Less than a week until we leave, Lord willing! This time Makoto is coming back with us, along with the much anticipated Erik O'Dell. It should be fun, though the house will be crowded with Mr. and Miss Simon staying there as well.
I have two major tasks I'm trying to accomplish before the break. The first is to read a 400 page book on the Civil War in American memory for this first 50 post war years. Of course, a paper is attached to it. I actually really enjoy studying the Civil War in American memory. I read a book called Confederates in the Attic last semester for a history class, and that re-kindled my interest in the Civil War. So this assignment, while somewhat substantial, should be interesting.
The second task is to complete an open book Apologetics test. It is also a group test, so I only have to answer one substantial question. Our group does have to discuss it all quite thoroughly though. This particular section of the course has been brutal. It has been on the history of apologetics/philosophy, and my head wants to explode. Philosophy is definitely a weak point of mine. After the break we have a 75 minute presentation to do on Open Theism. 45 minutes to present, and 30 minutes Q&A. Aaaaarrghhh!!!
Funny, I didn't think I had anything to say for this blog.

Wow, the apologetics course sounds intense. 75 minute presentation...yikes.
man, you are making me rethink the whole college thing. maybe i'll just "take calligraphy and then i'll make a fake degree" (relient k)
i don't know why civil war doesn't interest me all that much. i love history, and the civil war is interesting, but it just doesn't grab me like it does some people. for me it's more middle ages and renaissance stuff.
And I'm working on a 10 min. apolo. presentation for tomorrow a.m. 75 min. is longer than some teacher's lectures!!!! Outrageous!
