Thank God there were no Christian Leadership Talks today. Not that I find it boring and irrelevant. I just hated the way the module was set,and i dont really agree with some of the statements. I have no problems with the module's central metaphor and motiff (although, its a give-away and would really bore me). God as Potter and the human race as clay being shaped to his design. Highly biblical and rich in tradition. Good metaphor too. Perhaps a short meditation and a reflection on it would do to strike a point. But to actually discuss the stages of actual pottery and giving a very lengthy assignment on how we can compare the stages of pottery to our lives-- that's too much!

Maybe i just hate the idea of stretching the metaphor too much. Sometimes, and especially if its very good,a metaphor can stand on its own and strike the point. Maybe i just don't want to recall my life again and note its details.

So I found myself leaving the department and rushed to enroll for my grad studies.I realized,I will be taking Literary Masterpieces of the Western World under Marjorie Evasco. Beacuse of this, the hunt for the required reading anthology became an unconquerable itchiness.

I returned to my table and recalled the things I was supposed to do. I was again reminded of this crazy pottery stuff. Instead of listing down certain events in my life and relate it to the pottery metaphor, I listed down in mind the many reasons why i found this activity such a pain. I realized, maybe i have been a hard clay for so long now that I refuse to be shaped.
