For various reasons, it turns out that I need three more Religious Studies classes (instead of the two I previously thought), before I graduate.

First end-of-semester since I started back to school, where I don’t feel at least relieved, if not downright celebratory. Instead I feel like I did 15 rounds with Ali, Holyfield, AND Mike Tyson, and maybe Bruce Lee as well. ]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/791/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/785 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/785#comments Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:02:44 +0000 CP http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/785

They’ve added a class on Religion in Modern Asia which is, obviously, right up my alley. Regretfully (because it looks like a really cool class), I’ve had to drop Visual Evidence in Modern China for this. However, as a result of the reading assignment (just spent a couple days reading 100+ pages on visual culture), [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/768/feed 0
