me over the Biblical standards of purity even though i answered his question and he knew NOTHING about what he was saying. there *is* no strata in christianity of when purity changes. it’s in the scriptures and he’d know it if he had bothered to read them before he started debating me. attn santa cruz non-believers: why don’t you *read* the Bible before you try to deconstruct it. you *might* actually learn something.

i had a lovely talk with veronica today. we talked about a lot of religious studies classes and she asked me about experiences in various classes. she is such a wonderful listener and she really has a good sense of God.

my papers are in. wooo hoooo!!!! my ankle is getting better. i had to limp down to mme to turn in a paper. it was pouring rain and thunder and lightning were going full blast. it was a nice view from inside but going out was nasty. then it turned all nice and sunny. what is up with that???? bonnie, you can’t choose how people will react but you can choose how you react to people.
