Aced my exams, got an "A" in the class. Boooooyeah. Good thing I can function on very little sleep at times.

Just because I'm a glutton for punishment, I've signed up for two classes in the fall. One is "Judaism, Christianity, Islam" and the other is "Religion and Pop Culture". Then, in the spring, I should be starting back at University of Arizona for 3-4 classes a semester.

Packrat tendencies paid off - a bunch of the books that I need for these classes, I already have from various other classes. I was going to donate a few of them. For example, my copy of the Koran. I didn't think I really needed it and then I remembered V for Vendetta and decided that everyone needs a copy of the Koran and kept it.

Went to Ikea yesterday and OMG - way too much money spent. Thank God for mum's credit card. I bought shelving and organizers to get some of this crap out of boxes and looking sort of nice. I've also spent the day unpacking, hanging ceiling fans and, generally, cleaning crap up. House feels nicer since I got that stuffs done.

Bit of advice - if the light has insulation in it, don't buy it. Seriously. Think of the poor schmuck who has to take it down. Do you really want insulation dust raining down on their face and slicing it up to hell and back? What do you need insulation in a light for anyway? That shit is flammable! You really don't need it up there with lightbulbs that might explode and then catch the insulation on fire.

So, um, I take it you all aren't big Boondock Saints fans? Not even the ones that profess to be? Cause, um, not to sound needy but I posted 7500 words of a Boondock Saints fic and three of you have read it and only 1 has commented. Just saying.........

An A? Congratulations!!!

I have the feeling we're going to have interesting posts about religion next fall :D

Thanks! And yes, it shall be interesting. The classes definitely sounded dynamic plus they let my student loans go into "in school" deferment so I stop getting interest accrued on them. Bonus!

Yay! Congrats on the awesome exam scores. Sounds like things are going very well right now. More yays!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!!! And yes they are! The timing is quite excellent.

You start the new job this week? (My memory for schedules sucks)

[waterbird.livejournal.com]

Started the new job last week. Very good so far, and quite laid back. I think I'm going to enjoy it.

Way to go on the exams! Your fall classes sound cool. I took "Judaism, Christianity, and Islam" at my U last year and I really enjoyed it. They don't offer "Religion and Pop Culture" here, but if they did I totally take it, it sounds fascinating.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks! OOHHHHHH, i might hit you up for stuff on that one then!

And yeah, the religion and pop culture is all about how religion influences pop culture and always has. So, it's a combo history class and religion class.

[akakat.livejournal.com]

Totally ask me about stuff. Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I do enjoy intelligent discussion!

where is this alleged bds fic? did i miss it?

[wook77.livejournal.com]

here (http://wook77.livejournal.com/150012.html). It's got cameos from The Black Donnellys but it really just sets the scene :). I think I posted it before you friended me because you never friended me until recently. *weeps emo tears*

Now in all seriousness, I woke up this morning, saw the comment from awhile back asking about the third. On July 3rd, the Knight Bus is coming to Phoenix and I was going to go up and take a gander. Thought it might be fun to meet up :).

[ex-crystalle432.livejournal.com]

ahhh now i have plans on the 3rd! *cries* BUT if you don't mind just hanging around our apartment, you are welcome to stop by! i won't be home until around 5:30.

*runs to read bds fic*

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I'm actually going to be heading up with a friend so I can't do that but we should plan some sort of something, definitely :).

[incapricious.livejournal.com]

Religion and Pop Culture? Interesting. :)

Congrats on the A!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it isn't one of those lecture lecture lecture blahblahblah classes as it just sounds wicked cool.

and thanks!!! Now I get to sleep, it is lovely!

[lurkitty.livejournal.com]

Fantastic on the A! Congrats. I, too, subscribe the the notion that everyone needs a Koran. And a Gita. Sounds like a fun term!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I have both! I took a few religion classes way back and I've been carting these books around and not reading them. That, my friend, is going to change.

I definitely will be having a good time. The UA has a few classes on Buddhism and Hindu and stuffs... thought maybe I'd hit you up for help if you don't mind.

[lurkitty.livejournal.com]

Please do! Though I am still learning, I love discussing this stuff.

[wendy.livejournal.com]

I cannot make myself read BDS fic. I've TRIED but it...just doesn't click in my brain.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

:( there's some good stuff out there too so that blows :( You're totally missing out.
