Homework Thread

[Chrysophylax]

There is a "working out" thread, but I'm busy with school stuff and [s]do[/s] [b]don't[/b] want to be distracted, so I am making a homework thread where I can say "I am currently working on my English Literature, Macroeconomics, and Philosophy classes. Blargh." Sigh...

reading...

typing and quizes...

Yes this is now the mental "work out" thread. Come join me!

[Slappo]

i see what you did there

[i<3franciscans]

Working on not drowning in my Gov. class homework...

[LittleWaySoul]

I should be reading the Iliad and various other books, writing an article on the New Evangelization, doing French,.... :/

[AnneLine]

Way to go, Chrysophylax! English Lit and Philosphy sound great; Macroeconomics sounds like a penance!

I teach the formation class for my Secular Order community, and we have homework, too... I've been putting off doing it.... thank you for the reminder! John of the Cross.... is just... brilliant but hard to get into!!!!

We're trudging up the Ascent of Mt. Carmel and the Dark Night.... and a commentry on St. John of the Cross by Fr. Iain Matthew,OCD: The Impact of God: Soundings from St. John of the Cross.

We're also reading [i]Finding Sanctuary[/i] by Abbot Christopher Jamison, OSB [i] [/i](FANTASTIC book!) to be sure we keep up some prayer and spirituality in the midst of all that heavy theo....

Hard work, but well worth doing....

Hey, I am currently reading that book too! It is super good, one of those books where I started reading and instantly thought to myself, "This book was written for [u]me[/u]!"

Looking ahead to next week: Three quizzes, two assignments, and 1 essay. Plus about 200 pages of reading (collectively, though, not just from 1 class.)
I suppose I should get started...

[Spem in alium]

My homework...

Linguistics: Watch a video on feral children. Watch a video on linguistic savants. Do about a billion grammar exercises.

Medieval History: Write a paper on whether or not[i] Da Vinci Code [/i]is a historically accurate book.

Philosophy: Write something about something else. THIS IS KILLING ME.

Theology: Read part of [i]God's Beauty Parlour and other qwerty spaces in and around the Bible. [/i]The instructions my prof gave for how much we need to read are to "stop at the Breast Pump". Looking forward to that...

[/quote]

Yep, that would be my answer to #2. We have to source a specific chapter and discuss if it portrays the Council of Nicaea accurately. I read it and compared it to the primary sources. No link whatsoever, as far as I could tell.

For Phil, I actually need to write about freedom and determinism. Incorporating the phamily would be cool, I'll try it!

[AnneLine]

Impressed with what everyone is doing!!!!

Had 2nd phone Appt last night -- my students aren't doing their homework! GRRRR!

(But they're getting the material, so I'm not really complaining....!)

Now need to work on conference for next Friday. Pray for me as I do for all of you!

[i<3franciscans]

Still working on Government. I am never ever ever getting a job that has anything to do with it.

[Chrysophylax]

Just finished my evil English homework. Now I need to study for tomorrows Philosophy quiz and hopefully still have time to see about that extra credit for History.
I can do this! ....





I want to go to bed...

[AnneLine]
