Sin kills you in 3 turns.

Well, finally there's a slight break between midterms (nothing stresses you out more than a series of midterms and/or exams. Well, almost nothing). So far one of them went quite well (population genetics), while 2 of them are uncertain. Next order of business is to work on Lab Methods.
Course selection happened today. It went relatively smoothly. However, next semester is gonna hurt bad. Why am I taking 3 credits when 2.5 is all you need for a semester? You'd thought that I learned not to overload myself from highschool, but no. Well, it's either take the 3 credits of science courses (well, I could have taken 2.75, but seriously, if I could take the lab portion for Mammalian Physiology 2 for an extra .25 credits, why not?), or take some hardcore philosophy courses (Major Text in Philosophy) for my minor. Personally, I voted to avoid Major Text.
My cat seem to be slightly more active now. I guess the treatment is having some effect. However, her hair is super matty, and she has some sort of anemia. I guess at least her health is improving, and you can't go wrong with that.
Recently, the Campus Crusade for Christ posted a bunch of "Do you agree with Graydon" around campus. Yesterday, the opinions of Graydon (a 3rd year Zoology major) was posted on the school's paper (The Ontarion). I find it to be somewhat disturbing. Although I'm quite tollerant to most beliefs, I have difficulties accepting the idea that if you don't believe in Jesus, you face eternal damnation in hell (well, the article was slightly less agressive than that, but not by much). I cannot accept that you die because you sin (No! Sin kills you in 3 turns, courtasy of Final Fantasy X :D), and I cannot cope with the idea that you are born a sinner and you are to spend your life repenting. (To anyone who belong in any Christian religion that gets offended, don't. I haven't found an organized religion that I liked, including buddism, muslim, and christianity).
I know it's not proper to critisize without suggesting alternative, but that's too bad. It'll take too long for me to explain fully what I believe in. Needless to say, it's good to have your own personal religion, since there's a very high level of flexibility while providing you with a basic standard of moral principles.
