Completion

Woohoo, today is my final Unitarian Universalist class. I've been going once a week for four weeks now and I'm happy that I'm completing yet another thing...one of my self-healing vows has been to try to complete the things that I start...I'm pretty well-known for giving up on things before seeing them through (namely jobs, relationships, friendships, and leases). I'm doing pretty well, I must say.

Life these days

Well, I ended my last full semester with a 3.0--average, as usual. I can't wait to no longer care about gpa's!!! I'm LOVING my new job. I'm considered a Marketing Intern, which is really cool. I'd always been interested in it. Now I'm working for a Management company and it's all up to me what my job is. I am given suggestions and visions of ideas and told to make it happen...creating something out of nothing!!! They think I'm an awesome writer too...all this time I'd really thought I've just been fooling my professors...seriously. They paid the guy that did some of the stuff that I'm doing now $75/hour!!! I think I wasn't supposed to find that out, but I did. I don't think I'll ever make THAT much, but I'll do ok. I'll have to see what they offer me once I graduate in August. They've already told me my position is safe and say things like "When you're full-time with us" so it all sounds good. I actually can't believe that it's time to go home by the end of the day...I really enjoy myself!!! Never thought I'd ever be saying that.

ammends

So, for some reason, I did some in depth e-mails to all of my professors this semester. Why? I dunno. Maybe I feel like I'm getting closer to their age bracket...hell, I don't know. I'm just sick of my stupid self being so shy when it comes to my grades. I can only help myself, right? I'll report back on whether it worked or not... I'm moody. Blogs are stupid.

Satire about the infant in the womb and that indention above your lip!

From 

Reimagining the Bible: the storytelling of the rabbis

 By Howard Schwartz

Itzik Manger was first and foremost a poet; he wove aggadic themes into ballad-like poems that later became the words to many popular Yiddish songs. When the destined time for a child to be conceived arrives, God says to the Lailah, the Angel of Conception: "Know that this night a woman shall conceive. Bring forth a sperm." This the angel does, and the Lord then decrees if the child will be strong or weak, male or female, wicked or righteous, rich or poor, beautiful or homely, tall or short. God then makes a sign to the angel in charge of the spirits to bring a certain spirit hidden in the Garden of Eden, whose name is given. This angel brings forth this spirit before God, and at that moment God says: "Enter into this sperm." The spirit, however, always pleads with the Holy One, blessed be He, not to be forced to enter the impure world of being, for it is holy and pure. But God explains that He created the spirit only for this purpose and compels it to enter the sperm against its will. The angel then causes it to enter the womb of its mother. During pregnancy, two angels watch over the embryo. A light shines upon the head of the child, by which it sees from one end of the world to the other. During the day the angel shows the child the rewards of the Garden of Eden, where the righteous sit in glory with crowns upon their heads, while at night the punishments of Gehenna are revealed to him, where wicked angels beat sinners with fiery staves. At the end of the nine months, when it is time for the child to be born, the same angel comes back and tells the child to come forth into the world. And the child always begs to remain in the place where he has become accustomed to dwell. The angel then tells the child that he was formed against his will and that he will go forth into the world against his will. The angel then lightly strikes the child above the lip with its finger, causing the child to forget whatever it has seen. Then the angel extinguishes the light shining at his head and brings the child forth into the world. And as it is brought forth, it cries.
