what you do for friends

I'm not religious at all. I don't mind learning about it which is good because I go to a liberal arts college that requires you take two religion classes. Think it's a little bit of a waste of time, but in the end it's all good. I don't believe in any certain deity or religion in particular. I'm very open in the way that life was created and works. It just is to me. I'm not a person that needs it explained to me. I just live it. I would just rather not have someone preaching to me about how I am supposed to live my life is all.

Having said that my friend was raised in a religious manner I guess you could say. She had to go to church every week and eventually this caught up with her and she questions everything about it. I believe she still is religious, but needs to find her own way back to it and not have someone dragging her along to a church she doesn't share the views of. She is a psychology major though she tends to lean more towards sociology these days. For her second religion class she chose to take Sociology of Religion. She seems to enjoy it mostly and one of her assignments is to attend two different church services, have people fill out some sort of survey, and then interview the pastor.

Now comes the part where sometimes you do things you would not do normally and honestly things you would rather not do. I am going to church in the morning. Yep. I am. We are both good friends with a professor from the college and his wife. They are like a second family to us, so my friend felt comfortable enough to ask them she could go with them this Sunday. And of course I get included in this as I am part of our little group and I know me being there will defintely make her more comfortable.

I really don't mind in the end, because I know my friend will be more at ease. I just keep thinking about the three tests on Monday and how I will get more out of studying for that than I will attending church in the morning.

I just chalk it up to a cultural experience a.k.a. people-watching. But seriously.... wth do i wear?
