This is Great!
Well, here I am at the college, the first day of the Summer semester. The day has been smooth and enjoyable to this point. I came out of my philosophy class feeling like I'm on the right path to a degree of wisdom. It's definately my kind of class, with the first things she cover is stuff like questioning everything *especially the authority figures* and how evily dogmatic the college system is.

The last few days have been nice. Me and Michelle are doing alright again. There seems to be a general understanding about each other's expectations. While that may not seem like much to those reading this paticualar entry, I see it as *in my Tony the Tiger voice* GRRRRRREAAAAT! So much stress I've been having and now things are evening out.

Right now, I've been crusing various diaries. Left 3 comments on "sufferingservant's" diary. We're debating about the christian sabbath. It's something I like to discuss. However, while I know he means well, he has had a way of politely insulting me. In the past, without my various critical thinking classes, I won't have even caught it. But, as I was looking at his writing style, I noticed he has a way of nicely dismissing people and ideas. Not that he is a mean person, but when you disagree with him, he lets the emotions slip into his writing. Well, I called him on that and been discussing my perspective. While I'm trying to just learn what is really true, he seems to believe his way is THE way and mines is wrong. Even now, I realize what I just said about him could be seen as polietly putting him down, but my intention is see the barriers that stop us from respecting the other.

Though that is no big deal. I'm still barely coming to terms that I might accept Christianity back into my life. GTG

Thanks for the comments :)
I'll download that song now and see what it's like.

Re James, although he's aloof and cold like now, when he's being his nice self, the guy I went out with, he's amazing. Extremely kind and caring etc and we have a lot in common so we can talk, he just can't seem to keep up being nice all the time for some reason. Fear of getting too close to someone or something.

But yeah your idea of the list sounds like a good one to me.

Hi tinoz,

I just caught your comments that you left and wanted to come read your diary since I too, have some free time.

I've been contemplating going back to college, but it's still something I'm unsure about. I have to give huge kudos to those who can get over their fears and go. Higher knowledge isn't lost on me, but it feels like it sometimes when I'm always making excuses not to go back to school lol.

I'm a little mixed on the christian front. I'm not christian myself, though I was for the first 16 years or so of my life. (before I really had the chance to make my own choices) I'm all for a deep believing christian that is seeking love and help from God to get through their times of need, but it's the ones that only call on him during those times that really bother me. Those and the ones that preach that they are the best and every other person who is NOT christian is going to hell. What of those of us who don't believe in the stereotypical belief of hell?

Anyways lol. It's definately a touchy subject.

I hope you're doing well and I get the chance to come visit again soon.

Take care,

myystic
Christine
