The Report from the fronts...

silveradept...said I had no work today. But there was rain at some point. Thus, I am justified to some degree. Or something like that. I've been watching baseball and marathon episodes of Match Game in addition to playing games on some of my emulation machines. So I'm multitasking, but I'm having a load of fun while I'm at it, and thus, once again, I am justified. However, as I always lament (even if it is only in the back of my head) a day without work is a day without earning pay. They're nice to have, and they tend to come at the beginning of my week rather than the end, but I finally managed to make the last of my summer rent payments. Plus my loan check got deposited. So my bank account looks healthier to some degree. The next paycheck will probably cover the rent for this month, and I might start looking like I'm going to make money on the summer for anything I get in the month of August. Tuition still stares me in the face, however. Thus I still worry.
You know, I don't think I'd be comfortable unless I had at least six years' worth of tuition in my bank account and more... must be some part of my birth sign... us Cancers are supposed to be fretful about money and the house and all those sorts of things. You know, the more I study it, the more I find these sorts of things to be familiar. I know, it's generalized statements that the people reading then make justifications for with experience of their own lives, but it really does describe a large part of my personality.
Yes, I'll admit to study of different beliefs than my Catholic upbringing. Mom, I think is kind of okay with it... I can't draw a perfect bead on it, but she's definitely more tolerant than Dad. That's been proven. Funny how little anecdotes get stuck in your head. Stories and such. So I've been taking classes on other belief systems, ostensibly for a degree that I'm trying to put together, but the degree actually is me trying to justify my own personal search for the "right" religion. After all, the University offers the classes even if the department is under re(de?)construction for a while... indeterminate from the looks of things. So... thus, again, I am trying to justify myself. It will probably happen, so long as I put the effort into making it happen this semester. If it falls through, there's always General Studies. Grad school is the goal, and a degree in Library/Information Science beyond that.
Yes, I want to be a librarian. There had to be some of us somewhere, yes?
(Asides: Lance Armstrong won the Tour for a record fifth time on Sunday... Congratulations sir, and hope for a sixth.
In addition, Bob Hope died today... and I think the world feels his passing. We'll miss his humor as well as his character.)

Hmm...
Date: 2003-07-29 06:18 am (UTC)Link me a story on the Institute, I'd like to see the opinions.
I go to a liberal university, thus drawing away from the traditional religions is something that can happen, but the trads have as many people if not more than the non-trads on campus... some of the ones I really want to study don't promote, and so it's very hard to find them.
A direction, I think I may have found, but I haven't found a specific path to complement it. I say, "officially agnostic with leanings toward Neo-Pagan ideas" and I find that fits fairly well.
