This has been a very interesting week for me. Very awesome. Wonderful friends! I know it's been interesting for all of us in the gang too. We've all had our troubles... I now find however, on looking back, that I must ask: in my last entry did I really need to mix my confessions with a bunch of defensiveness? Could I not simply express aloud that I'd been sinning and felt so bad, without fear of other Christians judging me? Unfortunately, my experiences tell me: no. I did need to feel protected from judgments. And it isn't for no reason. I mean come on guys, look around you! It seems everyone in churches is always deciding on whether or not your are worthy of this or that, based on your deeds! Is this not true??? OK then if you say not, dear reader, then I must be hallucinating...Either that, or you're blind. Anyway before I leave that at that, I'll leave a quote I read on a profile while chatting with a naughty girl on a yahoo chatroom some time ago: "the only one who can judge me is God." OK new subject: This week has really renewed a passion in me to become a psychologist and/or counselor. I love people so much... (especially girls, heh heh...ok bad joke) I sat in my Psy class today listening to the different methods of helping other people... Psychoanalysis, the Humanism approach, reflective listening...Focusing on your future and changing, as oppose to focusing on the past behaviors (Maslow vs. Freud for ya)... Well there may be something of the two in common...I dunno. All this great stuff in Psychology. People are wonderful treasures. Good heavens, we really need to get past the stupid mistakes we make, and start looking at the beauty that is us humans. God already does, and He has been doing so for quite some time... :-) And He'll continue to do it still........K, different subject: I'm getting really excited about life. This morning I went to www.bc.edu (Boston College). Boston is of course in Massachusetts... Oh gosh, I saw some pics of the school and surrounding areas, and it's breathtakingly beautiful!!! Just the average entering GPA is 3.7 or something, so I'd have to be dedicated, but... I think I can do it. I think I can make it to BC if I wanna. I was thinking about Marquette University a while ago... And now (not rather than, but in addition to Marquette) I'm thinking about Boston College. In fact, both schools happen to be Jesuit. (Well alright, they don't "happen" to be Jesuit, lol, I was selective) Anyway I'm really excited about the thought of it. I have a friend who goes to Boston University (different from Boston College), so maybe I'd get to see him. I think he's in grad school though, so I dunno how well our "social baggage" would mingle, heh heh....... I plan to go to CPCC at least for this coming Fall semester, and then try to transfer into another school this January for the Spring semester... BC only accepts like, 20 credit hours (I think), and so I don't really feel like taking classes at CPCC for nothing. But then again, I didn't include BC on my FAFSA, so I may have to stay for another year... and then there's that one-year lease everyone wants you to sign... Eughh... too much to think about... Ah but hey, maybe if I stay for another semester, I can have a blast! I could take all sorts of drama and art classes and stuff... ooh and maybe I could start playing my violin again! Like, join the CPCC Orchestra. Eww wow, thinking introspectively has its rewards!!! heh heh.
Hmm... anything else now...? I'll say thank you, to every one of my God-given friends. Thanks everyone!!! All of you have a wonderful Weekend, and I hope your problems get worked out. :-)
In our Lord Jesus Christ, Jason Tittle.
