It's a bad sign when you get a partial order for your school books, and it reads this:

Although, I'd be the first to admit that if Quatto pitched, it'd be much, much cooler. #totalrecall #springtraining

I see what you did there, C.S. Lewis.

2009-10-25T22:31:00.000-07:00

“…You cannot go on ‘explaining away’ forever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on ‘seeing through’ things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. It is good that the window is transparent, because the street or garden beyond is opaque. How if you saw through the garden too?… a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To ‘see through’ all things is the same as not to see.”

—	C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man.

Coming Back to Me Now

2009-10-19T09:48:00.001-07:00

(Picture stolen courtesy of churchcrunch.com)

This is all coming back to me know.. My manic relationship with formal education. Three weeks into Grad School, and there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth. I straddle the line of enlightenment and insanity, with the hopes that the ends justify the means. A simple Pro/Con list should illustrate my current feelings about this four year commitment:

Pros:

Engaging in critical thought

Challenging insight from other perspectives

I like getting smarter

Good teachers = good relationships

Larger network

Cons:

Rules

Grading based on performance, not on application and implementation

Memorizing

Rules

Tedious busy work

Forced community

Rules

For what its worth, I'm glad to be back in it. Reminds me of when I worked full-time at Yarnells Ice Cream company, and took 15 hours one year while at Harding.

Dr. James Allen, Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Chair of Egyptology and Ancient Western Asian Studies at Brown University—the man who gave the first indication that themysterious four-toed statue was not Anubis, as many had assumed, but Taweret, the half-hippo, half-croc Egyptian goddess who protected mothers and infants. Allen had this to say about the poster: “The hieroglyphs spell out two Egyptian words, meaning ‘Who is the guide?’ or ‘Who is the leader?’”
//ARGH!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!
