I'm in hostel now! i think Justina and I are both clean freaks. Come in to our room and you will smell the strong Dettol smell. Internet connection has been good, I can access the internet almost everywhere. The canteen food wasn't that good though. It was cheap but not really that nice. I'm starting to
miss home-cooked food. A meal with spicy food which also includes a bowl of soup. Lessons have started and I'm still trying to concentrate and not let my thoughts wonder around during lectures.
Just finished choosing my electives and I only managed to get one of it! so 5 modules for this sem and only 15 AUs!! But I shall not worry and have trust in God like how I trusted in Him when I chose my core modules. I thought I would not be able to get anymore core modules after being pre-assigned to two as there wasn't anymore vacancies. After checking for 2 futile nights, I gave up and left everything to God. Probably God wanted me to read on a book that I was hesistant on reading as I was really worried about my courses. On that night, I finished reading half of the book and decided to try my luck on the courses again. God's grace fell upon me when I realised that they opened up 13 more vacancies for the course that I wanted. At that point of time, I knew that God was testing my faith and obedience towards Him. And I'm glad I obeyed His words and was not stumbled by my worries. Praise God!
No one is perfect. Judge not or you will be judged. I think all of us need to get honest with others and ourselves by being honest and not hiding our fears. Who cares if people like you or not, the key at the end of the day is being true to yourself. It’s about being humble enough to admit your wrongs and ask for help with what you are afraid of. Don’t run from your fears, but face your fears. When we are able to share them with others, that’s when we overcome them because we are no longer trying to keep it in the dark but we are bringing it to the light.
