Impending Independent Study

As I mentioned previously, I met with my Religion major advisor on Friday to discuss an independent study that I will be doing next summer (summer of 2007) on the life and works of Flannery O'Connor. I then spoke with an English professor and he agreed to get on board, so everything seems to have come together!

I'm very excited about this, as I love O'Connor's writing - it does something to me that not much else has - and the implications for my combination of academic interests - Religion (O'Connor's theological musings), English (the obvious literary component), and Social Welfare (she raised radical opinions on race and welfare in her writings) - is absolutely spot on and terribly exciting.

I know it is a ways off, but I honestly can't wait to delve into this project. Is summer here yet?
