Final Fall 2010 Schedule, Other things

Okay, nerdy people, the final version of my Fall 2010 schedule is up and available in my sidebar.
Sorry for falling behind on responding to comments and other discussions around the Web. We just got back from our trip to Washington state yesterday morning (I went 32 hours without any sleep), my classes started last [...]

Work Crunch

My ST 5102 (Theology II: Christ, Man, Sin & Salvation) paper is due on Wednesday, May 12 with the final being held the same day. I’m aiming to have my CH 8000 (Christianity in Colonial America) classwork in by Tuesday, May 11—yes, I am quite the slacker for putting it off for this long—and my [...]

Tentative Fall 2010 & Spring 2011 Schedules

I have drafts of my schedules for the remainder of my graduate degree.
Notes on my Fall 2010 schedule:

Three of my four professors are egalitarians.
I’m taking an independent study reading class on Mormon studies, currently putting together a curriculum for it. I’ve cribbed some syllabi from the Claremont Graduate School of Religion Mormon studies courses to [...]

Utah Trip, Day 7 & 9

Day 7 – Thursday
We drove north to Centerville to help with a church plant there called The Bridge Community. Currently the church is just a small group of families meeting in the pastor’s house. We went around door-to-door handing out fliers advertising the services and Bible studies there, so I guess I got a little [...]

Utah Trip, Day 5

Day 5 – Tuesday
On Tuesday morning, we got up and drove out to Salt Lake City to Sandra Tanner’s bookstore. I interviewed her for a paper I’m working on for one of my classes.
Then we headed to Cafe Rio for lunch. I had been prodding the group to try the food while we were out [...]

Things keeping me busy

I feel like I’ve been fairly neglectful of this blog (and neglectful of blog comments here) lately. Here’s what’s been keeping me busy though:

I’m working on a paper proposal for the 2010 Conference on Faith and History biennial conference. I don’t want to tip my hand on the subject of my proposal, but it will [...]

Book Notes, 1/20/10 – 1/26/10

This may becomeĀ  a permanent [lame] feature on my blog so long as I’m in school. It screams “I’m desperate for content but too lazy to write anything original, so I’ll just blog about the boring stuff that I’m doing day in and day out.” Then again, someone out there may actually be interested to [...]
