I didn't have class this morning. My prof was summoned for Jury duty and wasn't pardoned so class was tentatively cancelled until i received this email
"My dept. Chair says it is unacceptable for me to cancel classes for two weeks, yet I am legally required to be on jury duty during that time.  Nobody seems to know quite what to do.  Chair says I should tell you, "Await further instructions."  So, please watch your e-mail for further instructions.  Maybe another faculty member will take my classes, or something.

Isn't this fun?"

so who knows what's going to happen there. It was for philosophy of science (phil 350) which was a much more promising class before the semester started. while philosophy of science and data interpretation are some of my favorite over-some-beers topics, it's hard to really grasp the scientific material when the prof has very little scientific training. one can't really talk about quantum mechanics when one has no physics training, but such is life.

after my morning got rolling i became abnormally grumpy. i should not have been grumpy at all. class was cancelled and i got to sleep in. but every little thing started setting me off. i started thinking about orthodoxy again.

so today i've been praying and trying to remind myself, as rich mullins said, that god did not call us out of this world to make us happy or to make us pious. because there are enough happy people and there are enough pious people. God called us out of this world to make a difference. And you won't make a difference by building more bombs. You won't make a difference by putting on more make up and appearing on more tv shows. you won't make a difference by marrying the person that you're in love with. you won't make a difference by going to the school you've always wanted to. you will, however, make a difference whey you lay down your life, and in complete submission to God, choose to die with him.

I had lunch with icthys_1 today. it was good. but now i'm tired and i'm going to take the bus home, take a nap, and play psychonauts.
