Hi all!! Wow , took a little break there didn't I. I've been busy being a student the last few weeks, and its paying off ever so slightly. My grades are up, my stress levels are down and my skin looks good!! (the marker of a truly happy woman, according to my flatmates' tabloids). The secret - ignore your problems and hope they go away!! HA ha, seriously, that is exactly what I have been doing and now I fear it is time to return to the real world. Its been fun though. Got active in a society, got a series of 1sts in my essay (i.e. the highest mark band)started eating more fruit -really, it helps and I can tell the difference!! Ah, it was a dream. And now that I've experienced it, I want to have it all the time.
What that essentially means is that once I need to get through this year and then move out of the uni and find seriously mediocre housing. Just for two years, live in absolute poverty and save up some money. I just need for housing/money to not be a problem for two years, to get my degree and then get gone. I really want to get as much from my university life as possible, but all the while keeping in mind that I am here to study, you know? Wouldn't it be a shame if I saved up all the money in the world but didn't get what I came here to get?
That said, my different jobs have been a roller coaster ride of experience. I am up to number 5 now. Mostly because 95% of the time I have been working two jobs (which still doesn't get me out of debt). You always read about all these amazing people who do this kind of stuff when they're in uni, but you never really think that when you're doing it its that amazing. And it really isn't. Because it has to be done, and I think all of us when put under the right mix of pressure will do whatever because it has to be done.
I don't think I am remarkable - I believe that everyone who sets their mind to it can be the most that they can be. I do believe that the God I serve is remarkable, and if I place my hope and trust in him I can maybe some day aspire to greatness. But right now, I'm just happy to be happy, y'know?
Quite a ramble there - sometimes completely unconnected. But that's the way things stand in my life at the moment. All the random bits are slowly tying together, which means that sometimes you follow a certain line and it leads to something else, and then something else - and then just when you think its all going to make sense, the line stops. So not everything is connected, not all the loose ends tie together into one neat pattern. But that's alright. I can diggit.
