I started a mythology class today. I only had two panic attacks during the 2 hours we were there, and I only started tearing up 3 times. *L* I think I did pretty well. It should be an interesting class, a lot more writing than I expected to have, and when I first saw the syllabus I was thinking to myself. Crap. This is a lot of writing for something I am taking for fun. If I didn't do so well, I would be screwing with my gpa, for nothing! But as he was talking, I could see that the way I write will/should be able to fit into his style of grading questions. So it should work out ok.
At one point during the class he felt compelled to tell us that he wasn't judging anyone's faith when it came to the myths that we will be talking about. It was intersting because in my head, I can say... well, there are things that may or may not be true about any given faith. I can recognise that there may be things said in the Bible or any other piece of religious literature that may have been put there for reasons other than being solely the word of God. It could be there to help people cope with the times, to control the masses, to get people to go along with ideas, to make people comfortable in their own skins, and feel purpose. And that is fine. I don't know if I hope that there are people open minded about religion like I am, or if there are more people deeply rooted in their faith and then more debate would come up. Which I find more interesting.
Either way, the class should be interesting and I am looking forward to next week.
As far as my photography stuff. I really need to find something else to shoot today. Suppose to take pictures each day, and I missed yesterday. Just something about it being boring, taking shots of the same stuff. I crave something new. Not sure how I am going to overcome this. I just hate winter time. Too cold. Particularly today. For the last two days, it has been 50+ degrees. This morning, I woke up to snow. And while not a lot of snow. It was pretty windy this morning and I felt like I was walking through some frozen tundra! Next time I will remember my hat and mittens!
