My day consisted mainly of going to class and playing piano, and this evening attending the Catholic Edge, a monthly event put on by the Catholic Studies Interns. As you can see, tonight's topic was the "masculine genius" (the counterpart to the "feminine genius" promoted by Pope St. JPII). Dr. Savage spoke; after years of research, she has developed this theory and will be publishing a paper in the next issue of Logos, if any of you are interested. :) The main gist: while women are concerned with people, men are focused on things. That is how society can function and survive -- the fact that men build things and fix problems is the reason that society can progress out of the Stone Age. She argues that this idea is immensely important right now, when so much attention is given to women (not, of course, a bad thing in and of itself) that the men are falling by the wayside and don't know who they are supposed to be.
On a different note, today was the Christmas tree lighting. While I'm the Chief of the Advent police and all that, I do have to admit that the lights look beautiful:
This is outside BEC, and there's a big tree in the ASC as well. I don't know if all the trees have lights, or if it is just these two; I'll have to keep my eyes open. :)
