June was a very unproductive month for this blog. I posted only two entries the entire month. That’s horrible, and I’m terribly sorry. I can’t believe that I haven’t met an untimely end at the hands of a lynch mob. Maybe I’m not the only one feeling lethargic?
My internship started June 1st, so I have one month under my belt now, and my first paycheck in the bank. It was a good start, I think. I’ve settled into my office, which has become my geekosphere away from my geekosphere. I’ve also made reasonable progress on my primary duty, which has so far involved meeting with ministry team leaders, designing a new form, and putting together a database.
Reformation & Modern Church History, my first class of the summer, which I’m taking by tape, is mostly done. I’ve listened to all the lectures, and I took the midterm a week or two ago. Now I just have to take the final, and write a 15-20 page paper. However…
Ancient & Medieval Church History began yesterday, and will run for 4 weeks. The fun part about this class is making up a timeline of the 100-200 most important events during the period. One of the most creative projects from previous years that the professor shared with us was Ancient & Medieval Church History Monopoly. (It was even endorsed by Athanasius!) Right now I’m leaning towards Ancient & Medieval Church History Trading Cards™.

Church History Trading Cards(TM)? Hmm. These could become the rage at Christian, classical, Latin-speaking schools? Bully kids beating up the wimpy kids to steal an ultra-rare Dionysius card. Unless I’m mistaken, Dionysius is both a church bishop of the 3rd century as well as a Pokemon.
My friend Megan made a suggestion that I had thought of earlier but didn’t mention becasue I am still investigating its feasibility. The idea is to make not just trading cards, but to create a collectable card game (CCG) like “Magic: the Gathering”, or “Pokémon”. If I could pull it off, I think it could have some marketing potential as a “Christian” alternative to all those “Satanic” CCG’s. :-D
*giggles with glee* Ha… and I just spent a weekend at a convention for all those “Satanic” games… hee hee hee. I can’t wait to see what you come up with… if you need help, lemme know. *hug*
