No, not that kind of party...
I mean, time to have a study party!
Tomorrow is our midterm for the Freedom and Justice class, covering themes and passages from Locke, to Plato, to St. Agustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to both the Old and New Testaments. Today we finished discussing Locke (a personal favorite even before we came here), and had quite a "heated" debate regarding the meanings and justifications of tacit consent. I loved it. Tonight, our TA is holding a question and answer session for the rest of our group, and then afterwards, some friends and I are going to have our own little get together and review and make a chart of the different concepts of each philosopher; hopefully it works!
I doubt anyone is going to sleep much tonight...
Extremely Stressed,
Theresa
*O, but on a lighter note: I submitted an article to the Summer Times here at Cornell; it was a sort of letter to home talking about the experience so far. I'll post again whe I know more about when/if it's going to be published.

A lot of parents don't fully appreciate the value of a student living on or near campus where they have an opportunity to be surrounded by other students they can bounce ideas off of or study with. I'm glad you're seeing this first hand.
Try doing something like that back home and you may find that the distance separating you from your classmates makes it very difficult to accomplish the studying you had in mind.
It sounds like you're really getting something out of all of this. That's great.
Theresa,
Sounds like you are doing well and learning a lot. Would love to have you write an article for the etree about your experiences this summer. So many of us need to be reminded that you kids are very important to our future and we need to take time to hear you.
