Journal

Sunny southern California is having major rain storms, for the past 5-6 days consistently, and I’m loving it! Let’s see, I turned in my book review and a revision of my historical question/thesis, and the professor’s response? Basically, it’s not quite there, keep trying. Oh well, that I will do! I have several articles on the Middle East, gender, sexuality and the regulation of sexuality and how this regulation relates to power- which is my topic. I will read these over the weekend- mainly Sunday-Tuesday. I also have to read, The Rule of Saint’s Benedict and write a 3 page analysis. This paper is for my history of religion in the middle of age class, the middle east paper is for my intro to historical research class. So I have a lot of reading till Tuesday. I also want to have the first draft of the Middle ages paper completed and perhaps have someone at the writing center proof it. I’ve been up since 4am, it’s 9:30am now reading The Rule of Saint Benedict- well reading, writing, taking notes and so on. Actually, I woke up at 3:30ish, meditation and just spent a little quiet time in spirit. After spending a little more time with Saint Benedict, I’ll either take a knap and go workout or go workout and come back and take a knap.
