To be completely honest when it comes to religious thinking- I don't. My knowledge of Christianity is about a broad as my knowledge of Buddhism. Sure my Mom made us go to church as children, I even went to church camp for a couple of summers. But when you're 13 its more about the boys there, than God. My goal, once I was in college, was to learn about different religions around the world- and then decide for myself which one I believed in the most and declare it as my own. But after my one and only religion class (and getting a C in it) I found that I just don't get it. I don't understand religion.

But, I have gotten way off subject. So now, here I am in grad school and things are going great. Really great. Oddly great. Could it be fate that I am here? If it wasn't for my ex boyfriend I would have never known this beautiful school even existed. If he hadn't been acting like a turd in the spring I would have never decided to get an apartment in Athens. Then, how about the fact that my room mate is from Thailand and I'm studing in the Southeast Asian program? And I'm taking Thai. Crazy! Or if I didn't break up with my boyfriend, I would never met the rockstar. I would not have gotten closer to my friends at the library. The last 2 months would not have been as wonderfully (if thats a word) awesome as they have been. I would probably be some big tub of goo and unhappy working at Sears. So is it fate?

  I am a big believer in fate.  Maybe because the idea that life is coincidental and random is scarier than the idea that some cosmic force has a design for you.  But alas, fate is my dominatrix.
