Viva la Resistance

I've been bad this week.  Just back from retreat and what am I doing?  I'm renting DVD's like "The Night Listener" and stuffing my face with candy while watching them.  So much for resisting the vending machine.  Actually, I haven't purchased anything from the vending machine since I've been back, so I guess in a sense my resisting the vending machine has worked.  Hey!  I feel better already!  I probably won't be renting any movies after this week, though, as my schedule is filling up with work and school already.

I had my first class on Textual Criticism yesterday morning before an eight hour shift at the bookstore and today I have another class on methodology in the afternoon.  I signed up for four classes total, but two of them are eight-week intensives that start in March.  Since I'm working full-time, I may need to drop the Tibetan text class and take it later.  I don't think I can handle four classes while working full-time. 

I'm also getting going on my new work-study assignment this semester in Marketing (actually Admissions).  If someone can set up a database for prospective students, I'll do a lot of data entry and stuffing envelopes.  Hopefully, the schedule will be flexible enough that I can take work home over the weekend. Oh, and I may also visit Dharma centers to try and recruit some students.  We'll see how that develops.

Nothing really Dharma related to report at this point, though Garchen Rinpoche, a tulku in the Drikung lineage, will be visiting L.A. in February and I hope to attend those teachings.  I'm also trying to figure out my summer plans.  I was looking into doing retreat this summer, but I may need to stay here and work.
