learrrning

So this past week.. (2 weeks) we did feasibility studies and I feel like I learned even more about research and how to narrow a topic down and how to discover if something is doable. I'm learning to distinguish between "popular" texts and academic ones. I feel confident in my researching skills and am curious as to what I will learn in the inquiry group. I think the feasibility process went really well and hopefully the inquiry leads to interesting discoveries.

so its been a while..

It has been a long time since I have posted a learning journal, mainly, because I forgot about them...oops.

This month has been the most interesting month of Aquinas thus far, I would have to say. I have learned so many things- between the three subjects. Everything that we have been doing in Religious studies I find so interesting, obviously I haven't hid my enthusiasm for Mary Magdalene. I really don't know why.. but I have always found religions and especially controversy in religions facinating. I guess since reading The Da Vinci Code I have always wanted to do my own research into it, because obviously I know there must be holes and exaggerations in the novel. I bought Holy Blood, Holy Grail but haven't read it yet and now that this has been brought up to me again (Mary) I really want to read it.

Journalism was also really good this past month, I love learning about the wars and it is really cool to see it from a journalistic perspective, one I wouldn't have noticed before. Journalism, I find, always opens up different frames for me because journalism was not something that I was particularly interested in before Aquinas, like religion and English, so I find that everyday I go to journalism I learn something new or see something a different way.
