Aquinas Update

Aquinas has been quite busy these days. In Religious Studies, we are analyzing the Bardo Thotrol, or Tibetan Book of the Dead. Having access to excerpts from the actual book, and having the chance to watch a very informative film on the book, has allowed for a great look into this Tibetan Buddhist custom. In English, we continue to discuss aspects of "Doubt", and have received a written text of the play, along with watching a live presentation of the play, and watching the movie. Due to all of these sources, I feel very informed on the play, yet its complexity is something that allows for these ongoing discussions. Finally, in Journalism, we have been sharing stories of significant turning points in each other's lives. Our class has been very open with one another, and there is definitely a nice sense of community there. I look forward to the upcoming classes, and whatever surprises they may bring.
