One more week to go...

Hey people... Wow, one more week to go until we hand in term paper on the 30th of March. And most of East of Eden (at least the term paper part) will be over... (Btw, cool lil' image I put up there on the right, huh? hehe) The month is soon coming to an end, along with our semester, and soon we'll be graduating. I know this is a sad, sad subject... but it's something we can't keep pushing away or else it'll be much harder once the months of June and July creep by. To end on a happier note... I pray that we all make the most of the time given to us, and not let anything get in the way of it.. Haha, right Tim? Anyway... I guess that's all I wanted to say for my journal entry this week.


Toodles,


Tiffany<3333*

P.s.: I finally took the time to do some things to our dear AP-licious blog, hehe. I'll change it soon... I just wanted to give it a certain philosophical touch since we're doing our term papers, haha... Enjoy! ;)

P.s.#2: Something else I noticed... our blog doesn't know how to count! Because percebi que it usually says stuff like "1 Comments," hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I drank too much coffee today.

Blessing???

Okay...So I can´t seem to get the whole idea of whether receiving a blessing or not can influence the outcome of a person´s life. I look at Cal in the end of the book and it seems as if receiving the blessing from his father is one of if not THE most important points in his being able to receive grace and move on...Then I look at Cathy´s life and wonder if not receiving a blessing made a difference in her life...and what exactly does it mean to receive a blessing...Cathy had parents who loved her...was the fact that they may not have known how to love or give her the love she needed a hindrance...then I was reading Sarah´s first three pages and I thought about whether Adam had blessed her life by accepting her despite her past, but then it seems not as Sarah goes on to show how Adam builds his own view of her-makes her into the woman that he wants her to be. Thus, he doesn´t really bless Cathy, not the REAL Cathy, only the person that he has tried to make her be..It seems that it is only in the end with Cal that Adam learns how to truly bless...Just some thoughts....
