Let’s get one thing straight. I love learning, and that makes me feel pretentious sometimes.

I’m fairly sure I have Academic Attention Deficit Disorder. I’m writing this editorial while expounding a paper on Eve’s Dream Sequence in Paradise Lost, tallying word counts for articles, editing articles, reading Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams (Parts I and II), listening to Christmas music, studying for an exam, and texting my sister.

Poet Lorna Crozier, visited Redeemer on Thursday, October 20, 2011, to read her poetry on behalf of the Canadian Council of Poets.

She has published over fifteen books of poetry and, in 2009, released her first autobiographical prose work, entitled “Small Beneath the Sky.” Crozier is married to big-time Canadian poet Patrick Lane and teaches Creative Writing at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.

For all the conversation over stadium venue location and tax-payer contributions, one thing is still not entirely clear: is Hamilton going to see a new (or even renovated) sports stadium?

The answer? Yes.

On August 31, the Ti-Cats announced that an agreement had been reached regarding the construction of the Pan-Am stadium. The new stadium will replace the Ivor Wynne Stadium, home to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and will open in 2014. The Ivor Wynne Stadium will be closed in 2012 and demolished to make room for the new stadium.

Sitting in an RA/HA kick-off meeting, we were asked to consider if we felt safe on Redeemer’s campus. While the question was imposed to evaluate Security’s effectiveness after a living room window had been smashed by two young men trying to break into a townhouse, it prompted a few questions in my mind about the implications of a secure campus.

What is Christian journalism? This is the question that we, The Crown, will be seeking to answer in the coming year.

This year I gave up television and movies for Lent. I know, television and movies are not exactly risen bread or meat, and no, they don’t fall into the food group of chocolate.
