Well... I was on campus today and ended up spending 70 bucks on books for classes I am not taking... In fact I am not taking any classes as I have graduated... Yeah... But they're rare volumes that I have researched before... Fairy tales, monk's lives, Tolkein... Who can pass up a good story about a knight?
Otherwise though, my day is going great (actually that is great too). I applied to a job last night which I actually meet the requirements to. It's not as much a dream job as the other two I am applying to, but, it is close by with a totally radical company and is close enough to commute.
Something I have been learning in my life is that I need to stop being stubborn and fighting for what I want, but rather look for that which I deserve. Such a thing is hard to judge, but I plan to improve my dreams beyond the stars and reach for the galaxies...
On tuesday I joined a good friend in driving up to good 'ol PA for his grandmother's funeral. Being a long standing family friend, I was elected to be a pall bearer. My original plans were to hang out on campus with all my un-gradumacated friends whom I love dearly (not joking, they're like my adopted family and children). But in not being on campus I saved myself from buying more books I don't need. Also I wanted to keep him company on the long drive up and back, and I do believe that funerals are important and need to be experienced to better understand life (no joke, I took a class on "ritual and burial"). Also in today's culture we are not exposed to death as it was meant to be, we do not wade through the streets bringing out our dead, or worry that our children or wives may not live through child birth or typhoid or fording the river. Times are different... Speaking of which, I'm gonna find and play Oregon trail... yeah... my oxen will die... mmmmm dysentery....
