Looking on into the future

Today I had a pretty revolutionary idea: perhaps I should be looking at myself less critically. Over the past couple of months I have been undergoing a pretty fundamental deconstruction of what it is to be "Chris," with respect to Chris. It's kind of hard to contextualize and even harder to reconcile a post about it but I think there's hope in the future.

Given the fact that I: firstly had a bad experience at an (arguably) politically correct liberal arts University which turned out to be a lot more liberal than I expected, secondly discovered a lot about myself and interpersonal things that I probably would have (given the chance to choose) chosen not to find out I am cautiously optimistic about what life brings to me after I post this.

For some who may not already know, I've left my University after only one semester for emotional stress issues and a plain fact that it's the antithesis of what I want in a college. What I think I want it something like Hillsdale [ small, conservative, honest, and true ] without all of the humbub of - well - everything else I have up until now seen.

I'm frankly getting quite exhausted with the cause and effect apporach in deciding my career - based on others opinions - and am forking out. I am first visiting a Jesuit Institution in Seattle called Seattle University and that visit is firstly on my mind.


But more frankly, I think Hillsdale will be a fit made in heaven.


More on this later, but I must relax after a very stressful day.

Strange Experience

Every had one of those experiences where everything isn't going to well? Picture this - stuck in a car with someone who basically thinks the opposite of what you think, and is arrogant. This guy (Joe, let's say) talked more often about inappropriate behavior more frequently than any time I've heard it elsewhere. Wow, now I need to watch the office or something.
