During the period 1789-1806, one of the unusual manifestations of the French Revolution was the adoption of a completely new calendar; 'The Calendar of Reason’. It was divided into twelve months of thirty days each which symbolized their separation from the old style. One of the reasons for the calendar consisted on the rejection of numerous holidays, religious and politic oppressiveness and some reactions included people honoring to the new adoption while other arguing over the cruelty they were

During the Great Terror of the French Revolution, chaos erupted everywhere. King Louis XVI had been overthrown and was replaced with the National Convention, causing a large wave of mass paranoia between the people. Such paranoia included being against the National Convention and the Revolution as a whole and the consequence was getting guillotined.

Most of what we consider to be today’s modern myths are timeless superheroes that have been preserved and elevated to this status by comic books, television shows, and movies.

12:00 a.m., I am wide awake. I keep forcing my eyes to rest yet they pry open. My body is overloaded with joy and excitement. 7 p.m. seemed nearly impossible to arrive. The time has come and I have crossed the finish line. " I present to you the graduating class of 2017". The tears began to fall and my mind instantly began to replay the restless nights and early mornings. I have now received my high school diploma and a new has begun.

They had accused me of not working hard in the fields prior to our Vespers today. I was surprised by the accusation, as I believed I was doing my part. The Abbott has warned me of both laziness and how to handle my own thoughts in the immediate future. He says I must not speak or even think poorly of my fellow monks who

This Lindisfarne, Book of Kells quote represents this definition clearly ‘Daily life in a monastery focuses on contemplation and the practical Christian organisation of aid (good works) to the socially disadvantaged within society and as the guardian of civilization’. .

I first want to thank all of you for being here, sharing this moment with us that for four years we had been waiting for. Allow me to walk you through a brief summary of this past years that we have had as a class. It all started freshman year. We were the new kids that were trying to fit in, not knowing what a roller coaster highschool would be. As soon as we stepped into this campus everyone around us knew
