I feel as though there is an effort in the part of all you long-gone people spread about the country, in places such as minnesota and florida, not to mention central, to forget the place that you left behind. ( a.k.a. Michigan) I put forth as evidence the lack of posting by such people as you. Although i have talked to Jennifer, the mysteries of seminary and ave maria are still um enigmas. So on behalf of all of us bored LCC people , please post before i go crazy. I have nothing to do but sit in the dimly lit and slightly funny smelling ( according to Rachael) computer lab and make stupid posts about nothing...
Speaking of nothing i think that i will make you all read g k chesterton's essay on chalk...

ha ha, unpostliness. that smell is the aroma, the essence if you will, of technology. there are some that just can't stand it.
hey, i'm reading chesterton, did i tell u that? "the wisdom of fr. brown"
no you didn't, that's awesome! ( you have to love him, you're not allowed not to)
kenric, technology needs deoderant.
Sarah what an ingenious idea! They should make a technology scented deoderant.
Well Sarah, I just got done responding to your e-mail. I've been on retreat since Tuesday so I haven't really been here long anyway. Things are going well though. I have a great roommate who is in to St. Therese, so that pumped me up. Also, Fr. Baer is currently teaching us new guys the art of a productive holy hour. It's awesome. He's currently working on our meditation skills which includes reading, for example, a verse in the bible, connecting it to similar verses, and gathering Christ's full teaching on, say, chastity. It's quite amazing. Let's say you are studying the beatitudes. Well, you take the first one, "blessed are the poor in spirit, for their's is the kingdom of heaven." You break down the sentence and note what stands out. For example, this beatitude must, in some way, carry a higher significance because Christ chose to mention it first. Also, Christ used the posessive, "their's", which, as you can probably gather is quite a statement when speaking about heaven. Anyway, I'm kind of rambling on so I will stop.
ahh that's awesome. i think that i commission you to post something like that on a regular basis...ok? and adam that is not what i meant lol ( yuck ewwwwwwww gross)
Adam, that is a great idea. I love that smell of new electronics.
u guys r hopeless.....
But I STILL love technology... Always and forever
Gomer has the right idea
Well, this is my second post since I got here (Florida), so I'll try to recap my current situation.
I got here safely(duh) and I've been in classes for about a week. There is a ton of reading to do for each class. For instance, I have 9 books of the Iliad to read every week, for the next three weeks or so. That translates to more than 100 pages a week. Than I have to study Latin, which is not too bad right now, but there is a decent amount of memorazation (spelling error). Than History is a lot of reading, about 50 pages or so. Than there is Math. My easiest class so far, about all of the homework we have for that class is to read a intranet(not internet, Kenric you should understand this) site our teacher made. That about covers the basics of schoolwork.
On to my social life(ha, ha, ha, I kill me!, social life). My roommates are very cool, and as I spend most of my life in my room I see them the most. Their names are, Meguiel (I hope i came close), Trystan, and Tim. Meguiel is by far the oldest of us all. He is 23 and this is his first year here. He wants to become a Theologian, and me and have had many long argumentsover a broad range of topics. Trystan is a homeschooler and is very bright. He is often involved in arguments in our room as well, though, lately he has not been isn the room very much. Mostly because he talks to his girlfriend over the internet alot. Tim rounds out our band. He is a Lit major. He tends to be quieter than the rest of us, when we get into discussions, but he still jumps in often. And we have had many discussion of our own, because we are the ones who go to sleep the earliest. As you can see we talk a lot in our room, and I'm learning a lot from all of them.
Finaly, on the rest of the college. The food here is very good. Whoever says that cafeteria food sucks has not eaten at Ave Maria. At noon and six everyone says the Angelus. Everyone in the cafeteria will stop eating, and pray. The campus is very small, maybe three blocks from one end to the other, and perhaps a block wide. Those three blocks can seem like mile when you have to walk from one side of campus to the other in the heat of the midday sun, and when the humidity makes you feel as though you are breathing sand.
Well, that is my experience at Ave Maria so far. I will try to keep up on the blog as much as posible, with my homework and the play I'm helping with. Sorry this post is so long, but that is as brief as I could be and explain things.
u know john... u can make your own posts on this blog by going to blogger.com haha. i'm reading the illiad too.. but i only have to read 5 books and move on to plato. we are working on a new book every week.
Maybe Trystan is the next Kip.
Maybe only Fowler High School's lunches are bad.
Trystan is not as dorky as Kip.
sweetness, now i want to go to a real college. that's great that you got good roommates
I was thinking the same thing Tom.
It's cool to be here. You guys should come.
Kenric, great minds do think alike.
John, Trystan doesn't wear glasses, then?
Sarah, he has good roommates, never use "got" if you are to write a paper. Ok, I am a jerk. Good bye for now.
John, get MSN, we are on at the same time.
Tom, Trystan does not wear glasses. He is also not as skinny as Kip.
I'll get MSN soon, but I don't know how often I'll be on. I have to use my laptop, and my room does not always get a good wireless signal. So I may have to come to the common roms to talk, which I don't do very often.
I want to, you know why I can't, though.
Refering to John's second to last comment.
Wow John, I should have read this post earlier. Great things happening. But you know LCC is still awesome. I haven't seen Mrs. Dutkewitz yet, I miss her classes.
I wish I could visit you in Fl. What play are you working on?
Any tips for my paper? It doeesn't matter, I wont check this again until Tuesday anyway.
These are the times this blog really comes in handing. Keep us posted! (haha...no pun intended!)
