Lately

Lately I've been a bit busy in ways I can't really remember, so I won't go into much detail. Especially since my computer is being a total [*expletive*] lately, and it takes forever to type anything... or do anything, really...... and it's [*expletive*] ticking me off. A LOT. Last week I presented a group project in my exegesis class, and it went well. We got an A. This past Friday I delivered a speech on envy for a speaking class. The feedback I got afterwards was really quite positive, moreso than I expected and probably quite a bit more than I merited.

Let's see.... I've been resuming a friendly Facebook discussion on the kalam cosmological argument with a group of atheists and agnostics who are fellow members of the Mormon Expression Podcast Community. It's been interesting and a bit time-consuming, since I'm the sole defender of my case there, so I'm rather outnumbered. Not that I'm really complaining about it; I knew that's what I was in for. I'm also getting back into blogging at Study and Faith, and so for the past day I've been preparing a bunch of posts for release at given intervals - mostly selections from 19th-century LDS periodicals. That should ensure, so long as I steadily keep it up, that new posts keep appearing on a regular basis up through January or February of next year, even if I do nothing else - though of course I fully intend to. Then today I had to do a bunch of extremely irritating crud for one of my seminary's spiritual formation programs (a bunch of highly unproductive questions, mainly, and frankly one of the institution's great deficiencies is in actually giving everyone the tools to understand how the program works). Now I'm relaxing by downloading some mid-20th century topographical maps...
