It has been a couple of days since I have last written a post, the reason for this is because of this Augustine paper I have been writing. It was a very interesting paper to write. I was trying to prove that St Augustine became a Christian because of his belief in Platonism, which is the belief in what Plato taught. It was very interesting to compare the similarities and also the differences between Christianity and Platonism. I have mixed feelings about finishing with the paper, on the one hand I am happy because I am done with it, and yet on the other I am not so happy because I know that the next book I have to read seems a little longer and is probably more philosophical than St Augustine's Confessions. Oh well, I will get it done and maybe learn something in the process.

St. Augustine

I am sitting here, attempting to write a paper on St. Augustine. He is not well known, so I will explain who he is. He was a Christian convert during the end the the 4th Century. It was a good book, but the paper is just not coming. The paper is for my History of Christianity class. It is a very interesting class. Things are looking up though, because I now know in what order I am going to write it. I won't bore you with the minute details. (did I spell that right?)
On a side note, I just heard some very good advice...that I especially need to take into consideration. The advice is that you need to put your family before you dream. That seems like something small and when you read it, I bet you thought...duh!!! But it hit me like a ton of pebbles.
I think this is good for now. I will get this paper done, it might take a second or two though...

My first post.

This is a new blog. I know you know this, but I thought I would spread the word. I don't really know what to blog about...did I just make blog a verb?...so I am just going to write. I just got finished studying for a map quiz. I had to learn about a lot of -stans that were, before this time, not existent. Some examples are Uzbekestan, Kirgizsgtan and Tadzhikistan. I am not sure if I spelled them right, but it really doesn't matter, becuase you will not be looking them up anyway.
As I sit here pondering the facts of life, my life keeps returning to the fact that

This is my video. It is not great, just simple. Anyway, this is just a trial, I might delete it later, but here goes.
