Taking Stock: A List of Tasks
Since this is "my" blog (cf. the site's URL), it has sometimes been noted that I am the only person who can "get away with" this type of post. I don't think this is quite accurate. We're already running the supposedly "academic blog" with the least academic content, and I think we need to take the next step: a group LiveJournal for grad students and other closely associated blogging-related entities.Currently Listening: Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Master and Everyone
Mood: Melancholy
Here's what I would like to have done by the time I go to bed tonight:
- Summarize Tales of Love by Julia Kristeva for the 20th Century Theology seminar. This could quite possibly be the last summary I ever have to write for any class, ever again in my life -- but somehow that doesn't make it any easier to get started.
Read the assigned section from Augustine in Latin -- it's kind of long this time.DONE! It was long, but it was also easy. Partly that's because I've totally mastered the vocabulary -- pater, filius, spiritus sanctus, esse, subsistere... and that's about it.- Read Gaia and God by Rosemary Radford Ruether, or at least most of it.
- Write a paper, or most of a paper, on Ruether's feminist fundamentalism and its implications for Christology
- Write a paper on Augustine's De Trinitate
- Write a paper for 20th Century Theology -- probably over something Trinity-related.
- Finish the damn Nancy directed study
- Write a review of The Parallax View for JCRT
Daydreaming about the future is a lot more fun than actually doing anything in the present a lot of times.
