Grad School and My Strange Relationship with God:
(Let's pick up the pace a little...)
  • 21. Grad school was expected in my family, not a choice.
  • 22. I was not very motivated for grad school, especially since I didn't take any break.
  • 23. I do enjoy Statistics. And Math.
  • 24. I was a T.A. in college. At 21, I was younger than most students in my class.
  • 25. One time the prof I T.A.ed for had to leave town, so I lectured the class. 90 students.
  • 26. I always had stage fright. Petrified whenever I had to go in front of people. Being a T.A. and later, aerobics instructor, helped me overcome those fears.
  • 27. I was born and raised Catholic, but in grad school, a friend got me involved in a fundamental Christian church.
  • 28. I can't stand Catholics ever since.
  • 29. Among things I believe: God created the heaven and the earth (yes, in seven days), Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Jesus is the Son of God, Christ's second coming, etc, etc.
  • 30. I believe that if we can bring God to our level of understanding and can invoke him at will - that's not God, that's Genie.
