12 Days of Christmas - Notre Dame Style

So I heard someone was writing a version of the 12 Days of Christmas, Notre Dame style, and the only piece of it I heard was "5 Golden Tates." This made me want to write my own version. I've pretty much finished it, but I'm still stuck on a few numbers... any ideas?

12 am parietals
11 football championships
10 Irish guardsmen
9
8
7 Heisman trophies
6 billion endowment
5 Golden Tates
4 horsemen of the apocalpyse
3 months of drama
2 two crystal lakes
1 shiny golden dome

Good Omen?

I caught the bouquet at Kateri's wedding this weekend! I hope it's an omen of good things to come!

Today we had a riveting discussion about catechetical methods in my field education seminar. A friend sent the following email to our class afterwards:

Friends,
I rarely send these mass emails, but after a very good discussion on effective catechetical methods today, I figured it would be appropriate to share a short clip of one of the best Catechists of this age, who died 30 years ago today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxLdrE7WTaA

Enjoy,

I went and clicked on the you tube video- it was a video of Fulton J Sheen! I was pleasantly surprised! I didn't realize how delightful he was! I think perhaps that I had seen videos of him before, sometime during my youth, but was probably not of a mental disposition to appreciate it at the time. Thankfully, now I am. (Again, refer to my entry on Young Adult Brain Development... don't judge me! =) ).

Now that I only have one paper to do and one oral final, I might kill some time watching more FJS on Youtube.

Christ Turns Down 3-Year, Multimillion Dollar Deal To Coach Notre Dame

From : http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/christ_turns_down_3_year

SOUTH BEND, IN—Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior of All Mankind, and current defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State, said Monday that He would not accept Notre Dame's 3-year, $5.6 million offer to coach the Fighting Irish. "I love Notre Dame and respect their football legacy, but no matter what you've accomplished before coaching there, once you're a Golden Domer, the expectations, frankly, are unrealistic," said Christ, whose family has been involved with the university since its founding. "I've had people turn on Me before, and it really put Me through hell. But even more importantly, I've made a commitment to stay with the Blue Raiders through 2015." Christ denied asking Notre Dame to remove His likeness from the building overlooking their stadium, saying He liked a good joke as much as anybody.
