One of the classes I'm taking is History of Early Civilization and I'm really looking forward to week four when our schedule says we'll be covering Mesopotamia and Judaism. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it will be good 😭

The funny thing is that we're also covering early xtianity and the schedule mentions that we'll need a copy of the Bible. Of which I don't have. So I'll have to use an online alternative. I used to have a copy, but as you can tell, I don't read it and don't particularly want to keep it

#jumblr #personal thoughts tag #i am an asocial people person. i absolutely love people and this class seemed right up my alley #hot take: later points of history (e.g. medieval europe or the Industrial Revolution) are overrated #i LOVE ancient history. i absolutely go FERAL over it #sometimes i think about ancient hominids a little too hard and start crying a bit #i want to meet an australopithecus. i want to see the night sky as the neanderthals saw it #i love more modern points of history but there's somethinf precious about these ancient points of history #this is also i experience in judaism. i always fantasize about what the temples were like and how people existed then #i don't just want to know what it was. i want to have experienced. and yes i am rattling the bars of my enclosure because this is impossibl #we live in the best point in history in many ways and i for one will be the first to say it. but i want to know Everything #that reminds me of that one scene in paris is burning but instead of going 'opulence... you own EVERYTHING'#i go 'knowledge... you know EVERYTHING'#ashamed to say that i would be tempted by herma-mora 😭#i should never get my hopes up when a module or class mentions judaism and jews weren't part of any of that portion of the class. HOWEVER #i am perhaps boo-boo the fool because i never want to learn my lesson
