YOU MADE IT!!!

YOU MADE IT!!!

See you soon

Hi! Today I got here at a decent time, reviewed that scheme of Chapter III and compared it with other schemes that I already had. (I actually have been working a lot on the scheme of this chapter, I realize). It looks pretty good now, like I finally have a clearer idea of what it needs to contain and above all of the order in which to explain the different parts. Hopefully!
The next step is to check on my notes the order in which Schelling himself argues these points, because it does not have to be the same order that I use: in fact, I must simplify and stop following his arguments and explanations literally, because that is too complicated. I had been following him too closely and that is what had gotten me stuck with this chapter. So I will make a quick overview of his order (Sunday night) and then decide what points to change so that my order will be clear and logical (sorry, old man). In other words, I have to adapt his arguments to the scheme I posted yesterday, and not my scheme to his arguments!
Today I realized how much I have on this chapter already, so after that overview I will probably just write according to the scheme! following my notes and trying not to re-read Schelling (tip from Nena), just write down what I already know, before going on and reading or re-reading anything. This will be on Monday afternoon.
Now I'm leaving already, going to buy some food and to pack, because I'm leaving for two days. I hadn't planned on leaving because I thought I had to work every waking minute, ha, but I think I need some rest and some time in silence. Above all, I am hoping to experience the Resurrection! so I want to make the time and space to really live these days. Well, I am not going far, just to a monastery here in the city, but I'm a little scared because I've never been there and don't know the nuns, we'll see. It all came very spontaneously and I think it will be good. It's only for two days anyway, so I'm exagerating a little. The library is closed till Tuesday but I'll write you on Sunday. I wish you all a very good Easter!! And thank you for your support, it really touches me.

fu..! I just tried to post a message and then it was gone...argh!

so in short!

jep, I think it s a good idea to take off a few days! will give you power for the upcoming missions! :)
on this note: happy EASTER! in the thrilling monastery...;)

concerning your thesis:
yes, I think it s an good idea to excerpt chapters which are to complicated in argumentation. in this stage your work doesn t lack knowledge 4 sure! it s more important to find the "roten faden"!

hugs,
mat

Found a L2-L3 interference:
write you : dich schriben
better write to you in English.
Have a nice stay, I wish you were closer but will try my best to attend your graduation.

Hi Marce,

It is great that you realize how much you have worked and how much you have, I'm sure it gives you more confidence and that is excellent!
Good thing that you are planning to follow your thoughts and use Schelling's to explain yourself. You are following your path Tu Camino, or also as Eduardo puts it, Tu flecha!

You won't read this until Sunday, but I hope your retreat was good and I wish you a very Happy Easter! Felices Pascuas de Resurreccion a todos!

Ana.

Hi Marce!

What's up, how is it going? I guess you had the day off and you won't be back on the blog until tomorrow. I hope you had a good rest and have renewed energies to start the week!

Hi everyone and thank you Mat, Comadrita, Ana and Tia B for your comments! I didn't do what I said on Sunday and Monday, and yesterday I still did not go back to the library, that's the embarrassing truth. But oh well, I'm beginning again today. Tia, thanks for your comment on language interference: a big ;-) for you as promised!
