The years go on, and we're still fighting it...

I just got rejected in a major way. Harris totally dissed me for Jeff. It was pretty harsh. I'm being blithe, but seriously... I'm a little wounded.

I'm registered! Hurray! I'm even excited about most of my classes! I'm not very excited about Literary Criticism, but I'm very excited about Images of Women in Literature (which I have with Christian, and I'm excited about that) and Nature Writing. I'm also very excited about Freshman Composition, believe it or not.

Today I had a breif conversation that was completely textbook. I mean, straight out of Gender Communications. It was ridiculous. Thing is, knowing how and why we interact doesn't really change the interactions, which sucks. It just means that I don't get angry because I've analyzed why I'm getting angry and realized that it's unproductive and really no fault of either party. However, that doesn't stop the anger, it just gives it no outet. Except I'm not an angry person, generally, and I was upset about a million other things. Anyway, just really interesting... I think that class should be required. The only two classes I've had that I see practical applications for in every day life are that and psychology; perhaps sociology, but I think that's a shaky science at best.

Tonight I took William and Harris to McDonald's, and we had a really nice time; Jeff came, too. After much playing and running about, we went to BAM, which was also nice. We read and saw Jessica and played with the train. They got to bed a little later than usual; maybe they'll sleep late tomorrow.

While running around campus this afternoon, I helped three different people find buildings, including two exchange students and an older woman (I walked with her). While I'm less and less a believer in fate of any type, I definitely believe a reason happens for everything. I think these people would have found their way if I'd been in class as I should have been; however, because I wasn't, I'm glad that the powers that be decided to use me, because it really helped brighten my day.
