Summer

I can't believe it's almost time for school to begin again. You'd think that three months would take longer to pass than this, but then again, I suppose I packed a whole lot into those three months. Las Vegas with the family, Oxnard to see the now-ex, Hawai'i, River coming out, and now some friends coming down from the old neighborhood, Nessa and her mom. Nessa was in my girl scout troop when I still lived up in Westlake. Really more our mothers have kept in touch more than Nessa and I have, but it's still nice to keep in touch with old friends. Remember childhood when things at least seemed simpler, remember fabricated memories, all that fun stuff.

I have some sort of stomach bug, not surprising I suppose since I've been having stomach problems for over a year now. It isn't fun. Not at all. But I've been trying to keep my mind off it. I got my first syllabus for the fall semester, for my religion in public policy class and I have started my reading. The topic is actually really interesting so that's definitely a plus since I have like 300 pages of reading or something that I have printed out from blackboard.

Religion really is an interesting topic. There are so many different religious beliefs in the world, and they're all so different but in some ways the same, I don't know how so many possible thoughts could come to be. And everyone one is always absolutely certain their beliefs are the right ones. I'm tempted to read as many religious texts as I can get my hands on and see what I can find out.
