So tonight's Theology on Tap was quality. Of course. I mean, it was about the Eucharist. And he cited "Ecclesia de Eucharistia" and "Mane Nobiscum Domine" (the latter being my personal favorite of the two, solely based upon the style and imagery). I love those documents. It was just a great talk - very hopeful, this new face of the Church that is starting to show. It began with the JP2 generation getting out there, fearless, ready to make a difference, and is continuing strong with BXVI. I love both of them, and am really excited for the Church. I think that if we just could get some good liturgists, strong liturgical music, and orthodox priests, we'd be all set. :) And it's coming - by the grace of God, it's coming. Hoorah.
I bought my books for this next semester. I think last semester the total was something ridiculous in the $300 range. Thanks to my wonderful roommate, Megan, I have found how to look up my textbooks, and have ordered them through Half.com. If I had ordered them through the campus bookstore, they would be $141.80 (still considerably less than last semester). However, I have just purchased them for (drum roll please....) $57.47!! WOOT! I am so excited about the fact that $60 bought a semester's worth of books!!!! That's like, a college student's wildest dream come true. Yessss.
Well, off to bed. I must remember that in order to be able to actually get out of bed early, I need to go to bed early. Something about a required amount of sleep each night, blah blah blah. ;)
Caritas et veritas!!
P.S. I painted on my wall last night. It says "Veritas" with a Dominican shield, and then has the words "Laudare, Benedicere, Praedicare" and underneath it "Contemplata aliis tradere". I wonder how long it'll take before the parents start wondering... :)
