i think i bruised a part of my consciousness when i bumped into that divinity school student on campus friday. i should have just walked away from her, because i *was* busy, but i talked to her for what had to have been a half hour or more.
i told her i was an atheist, and she seemed very much like she was trying to complete an assignment for some kind of communications class by talking to people. i'll have to do similar things for my own degree. i hope she got a good paper out of it. i think all i got was sick. not from her. like i said, she was pleasant enough as her goal was most likely not to convert me but to generate academic content for herself. but just having all that in my direct consciousness for that length of time affected my perceptions of *other* things. this made functioning difficult.
i ended friday not even knowing if i was going to be able to pick up where i left off on monday, and i sent short emails very politely warning pertinent people that if i wasn't going to be able to stop myself by monday, i just wasn't going to show up. i think i'm okay now, and since the panache will buy me a *whole* lot of leadership points with some key people, i'm going for business as usual.
