Someday I’ll understand why I took a religion class

Posted by: Katie Kish In: S'all bout moi

what i like most about my last post is how i put "their" instead of "there"…. Good one. Natasha does that on Sex and the City too - and Carrie laughs at how stupid she is.

i actually am studying right now. i took a small break here inbetween Indian culture and sikhism to finally put food in my tummy and check e-mails. My notes for the class are seriously hilarious… I get really frustrated because the prof is very passionate about the topics… so he doesn’t like it being questioned… and a lot of the time definitions will contradict themselves… so I’ll write really bitter and mean things in my notes instead of the definitions… It doesn’t help the studying process, but it does add a comedic aspect to it.

I really don’t want to write this midterm tomorrow. The chances of me getting 75+ are looking more and more slim as I keep uncovering more and more material that I need to learn. I also have to read a 250 page book as there will be an essay question about it…

but of course there is no info for the book online because its one that my prof wrote… so I actually have to read it.

the really good news is, I’m listening to a really fanfuckingtastic remix of Feist’s One Evening… It is on a CD, but later or tomorrow I’ll rip the CD and upload the song. I can’t get over how good it is.

Speaking of how good things are, I’ve started season 3 of the L word, wowwzers. (For those of you that watch and want to know where i am, "someone" just got cancer!! what!?! does the person die??? because that would be an awesome plot twist.)

anyway, break time is over. time to scratch sikhism temporarily into my brain.

Good lxuk on your exam. Your notes at least sound fun.

Is your course in Sikhism? Where are you taking the course?

A lot of profs get Sikhism totally wrong. They approach it from a Western / Orientalist perspective, and they generalize a lot of things. They give it a stereotype of Indian culture while it is actually a universal teaching.
