Connection of assignment 1 to Image and pilgrimage in christian culture 10/7

 In Image and pilgrimage in Christian culture, the authors talk quite a bit about "mere mortals" which means one who is not god. I felt like a mere mortal while I was writing this paper because I had a very tough time writing this paper. I eventually found my way a couple of hours into writing this paper. I find that a common theme while writing papers, I start out having a rough time and as soon as I get the hang of it I glide right through it. Overall this is a great way to think about things like this because nobody that is living now can prove that they are god.

September 6, 2022: Reflection on Appalachian Trail research essay and connection to Landscapes of the Sacred

 I had a difficult time starting my essay due to procrastination and confusion about the whole concept of the essay. I reached out to Dr. Redick during class and he explained it which helped out a lot. As soon as I was ready to start my essay I reached out to our peer mentor who is Jacob. I met with him at Einstein's and he helped me grasp the concept of the whole thing. I then had a much easier time writing and editing the essay due to his help. I finished in about a day and a half and I had an idea. I thought it would be a good idea to consult Jacob again about my essay.

I thought I did pretty well with writing it and PERSEVERING through the confusion and frustration that I had experienced. Connecting Landscapes of the Sacred to my time writing the essay was difficult, but I found a common theme betw...

Buffalo shooting reflection (outside reading) 10/25

 I read this very controversial topic in the manifesto that the Buffalo shooter wrote before he committed this horrible crime. He was being extremely racist in his writing and talked about all race's wrong-doings besides white people. I found this very interesting and wrong. I wish I could see where this guy was coming from, but it is hard to play the devil's advocate when the person is the devil incarnate. He had a few very interesting topics that will make you think about what is going on in this world. Overall this was very interesting and borderline disturbing to read.

Review of Dr Kessler

       In place of Dr Redicks lesson today, we were visited by Dr Samuel Kessler as he is a candidate for employment here at the university. I would positively say that Dr Kessler really kept his presentation engaging, interesting, and as well understandable throughout his lesson. I could clearly understand the structure of the lesson. As a student that struggles with focusing for long periods of time, Dr. Kessler kept his lesson relevant and understandable while engaging. I feel that I took much away from the presentation. I often have a hard time with this in other professors, so I feel that students like myself would appreciate a professor like Dr Kessler. He was intent in all explanations he gave. He was also very obviously passionate about the work he does or has done, as well as an expert in his field. I would personally enjoy having Dr. Kessler as a professor.
