dostoevsky is the best ever. period.
i am doing nothing other than procrastinating from what i really need to do.
read A Severe Mercy yesterday. good book. you should read it. i could say a lot more about it, as i could Crime and Punishment, but it would feel so contrived here. and you didn't ask. read them both if you have not.
i wonder if anyone even reads this anymore. i'm on here too much, i cannot wait to get a job, and a life, and a little independence back. some responsibility might be good too. those of you that are cursing it right now, just remember that i'm wishing for it. life is not so good when there's nothing in it; i suppose adulthood is another form of childhood...but different. very good in its own way, i guess. i hope i never settle in to middle age. ugh, yuck.
the days are lost on me lately.
not only do i have to take the GRE in two weeks--i discovered yesterday--but i also must take the psych test. crap, i'm so bad at names, and that's half that test. so i'm obviously not applying to any big schools, like UW, DU, Boston anything, etc. because i freaking dropped the ball and waited too long. that's okay, i guess, but i really would've liked a shot at DU since i totally agree with their philosophy. christian schools it is for me, then, i suppose. and i decided to stay with psych bc there is a reason i chose it in the first place, and even though i would probably be really good at teaching literature, etc., it is no great loss to give up a might for a will. and it's not like i have to be a one-sided brain all my life and give up all my creativity just because i want to help children in the sex-slave industry. that is, perhaps, where my gifts and more of my passion lie, so it is obviously the better choice, even though i do love literature. i suppose i can always go back and do it later. the whole point of this was to say that i have two tests to take that i haven't studied for, which i am disappointed in myself for because i have had the time, but haven't done it, and should feel stressed about it in some way (perhaps more as punishment and a reminder for discipline in the future) but there's nothing i can do about the lost time now, except study in the time that i do have. so that is what i will be doing for the next two or three weeks. yay.
and i am so confused as to why everyone hates socialism so much. "watch out, it's scary! it's scary!" (do you rmmbr that, n? funny.)

yeah me too. people look at me in horror when i say somthing has a socialist or communist flavor to it, but i think it is good. it's like people have a snapshot of what they belive socailism is from their highschool history books and don't really consider some of the ideas that are actaully somewhat compatible with "love thy neighbor". We are so ignorant and brainwashed. the cold war is over people. russia does not equal evil. anyway, i think it is sad that as christians we are blind to the evils of capitalism merely because we were born into it and thrive on the consumerism mentality. how sad: if consumerism were a religion, christmas would be it's holiest day. come on guys! take back jesus' birthday!
it wasn't meant to be an all inclusive comment. but seriously, how many people on our floor in any given year do you think actually take the time to stop and consider the core values of capitalism?
if anything, most proabably only superficially belive that it is bad to treasure material things, yet aspire to be cogs in the machine of capitalism via business success and accumulation of wealth under the guise of "fair trade" and "open markets".
i think i meant free trade. sorry
