No Sleep Tonight 2004-10-26 @ 2:37 a.m.
I was not able to get to sleep tonight, so after about an hour of trying I gave up and decided to stay up and get more stuff done. It really is not that bad because I do not think I ever really felt that tired to begin with. My eyes were the only part of my body that felt sleepy, and even then it seemed to be a conditioned response that wore off after I had the lights on for awhile. Not that I have done anything terribly exciting tonight. I knocked off another hundred pages or so of sociology of religion reading and am almost caught up, or at least I like to think so. I do not know if I can read any more of it now. What a pain this class has been. I really thought it was going to be different, but even if I had gotten a much better professor, I guess I just don't agree with the fundamental approach of the field. Religion is so much more than socialization and institutional memberships. These guys only study the surface of it. I think a class on religious psychology would have been much more interesting and rewarding. When I get caught up with everything I am planning to get back to reading William James "The Varieties of Religious Experience". Excellent book - I highly recommend it - it is very readable, and was originally a series of lectures.
