A College Students Favorite Prayer

I pray this prayer everyday, and have been very grateful that I found it. I like to dedicate my work to God and this helps me to remeber to do that.

                                                           A Student's Prayer
                                                                             by St. Thomas Aquinus

Creator of all things,
true source of light and wisdom,
origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of your light penetrate
the darkness of my understanding.

Take from me the double darkness
in which I have been born,
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.

Give me a keen understanding,
a retentive memory, and
the ability to grasp things
correctly and fundamentally.

Grant me the talent
of being exact in my explanations
and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.

Point out the beginning,
direct the progress,
and help in the completion.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

St. Thomas Pray for us!

"Habemus Papam" Pope Benedict XVI

If you enjoy Magna and what to learn more about the present pope, here is the perfect book for you! I do have to admit that I do enjoy the occasional well done comic book and though I haven't read all of this one, I am looking forward to finishing it. You can read it here Habemus Papam Pope Benedict XVI at Magna Hero.

Overpopulation Myth

You always are hearing these days about overpopulation and how the world needs to decrease its population in order to live? Ever have trouble answering back the questions of other people? Or maybe you have your own questions? Overpopulation is just a well circulated myth. Supported by the media and alot of scientists, but are we going to just follow their word on such an important desicion? Here is a great video addressing this myth, and how it got started:

I live!

Well almost... I just started my online college courses, I have never been so busy in my life! I'm used to doing my homework at my own pace and usually I would get done at around lunch time (or earlier *muhaha* the wonders of being homeschooled!) And now I'm lucky if I get done before ten at night! I now can sympathise with all college students, though my sister says that it always the first week that is the hardest to get used to. Any way, I'm hoping I can get a year of college done early, and then I hope to spend that extra time double majoring in animal science and equine science. I'm also breaking in my sisters old room, which I got after she went to college. And I had to give up my old room *sniff* after I had just about finished decorating. I had painted, riped up the carpet, and even made a quilt to match! (the room not the carpet) Now I have to start all over again except this time I also have to take out the celling tiles which are full of mold (I just hate mold! which is giving me so nasty headaches!) and we need to put in a full window. As it is, I have two very small windows that just let in enough light so that it seems like it is raining on the sunniest of days. Because of which it has now been christened the dungeon. I going to be doing a re-make of my blog which is I think getting a little to busy. Also it would be nice to have more room for the actual posts. Anyway that's for after school work which I should be getting back to.
