Just Google "TAC"

Ah, the wonders of Google! In one of my I-really-should-write-that-Hegel-paper-but-I-think-I'll-kill-time-doing-nothing moments I checked out Google's new blog search. Well I did what any self-respecting person would do, I blog-googled "Thomas Aquinas College" (and no, blog-googling "porn" is not what self respecting people do!). Well I found out all sorts of fun stuff. Like who else has blogs and suchuff. But the following two really caught my ete.

This comes from 'El Blog De Cruz y Fierro' who says,


En la 5ª posición encontramos al Thomas Aquinas College de Santa Paula (en California). Sobre el límite del Parque Nacional “Los Padres”, esta universidad es “el retiro perfecto... para ocuparse de la ‘gravitas’ de Tomás de Aquino”. Se dicta una única carrera: bachillerato (equivalente a nuestra licenciatura) en Artes Liberales. El plan consiste en un mínimo de 146 horas de matemática, filosofía, lenguas extranjeras, teología, ciencias y música. Los graduados suelen proseguir sus estudios, especializándose con éxito en las más diversas profesiones, en las principales universidades de los Estados Unidos y Europa.


Who Knew?

Also, I found a blog called 'Wanderings of my Mind' published by Kate. Now Kate is a freshmen this year, and she is full of that 'enthusiasm for the program'. I mention her because I found her comments on Don Rags funny. Where have I heard this before?


...well, it's just kind of tricky to explain unless you get the whole TAC works. Basically, I need to answer the opening question more, talk more in the first twenty minutes of class. What I'm doing well on is I'm really good with Latin, I'm approaching math with a quirky attitude the tutor apparently (I was surprised) likes and wants me to keep up, I'm thinking about theology with the right heart and mind, my seminar tutor said I need to constantly participate in the whole of seminar, not drift in and out, but that I really get the spirit of characters that the text is trying to say, my lab tutor said that I ask a lot of excellent questions, but I need to join the rest of the class in clarifying what the actual readings are saying more. . .and my philosophy tutor was sick, so I don't know how I'm doing there.So there, full story on the Don Rags before ye.


My favorites:

'I need to answer the opening question more'
'I'm approaching with a quirky attitude'
'my seminar tutor said I need to constantly participate in the whole of seminar, not drift in and out'
'I need to join the rest of the class in clarifying what the actual readings are saying more'
'my philosophy tutor was sick'

Ah, the memories.

Reading over my last few post I have vowed to stop posting when drunk.

We all have had that problem it is like the drunk/dial syndrome, only that is worse. Still I found it amusing.

The crazy thing is that with all that Latin I remember, *cough* I could nearly read that spanish quote which is pretty sweet.

Also, I am throughly disturbed by the picture above.

Lastly, what about in vino veritas
