Getting ready to graduate!

Okay, so I'm graduating LSU... like next week.  (BA: English--Creative Writing).  I have my American History final this evening, then I have my Performance Lit final tomorrow afternoon, and finally final Judaism final Friday at 12:30... which thankfully I just have to write 5 take-home essays on different topics.  I had to write a speech to give to Vespasian (presuming I was Yohanan Ben Zakkai) during the siege of Jerusalem.  I'm working on my "Describe the five sects of Judaism in the first century and tell which sect you would belong to and why."  I just finished describing the sects... and I don't know which to pick (I'm eliminating Nazarenes because that's just too obvious.)  I don't think I could be an Essene because they were generally celibate... no marriage!  I couldn't be a Sadducee because they were Roman lapdogs... traitors!  Zealots?  Fight Rome just because you should!  Ehh... they were pretty mean to other Jews too.  I guess I'd be a Pharisee, a little more mainstream, believing that God cares about every part of your life, etc.  The Essenes and Nazarenes did too... but the Essenes didn't marry... and that's not forward thinking if you ask me.

 

In other news, it's my last day to work at the library.  HOORAY!  I'm so sick of this basement... I mean, it's been great.  I love all the ladies I worked with... but it's time to move on to new things.  Hopefully I'll be teaching high school this fall.  But we shall see... we shall see.

 

Commencement is May 16th.... partying commences this Friday.
