Well I'm listening to some amazing Dillon Frances which makes me the mood the dance all by myself. I remember last summer when I saw him play at the Paradiso Music Festival. Talk about mind blowing! Electronic music speaks to my soul.
Anyways, I just finished revising my paper for my final draft and I felt like writing in my blog before I go on to making my 2 grading procedures for tomorrow's class. I feel pretty good about my final draft. I am worried though that I sound too biased for an informative essay. It was really hard to write and not make an argument about the topic I am writing about. But I guess it should be easy to turn it into an argument paper for our last assignment since I feel really passionate about rural schools being underfunded.
It has been way too long since I wrote in my blog when it wasn't in class. It is one of those things I say I'll do later, but then never gets done. I find excuses not to do it and then before I know it, the day is over and I start the same cycle again the next day. I do feel more comfortable writing now, but my time management skills suck ass. I know every one has the same excuse, but my life is so busy lately. Taking 15 credits over the summer takes some serious motivation, especially with a huge reading load (thanks Harry Potter) and work 35 hours a week and finding time to go see my boyfriend who lives 2 hours away right now. The only good news is that last week in Harry Potter, my teacher told me that if we are re-reading the books, we can skim them, especially since every book is over 800 pages long. And let me tell ya, I am skimming the shit out of those books. I love the story to death and I know it by heart, but it is impossible now to read 800 pages in 7 days with everything else that is going on in my life. Sure, now I'll miss out on reading the whole book with new academic eyes, but since I've taken this class, I can carry those same academic eyes with me the next time I read the books from cover to cover for joy. There are certain things we talked about in class that I can't overlook the next time I read them.
Also, today I got an email from my Bible Lit teacher and we have a midterm due on Friday :/ That class is really interesting because I am learning about all different ways to look at the bible, but I do not have specific passages about the bible memorized and I do not know specific people that the textbook mentions but does not expand on. The only thing I know for sure is the general messages about creation and salvation. Anyways, I will never stray away from my faith in God, but I do think that the bible has strayed away from it's original messages and has been altered too much by man who thinks he can dictate what God said. Because of this class, I will not take the bible as the 100% truth but as a tool that man uses for a religious foundation to make sense of the world and our place in it. I have always been reserved towards organized religion because churches are the biggest hypocrites of all. They claim to follow God and his teachings, but they discriminate more than anything I've ever seen before and claim to speak the truth. Well let me tell ya, no mortal man can claim he knows the truth. Only God can dictate the truth and since man has had a sinful hand in earth, I do not think us mortals can claim to be right and speak the truth of God. We can spread his messages that the bible has written down, but even the messages in the bible have been altered to the will of man and they cannot be fully trusted as the truth of God.
Well I'm going to stop there. I don't know why I went on that religious tangent, but it felt good. I guess its because I was talking about those same ideas with a couple guys at work this afternoon and they were still fresh in my mind.
