The past is a foreign country. We should take a trip back every once in a while.
Wish my classrooms looked like this.
Alright, so you’ll have 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the exam. Please leave the classroom directly after finishing the exam. We’ll have an official 15 minute break and I expect everyone back in class at 5:45 to learn about chapter 8 for the remainding 90 minutes of class.
Cross Training
My Irish catholic teacher from Boston is an expert in Hebrew. Her Irish catholic husband teaches a class on Jewish history and tradition at a Presbyterian seminary in Hyde Park. One if his co-workers is a Jewish woman who teaches a course on the Catholic new testament. Her husband is a rabbi. I think he tutors at an Amish school.
Small, crazy world.
Theology Class
In his student days, St. Benedict “invented” a way to overcome lust, by practicing self-abuse.
Interesting fact I learned today.
Last week I learned that in order to separate themselves from early Christians the Jews deleted any books of the Bible being used to teach Christian followers, including the book of the Bible containing the story of Hanukah. Who knew?
And according to more strict Jews are currently in the year 5770. Today is the second day in the month of Adar.
I find it all very interesting. However the first part about St. Benedict frightens me.
Substitute Teacher
My prof for law class will be absent this Thursday and instead of cancelling class like a nice guy, we still have to come. Our substitute, you ask? He taped himself giving a lecture on intro to contractual law and the dean will be here to take attendance. Am I in fifth grade? Not only does he promise the info will be on the exam, but he will not go over it again in person. Also he thinks he should get an Oscar for his role, because he paused the appropriate amount of time for our laughing at his jokes as well as inserted general, probable questions he thought we might have, in what he describes as a student like voice. What’s funny about all this, he’s completely serious. Lord help me in my hour of need.
Can I um get um a break?
I possibly have the worst professor I’ve ever had. Not because he’s stupid, or mean or a bad teacher (I haven’t had the opportunity to know that yet). He’s possibly the worse teacher I’ve ever had because he speaks slower, with more monotone, and with more uh’s than any other PERSON I’ve met before. I don’t think I can even translate what he’s trying to say. Here comes my F.
Daily Grind
Back in school again. Hope it leads to some funny quotes like last semester. I need something to pass the time. It’s two hours of intro to bible. All I can think is twelve years of catholic school all over again. Ugh.
