One month exactly

Today marks the one month point.

I'm busily making graduation invitations for you all. Hand designed and hand-made. Whew.

I'm going to try and catch everyone up to the semester so far:

I finished my comprehensive exams for the Classics degree before the start of this semester. Then I finished my thesis for Philosophy in early February at which time I also presented it. My thesis was "Modality in Four Categories" and in it I built a modality for an ontology recently advocated by E. J. Lowe. I received a high pass on it.

A couple weeks ago I finished off my comprehensives for Philosophy. I received a high pass on those as well. Now I just have to finish up my classics thesis (Translation, commentary and analysis of Aristotle on metaphor in Rhetoric III.2-4.) and pass my classes and I'm set.

I also found out today that I was nominated for the Cardinal Spellman award and the Ann Heller Maberry award and am eligible for the Hellen Corbitt prize. Those awards will be announced at commencement.

I am realizing as I write this that I have a lot to do in the next few weeks as classes wind down.

I'll try to keep this up to date.

Beginning the blog

So I was making my graduation invitations and decided that this might be a good idea.

I'll be posting information as things wrap up in the semester. I've got some news on my Philosophy thesis, Philosophy comps and Classics comps, but I'll have to post that later seeing as how I have an epistemology paper to write.

Take care!
