Luigi Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 [quote name='Amppax' timestamp='1318863179' post='2322660'] Prospectuses (prospecti?) are the dumbest things ever. Write a paper about the paper you are going to write! [/quote] The idea is that writing the prospectus helps you focus your thesis better. It also allows the prof to see where you're going before you go there - if you're heading in the wrong direction, the prof can redirect you. Additionally, the prof might be able to provide you with some other resources you're not aware of, or offer some suggestions on related questions to consider, etc....

FutureSister2009 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Today we had pet a puppy day. It's a perfect stress reliever. We need to have it every day. School would be a better place if we had puppies every day. They are adorable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaPetiteSoeur Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have to rewrite a paper on Antigone. PLEASE DEAR LORD LET THIS BE MY LAST PAPER ON ANTIGONE. That's all I really want at the moment. I'm so sick of Creon and Antigone and Ismene and Haemon... In other fun news, I only have one more midterm! Once Wednesday is done, I only have one more French redaction and an oral exam to prepare for for the next month! And I get to go see the coast for a class over Halloween weekend!!! And now I'm teaching religious education for high schoolers....I went from helping with the youngest to the oldest. This should be fun. My two day vacation at home was wonderful, aside from the new parish. My priest friend (NOW A MONSIGNOR!!!) came to visit me two weeks ago for a day and he got to eat some local food for the first time. I like college even more now. I just hate Antigone!

missionseeker Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 just glory in the fact that she was sacrificed, and it'll be good, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) That sounds like the beginning of a thesis to me! Antigone as a pagan type of Jesus... Christians who sacrifice themselves for the good of others (or the faith?), such as the martyrs, are held up as examples of the fullness of faith... whereas those who are sacrificed without making a conscious choice, such as Antigone, are held up as examples of ????... the role of free will in self-sacrifice... and then you can conclude with something about your own martyrdom - a slow, unrelentingly painful execution - by writing yet about analysis of Antigone.... ?

AudreyGrace Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 [quote name='Amppax' timestamp='1318864888' post='2322674'] Yep B is going MOS (short of some catastrophic change), and is a little bummed. She's looked at it, and she probably won't get in until next year. And yes, SOS. I'm not intenting until after Fall Break (at least). There are reasons for that. [/quote] ah. i actually know someone who plans on intenting with sos this week or next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out it's due Thursday, not Today, so that makes me very, very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
