I'm putting off homework. Basically because I don't want to do it. It's homework for Tuesday but I should do it just so I do not get behind. Ethics, it takes a lot of effort to read Aquinas.
In my free time I enjoy spending time on Christian Teen Forum. Granted, I haven't been considered a teen for almost 3 years but I find their company a little more entertaining then other forums. Perhaps this says something about my intelligence or maturity. :) I don't mind.
Right now I have taken up my newest battle. As president of the pro-life club at my college I have decided that our next big project is to make the college completely pro-life. It annoys me that we should even have to do this seeing as it is a Catholic college and even one mentioned in Father Benedict Groshel's new book on Catholic colleges, but it has been brought to our attention that the Psychology department and the Education department both have insinuated that they promote, or approve of, birth control.
Personally, this leaves me in a sticky situation. I am in the Education department and it is those teachers that decide whether or not I graduate. I don't think they'd hinder me in anyway but they will know where the attacks are coming from. I recently e-mailed one of my professors asking which union they recommend for me to join and if I find out they support NEA (a very pro-choice organization) they will know who is sending around lists of pro-life teachers unions.
Pray for me that this won't effect my future career as a teacher and that if it does that I am able to with stand it.

I just wrote a paper on an excerpt from Summa Theologica a couple of days ago...I feel your pain!
Actually, I feel your pain in more ways than one. I too go to a "Catholic" college (it's Jesuit) and I have to be constantly on my guard, even in the theology department.
The other day I went into one of my favorite professor's office, (who by happenstance found my blog one day and told me she was quite impressed by it), and was struck with horror when I noticed she had a sign near her door in favor of gay marriage. It completely ruined my day.
Luckily, I have a found a few orthodox priests on campus whom I have come to trust. Stay strong sister!
