Milton may never get read. Perhaps it's because I'm too much of a Calvinist, or perhaps simply because Satan is too attractive a character to let me read; I am damned. Many of his words, about predestination and human responsibility, etc, seem to echo my thoughts, and I don't really need to reinforce the trained-in "Zana you are going to hell for thinking, not believing" that society has been throwing at me for so long that I instinctively believe it. Which is bullshit because even when I was an atheist I still believed I was going to go to hell.
Actually, all of that is just my excuse to procrastinate.
Dressed up today for a Teach for America interview, then got my senior picture taken. The photographer is rather nuts (abducted by aliens nuts) but I'm told he's a genius in terms of his art. I shouldn't be talking, either: I have effectively shown myself to be rather nuts on occassion. Like yesterday. I woke up, went over to Lamont to eat, and everybody I knew and said "hi" to didn't seem to know me. There were two explanations, I decided: either I had gotten really drunk the night before and nobody wanted to talk to me now, or I had fallen into a parallel universe where I didn't exist. It speaks to jsut how tired I was that I concluded that the second explanation was the more plausible. Slept most of the afternoon, then got up and discovered that I hadn't gotten all the eye-makeup off the night before, so I looked rather like a raccoon. Intriguing.
The search for my totem animal continues. My nickname may be Turtle, but I don't feel that that's my true spirit animal.
In other news, could anyone tell me why I'm taking the math GRE?
