Reflections

So it's been two and a half months. And I've just been wondering if I've changed at all.

The only thing I've really noticed is a new dislike for excessive self-pity. I've noticed a lot of my acquaintances blogging about how terrible their lives (or bits of them) are, and...I just haven't got patience anymore. Maybe my life has just improved, or maybe I've changed. I'm not sure. Certainly my life isn't fantastic...I spend most of my time studying or in class. But at least I'm sort of free now. I like living alone. And I don't have that terrible loneliness I always hated before, since there's always someone around.

Truthfully, though, I haven't really made many good friends, ones that will last. I've met lots of people and for this year that's certainly enough. I'm just not sure what I'll do next year once I move out of the dorms. Maybe I'll find I won't need that kind of social life for now, since I will be so busy? I don't know.

Other than that...the speaker at atheist club last night was talking about how everyone holds incorrect beliefs, and these tend to be the ones we arrived at by something other than logical rationality. This is certainly true. As much as I value logic, I am aware that emotion (non-logic) does play a large part in my beliefs. I couldn't have opinions without it, only (supposedly) factual beliefs.

...I sort of got distracted here, so I suppose I'll just post this as it is.
