Obligatory Blog Post
Musings for you to enjoy:
- My first week of graduate school is shaping up nicely. I’m excited about my finance classes; for the first time in quite a while, I will be gaining cold, hard knowledge in a rewarding field. For example, in one of my classes, I will have the opportunity to manage several hundred thousand dollars in a portfolio of my (team’s) choosing…hot. Also, I will learn about the tests one can take to become a certified financial analyst…also hot. :-)\
- The campus preachers have returned with even more of a block on their shoulders than ever. Apparently, my status as a student ensures that I’m going to hell, since God never was a student. Dropping out and joining the workforce won’t save me, either, since God never…you know the rest. The “unnatural” desire to avoid war is also cited as a abomination against God, which, obviously, calls into question Jesus’ appellation as the “Prince of Peace.” Ugh…this astounding lack of logic/literacy/religious context/sanity is the most amazing I’ve ever seen this side of PETA. However, I do want each and every one of you to use thewesternworld@hotmail.com as your new spam-collection address; use it early and often!
- I bought Futurama Volume 4 on DVD Tuesday evening; I’ve already finished watching it through once, and am about to go back and watch the commentary. I never realized that season 4 had so many bitter references to the show’s own cancellation, along with a Lotus Notes joke I had missed entirely. Some things are never fully appreciated until they’re gone.
