A New Semester

I'm afraid that in the flurry of Christmas break, I rather neglected my blog. But Christmas break is over, and I'm just getting back into the habit of the school week.

Quick breakdown of all my classes:

New Testament History and Literature: One of those required freshman courses. I took OT last semester, and this is basically the same thing. A book by book take on the Bible. Pretty basic, after going to school at CLBS, but it's a good class, and an easy A.

Biblical Worldview-Personal Responsibility: I had my first class today, and I loved it! I can already tell that I don't concur with my prof in all things, but that will make the class less boring.

Theatre Management: I'm really excited about this one. It is taught by the producer of Triple Espresso, who also works at the Guthrie. I haven't been to a class yet, but I've heard he's fantastic. I'll find out tomorrow morning at 8:35. Blech. I am so not a morning person...



This little dude looks way happier than I do when Nathan drags me out of bed and dumps coffee down my throat.



Foundations of Communication: Another general. Yippee. Skippy. Not really looking forward to this class, but maybe it will be more fun than I'm expecting it to be. From the class description, it just sounds plain time consuming.

Ethics: A discussion class, with surprisingly interesting texts. I'm excited to dig in to the more controversial topics.

So that's my line up for this semester. Lucky for me, my Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes are quads, so for the last two months of the school year, those days will be completely free! Hmmmm...four day weekends...whatever will I do?





I am also hoping to be in the spring musical, "Working".




It's a great show with lots of food for thought and fantastic music. Call backs were tonight, and I think I have a shot at a decent role. Of course, after almost six months without a show, I don't care what I get. I just need to get back on stage before I die of withdrawal. I'll keep you all updated.

Love to you all,
Lissa Hoarn

  1. who is your teacher in personal responsibility? i took the honors course taught by muska and was delighted/ intimidated by all of the intelligent kids in my class all diving headfirst into lively discussions. even though i don't particularly love theatre, i'm jealous that you will get to meet michael donley. ive seen triple espresso 2 times; he is hilarious, and he is really talented. also, foundations of comm= speech class. so just try to not fall asleep in class since you know everything.

    and i love your cheesy use of a generic "lets party!" picture complete with dancing silhouettes and technicolor sunshine.

  2. just kidding about the whole triple espresso guy thing. MD was one of the creators, but not producer.
    i'm still jealous of that theatre management class. sounds so cool!

  3. When you say "food for thought" do you actually mean food? Maybe I'll come see this one... )

    I actually enjoyed my ethics class at Faith too. Lots of good debates.
