Skool Daze …
I actually got up at 8:30 this morning!!! Fancy that…
I had my first class of my Summer Studies this morning. It is called Comparative Cultures Anth 272. We are studying the Ethnography of the Andean (Huichol) (Inca) and the Mexican (Aztec) civilizations based on religious systems and practices.
It seems interesting and the Prof has a witty sense of humor. So we shall see how this pans out. I am glad that there are no “papers” for this class just a midterm and a final exam on the 13th of June.
The photo above is of the Mayan Ruins at Tulum, near the port city of Playa Del Carmen. We actually went to these ruins on the cruise we took for our honeymoon to Mexico in 2004. These ruins sit on a cliff that has the most spectacular beach I have ever seen.
I’m going to miss tonight’s Theology class because of a scheduling conflict with a meeting I am chairing tonight and that I have two speakers to set up. Oh well…
more later…
theology class, brings my college years back to mind. i once had a theology class where the professor (a catholic priest) once was talking about the pope and how the pope is holy and is the direct link to god, yadda yadda. innocent me asks a question, isn’t the pope a man, and man is fallible, and therefore can make mistakes? professor turned purple and started ranting about the holiness of the pope and that he is basically infallible, etc etc. needless to say, i thought i was going to flunk the class and get excommunicated at the same time. thank god he didn’t flunk me, but i did get a C.
