Mine's on the 45

Jul 26, 2005 11:47

It's 11:50 in the morning and I'm tired, and it sucks. Latin just got out. I had an interesting night last night, volleyball with church folks, tennis with D-Train, and some interesting talks with people. Since high school I've found myself in the role of counselor to lots of people... It can be difficult. I decided awhile back to get a psych degree, and likely a doctorate in psych, on top of my classics degree so that I can one day help people like that for a living. I used to think I could just get my doctorate in classics and teach somewhere and never really have to do much work again, atleast that took much thought. I couldnt really justify that with my wanting to help society, which I sometimes lament. In any case, I pretty much know now that I am going to be a psychologist. That goal is going to be annoying, adding roughly a year and a half to get my bachelor's, but I know it'l be worthwhile. I always wonder if I only want to help people so that I dont have to worry about my own problems. Maybe thats why I used to, but I've come to peace with most of them and are no longer paralyzed by unnecessary worry. So, atleast I'm doing it for the right reasons.

I have a new member discussion with the missionaries tonight. They want me to come with them to talk to an investigator. That doesnt seem like the best idea to me, I'm not exactly Peter F. Priesthood. But hey, if that's what they want. Hopefully I wont scare anybody off.

If you are reading this, then you've probably seen my tribute to Emo Kid. This kid is pure gold. He really could stand to listen to more Fugazi. His passion for mid nineties rock fills my heart with joy. Speaking of mid nineties rock, the best album of 1995 is Example by For Squirrels. I bought 5 or 6 of them at a used book store, so I'll be trying to make people take them, for great justice.
