Hello vast abyss of the internet blogoshpere! My name is Mary and I'm a senior in college studying English along with a slew of other minor pursuits. Welcome to a pet project of mine: The Summer Seminar.
Throughout this summer I plan on taking all of those habits of reading and writing I've learned over the course of my education (not to mention those texts that never received due attention during the school year) and putting them to use in the pursuit of my own interests and texts. College is not forever (thank goodness), but no matter where my career leads me, I don't want to lose my capacity for careful reading and analysis. Which brings me to this Summer Seminar, a prep course, if you will, for the rest of my life.
Here's how it's going to work. I've managed to rope a good friend of mine (Elizabeth) into doing this project with me, and perhaps I can garner some more friends along the way. Throughout the three months of summer we'll be focusing on three different authors, to give each due time. June: C.S. Lewis, July: James Joyce, and August: Flannery O'Connor.
Elizabeth and I will each write at least one blog post per week due Saturday at 11:59 PM CST.
Tune in this Saturday, May 31st to see it all begin. We'll be discussing the first 15 chapters of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters!
