Can't believe i've been here 2 and a half months now. Time really flies, and two months doesn't sound like a long time, but it feels like i've been here forever. I've made good friends, settled in well, I think.
Handed up an essay this morning which I had been working on all weekend. Didn't sleep for almost two days! But i'm just glad that it's in, it's out of my system, I can now concentrate on other more important things...like other projects!!
Hmmm... weather's been getting cold lately. It's raining heavily outside now. Wearing the nice warm timberland jacket aunty Layhong gave me before I left. Mmm nice, warm and comfy. Not to mention waterproof too!
Can't wait to get internet at home. My landlord was supposed to have gotten it fixed soon. Hope he keeps to his word. Then it'll be so much easier to blog. I'm in uni now using their comps, so can't put pics simply cos they're not with me.
Ah well. Hope i'll have interesting pics and posts in the future. I do, it's just that by the time i get to uni, i don't feel like blogging. We'll see how things to...

My cousin forwarded this to me on email, thought i'd share it with you...
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN
By Maya Angelou
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I'm clean living'."
I'm whispering, "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
---
Be blessed!

Confusion. Feeling a little disappointment. With myself, with certain people around me. I'm somehow finding myself giving in to things i don't want to do, things i thought i had control over before, such as my studies, my life. I've been kidding myself, thinking that i'm in a new environment and that i'm just brand new. But old habits never change, and i find myself no different from my old days.
Oh Lord, take control. I'm spinning out of orbit.
Easter. It saddens me that the nation of Australia is so caught up with chocolate eggs and easter sales from Kmart socks & underwear to tyres. And there's always that cursed rabbit to represent Easter. Is this what easter is all about? What ever happened to that part where Jesus sacrificed His life in our place? Oh how we forget.
Lately i've been feeling sick. unwell. My head's spinning as i type this. Migraines maybe? But since i've been alone here, i've had to take care of myself more than i had before. Not that i'm having trouble with that, but having to worry bout so many things is giving me a headache. Oh Lord, again i cry out, take these worries off my shoulders.
Strangely though, i know all these promises, and i know He cares for me. But i somehow again find myself in the situation where my head speaks a different language from my hands.
i don't know if i can get through this.
I thought i was stronger. I thought i should be the one who impacts the world and not the other way round.
God, give me strength...
