A Logical Approach to Theology

Category: Uncategorized

So today I went to the movies to see “Prince Caspian” the latest “Narnia” movie. For those of you that don’t know, The Chronicles of Narnia were written by C.S. Lewis as Christian books. They are chalk-full of Christian iconography. I did my literature research paper about it actually.

For those of you who don’t know me, I am probably the most anti-religion (of all sorts) person around. So I like the Narnia films, not for their religious value (which I certainly recognize and appreciate from a cultural aspect), but because I enjoy the story. However, during the pre-show previews of other films that are scheduled for release I saw an add for something that I can really look forward to. It’s an approach to religion with logic. Enjoy.

Senior Class T-Shirts

Category: school

So the images for each shirt can be found at their respective links below:
Pacman and Oh-Nine. I’m not a very good graphic artist, so these are just to give you a general idea. The professional at Creative Awards is going to be redoing them.

If you still want to order one, you don’t have to have one of the little order forms. But on a piece of paper you need to indicate ALL of the following things:

  1. Your name
  2. Your address
  3. Your phone number where you can be most easily reached this summer
  4. The t-shirts that you are going to be ordering
  5. The size that you want
  6. How you are going to pay (cash or check)
  7. The total amount that you paid (each shirt is $9)
  8. Your check number (if paying by check)
  9. MAKE CHECKS OUT TO A SENIOR CLASS OFFICER

As for the receiving of the shirts themselves, the last day that orders will be accepted is July 12. This will give Creative Awards plenty of time to get everything done for the first day of school. We anticipate their completion sometime in mid-August. The other officers and I need to meet and talk about when we are going to distribute them, most likely a few days before the start of school. If you have any questions, please feel free to Contact me. Myspace, Facebook, e-mail, IM, text messages, and phone calls are all appropriate ways of getting in touch with me.

In the meantime, I think that everyone should register at our class Forum if you haven’t already. It’s where we can discuss important things and how I send out mass announcements via e-mail.

Class Officer Elections

Category: school

I think that I did a pretty good job with my campaign this year. I believe that I had a lot of support, and I think that my speech went quite well. Below is what I said, more or less. I will know the results of the election tomorrow morning.

Hi everyone! My name is Cyrus Sethna. Some of you know me as Cseth, CC, Cy Guy, and *Pause* Shortstuff.
I am running to be your senior class officer and I hope that you, the class of 2009 choose to re-elect me. Before I go any further, I want to share an interesting story with you. The other day I was campaigning during my lunch period. As you all know, food is an excellent way to win the hearts and minds of the wonderful people here at Nordonia; I was giving out gum, and there was a lot of positive feedback. However, I got to one ‘09ie whose response really sticks in my mind. She asked me “Why should I vote for you?â€. Now this is an extremely profound question. A year ago, when I was running for office, I had no idea what class officers are responsible for. I figured I’d just help organize spirit week and it would be a nice easy walk in the park.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. From the position of leadership that you all have voted me into, I have learned that a class officer needs to constantly be working towards the improvement of their class, school, and community. It’s not just fun and games, it’s also about making a difference, making a change, and I have the energy and the dynamite to make that change. I have learned that every one of you has something unique and exciting to contribute to the Class of 2009 and our school. I hope that you have seen that I have the leadership skills to unite your talents and energies and together work for a better school, a better society, and a better world to graduate into.
The role of a class officer is one with many responsibilities. I stand before you today because I care about all of you and I want the very best, and only the very best for us as a class. Back in the fall, our class sponsored a cornhole tournament to benefit disadvantaged children in Africa, we’ve put on the best Winter Formal thus far in our high school careers, and we raised over 4000 cans of food for the emergency assistance center during spirit week. Many of you I’m sure will remember me calling you that Wednesday night and asking for caned goods. I always make myself available to help my classmates, our school, and our society. I have the experience, dedication, organization, and leadership abilities to serve your best interests. I think I am the best person to serve you, and together we can serve our school and our community.

AP Physics Exam

Category: school

Well I took my second out of two AP exams. Physics. This was the exam that I was most worried about. All year in physics I’ve tried so hard, but I haven’t been able to do well no matter how hard I try. This is very frustrating. But Sunday when I was thinking about studying for the exam. I was hit by the epiphany train. I finally realized that no matter how much I study, I’m still going to do poorly. So what’s the point of studying and doing bad? I might as well not study and do just as bad. So instead of a lose-lose I have a win-lose. I think I’m pretty clever. Like most physics tests, I don’t think that I did that poorly, but usually that turns out to be false when I get the test back. We shall see come the third week in July.

I spent yesterday afternoon with Jenny. I got to her house at about 3pm and we went on a double date with her friends Ashley and Mason. They’re interesting people. We saw Ironman, then we went to Steak and Shake for dinner. After that we went to Barns and Noble because one of Jenny’s short stories was published in their literary magazine. It was an interesting event. Then we went back to her house for a few hours.

Maintanance

Category: personal

csethna.com underwent a full overhaul this morning. Wordpress has been updated to the latest version, and I added a gallery function. There aren’t many pictures that I’ve made public, that’s a chore for a later day, but you can see that there is a Gallery
with some photos that you can feel free to peruse. Again, more to come in the future. I’ve just spent about 3 hours working on the site that nobody looks at anyway, so I’m going to save the rest of the work for another day.
