---------------------------

I'm supposed to be sleeping right now, but of course, I'm not. I have something going in the morning, and I'll probably make myself wake up anyway. But oh well.

I'm supposed to be starting work on Monday, but I have no idea what I'll be doing. I have to pick up some paperwork from my last job, but have not been able to get in contact with them.

Don't really know why I'm writing. Don't have much to say.

There's a girl in my ethics class who's got talking with me. I misjudged her at first, quite honestly, but now it seems like we're getting along well. She's very easy to talk to. She recognised Jay and Silent Bob on my T-shirt... well, she asked if it were Silent Bob, and she couldn't remember Jay's name right off. She said she's seen Mallrats and a couple other movies they're in, but not Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. It was just cool that she acknowledged the shirt and talked about it with me. Most people just ignore the bizarre stuff I wear to class.

I'm wanting to write more in that spiritual matters journal I have; there are specific things I want to write about. I just haven't gotten back to it yet. I also have a free-reading book I want to get to.

Tonight in class, we were talking about the foundation of ethics, where some of the underlying assumptions come from. One is that professionals are the modern day aristocracy. But, hey, it's okay, because they get where they are because of achievement and not birth. That's a load of garbage. Not everybody has the luxury of going to college. Many people much smarter than university types don't end up becoming professionals, either because they don't have the money to go to some stupid college, or because they don't want to. Some people have principles and won't allow themselves to be corrupted by such filthy forces as corporate America and commerce. All we are is selling a service, one that is greatly misunderstood. Too many people view therapists as gurus, primarily those in the field itself. They think they have all the answers, and people pay to go find out the true meaning of life. How can we continue under such a grievous misconception?

So many signs tell me I'm going the wrong way.
