Next Semester's Schedule and Christmas Break

Christ is Born!

Thankfully I have a month off after a full fall semester. I've been told that the Spring semester of your freshman year is the most difficult. Not only will the schedule be more packed than the Fall's but the Great Fast (Lent) rests nicely in the middle of the semester.

Next Semester is packed with 24 hours of classes. My classes are as follows: Slavonic, Greek, Liturgics, Synoptic Gospels, Ethics, Byzantine Church History, Sacred Music, Choir, and Cosmology. I have already been assigned a Church Father for Cosmology. Over the break I will be doing some light reading from St. Dionysios the Areopagite.

For the break my family will be traveling. We will spend time in Massachusetts, Maine, and Michigan. We have a baptism to attend in Michigan; Elizabeth will be the godmother. We will also be catching up with old friends from Holy Ascension and spending time at the Dormition Monastery.

I will be posting more of my papers from the fall semester in January. Until then I will be enjoying all twelve days of Christmas.

Joyous Feast!
