Spring Break in Kentucky

I spent my spring break in David, Kentucky volunteering at an alternative school. It was a week of growth and a week of fun.


A friend...thinking...

Ryan and Stephanie had a wheel barrow race while we moved a tree that had fallen down...

Ryan won in the end because Stephanie hit a rock...

One of my besties, Kelsey...

Cartwheels...

More Cartwheels...

The trees have started to bloom...spring is on its way...

Winterm

This Winterm I am taking Art Structure, which has proven to be a lot of fun! Today we took simple paintings that we did yesterday and added texture to them. I learned a lot of great new techniques! Tomorrow we have to make a book out of all the techniques we learned throughout the week! I am sooo excited!

A Lit. Class Taught by a Nun?

I have registered for my Spring 2009 classes. It feels great to think that my college career is winding down. One year left and the last half of the year will hopefully be in Ireland! One of the last required courses that I need to take is literature. I am working part time, which means that the only lit class I could fit comfortably in my schedule was a Wednesday night lit course taught my a nun. I do not have anything against nuns. I respect the commitment that they have made to their faith. I personally couldn't do it. I just am seriously concerned about the type of books I am going to have to read. It isn't a topical class, so it is whatever the prof picks. I am seeing titles like "Devotions of St. Mary of Cape Town" pass through my head! What non-Edgewood College people do not understand is that the nuns here are not typical nuns. They are liberal Dominican nuns. This causes a little more concern. How can I say that I disagree on a moral level with someone who have devoted their whole life to something. It will be very hard. My hope is that maybe she will pick guilty pleasure books that have nothing to do with religion and nothing to do with Dominican values. There isn't anything wrong with wishful thinking. Right? Whatever this class ends up being...I am sure it is going to be a character building experience.
