Its the end of the world as we know it…
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007I don’t think REM was entirely correct. It\’s not *really* the end of the world as we know it. Yet here we are at another exam week. It’s so hard to put into words just how fast the past four semesters have flown (and simultaneously overwhelming to think of the four semesters I have left!). Thus in the midst of the craziness of classes, papers, etc., my post will undoubtedly reflect the madness of my life right now.
However, I have been meaning to share what I’ve read on the world wide web (who actually calls it that anymore?) for some time now. Two sites spring to mind:
1) http://www.youngwomenandcatholicism.blogspot.com/
A few weeks ago, in an effort to distract myself from writing a midterm, I stumbled (literally) across this blog. I instantly forwarded it to a bunch of my girlfriends, but so far as I know I’m the only one who submitted an essay. Dare I say that this was the most challenging non-academic “thing” I’d ever written. It truly forced me to put into words what I’ve taken for granted most of my life- my faith.
2) http://www.ksdom.org/2007%20pix/800th.pdf and http://www.800.op.org/
The first link is to the Dominican Sisters of Great Bend, Kansas. It was brought to my attention in our weekly Aquinas E-Newsletter. Today, May 1, is the first of the 15 Tuesdays in honor of St. Dominic. I’ve printed out my prayer booklet and must admit that I’m very excited! And the second link is for all those interested in the 800th Jubilee.
Prayers for all others going through academic madness. Prayers especially for those who are graduating!
