So I've been thinking about this since Friday. I was walking to class and I saw one of the girls in my class. We talked about how we hoped that the guest lecturer was coming so we could have a little break from regular lecture. We're studying Judaism right now, so the guest lecturer was supposed to be a woman talking about her experiences as a Jew. I was thinking it was going to be cool and I mentioned it to the girl in my class. And she was like, "Well, I don't think I need anyone to tell me what it's like to be a Jew. I already know." So, ok. You're Jewish. That's sweet. But don't you think that you've probably not had the same experiences with your faith? I certainly don't presume that I've had the same feelings and experiences as every Catholic. I don't understand why she assumes she would already know everything. Maybe I'm just crazy. It's not a big deal. The girl is smart and always has something intelligent to say in class, so maybe she really does know everything there is to know about her religion. Who knows.
So only about 2 weeks until Spring Break. I'm way excited. I have a ton of stuff to do before it comes around, but it will be well worth it. Raj is coming home with me on that first weekend and we're going to visit Tracy in Chicago for a day. Jenna and Jason are going too, so that'll be fun. Raj will go back to the Sagnasty after that and then I will work in my bedroom to finish packing and perhaps babysit. Not the best spring break ever, I guess, but still good. I like hanging out with Jack and he'll probably be the one I see most. Maybe I can get him to sleep on the foot of my bed. He's cute when he does that. :o)
Ok, it's time to shower and get ready for the day of papers and reading and research. Excellent, no? Maybe I'll update later. I'm sure I'll need things to procrastinate with. You know me.
