conformity

sociology.

we got the first exam back tonight--my teacher is a funny kid. don't get me wrong, i really enjoy the class and i think he's a very good teacher, but i stayed after class to ask a question about one of the answers that i got wrong and he acted all weird about it b/c i'd already gotten an A. i was confused b/c that was perfectly normal behavior for me and the people in my high school classes...

                                 we were trained to be this way. 

i feel like a machine.

funny though, b/c i was just reading this morning:


"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice--the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is."
~romans 12:1-2
