attending institute

well, i found an institute teacher who i actually enjoy attending... and i have almost perfect attendence (even though i am not on the attendence roll). i'm not sure what his name is, but he's pretty cool. i'm not positive, but i think he has some sort of ancient language degree from a non-byu school. the last time i attended institute before this, i asked a question about god's foreknowledge. the institute made fun of me with a joke, everyone laughed, and i hadn't attended since. so anyways, this new guy is pretty cool. he's got a lot of insight into israelite customs and the book of mormon which i haven't noticed before, plus he seems pretty open about questioning popular beliefs and other hang-ups i have had. so yeah, institute really isn't all that bad.
