Thoughts on Entering "Eastern and Comparative Religions"

I start this journal with my thoughts on why I chose this course to begin with. There are a few reasons. First being I have always had an almost spiritual feeling about the east, perhaps "almost" isn't quite right, perhaps "just a feeling". So when this course was offered, I was very excited to see it and decided now was the perfect time to check out the very things I am interested in. 

I have had Dan as my teacher for a few different classes, some I did great in, others not so much :) but, none the less, figured why not try it again. 

I expect, as his style is part of my liking his class, that I will finish having so much information about these religions that I will have to continue to study them in order to even get out of them as much as I would like, meaning...with all the wonderful reading assignments, audio and video as well, there really is barely enough time to take it all in, in a mere 15 weeks. 

I look forward to exploring a very exciting part of the world with Dan and my fellow classmates and know this will be fulfilling in many ways.
