Where do I start?
~the flat~
I moved into Everton Hall a few weeks ago, and things have been going awesome so far! I'm currently flatting with 4 Kiwis (talking about a crash course on Kiwi culture) and all of them are wonderful, funny and have their own quirks. There's Zak who always seems to be bullied (but he started most of the arguments), David who chauffeurs us around, Naomi with her funny and great personality, and Lukas with his Act party. We've pretty much settled down. We have a cooking roster, a cleaning roster and a shopping roster. And after much anticipation - Internet and landline! And dearest ex-roommate Fi has a PR here. So it's all GOOD!
~university~
Seriously, the money, time, energy and resources demanded by education are growing on an exponential rate. I've just spend loads of money on textbooks, lots of energy worrying about whether I should take the test on Friday (in the end I decided not too because I was too afraid that I will fail) and lots of time TRYING to do readings and study for the test (which I'm now NOT going to take). I got bored of financial accounting so blogging seemed like a really good idea. I didn't know what I was reading. No clue to what the book is trying to tell me. Too many words.
~ICF~
Kiwi 101, ICF's first official meeting is tomorrow. Elaine and I have been planning this for quite a while, and it is a great joy to be able to finally see the fruit of our plans! Car rally is on the next day, and it is everyone's prayer that all will go well. We pray for more people, more impact and more meaningful relationships. I'm trying hard to look at the bigger picture of the things I'm doing, taking to heart that everything happens for a reason, good or bad. I can't control the events surrounding me or the people around me. Heck, I can't even control my own life, but I can control me. God controls everything else. And that should give me enough peace to handle all these things that are coming my way.
~something meaningful~
