Good morning world :)
It's a great morning in the Grahamstown today :) Hope everyone is feeling good and cheerful...I've been to church this morning :) Lol, ja my first time since I've been here this year...I plan on deepening my spiritual life this year. It really took a fall last year and this is my year to put God first and stop taking Him for granted. It's so easy to just forget about God and be sidetracked...You come here and you're like 'I'm here to study and don't have time for anything else...' And you don't think going to church is essential, especially when you could be working in that time (even though you don't) or you could catch up on some shut eye and laziness overcomes you...
I know it all too well, I've been there...and I guess I sort of am still there...I've been in the Gtown for 3 weeks, and this is my first time at church...I've found that its a lot better when you have company. At the beginning of last year when I had company I found it a lot easier to get up, get ready and go to church, but then my friend found her place somewhere else and I found my place somewhere else...And I'm not a person who really makes friends easily...So I still don't really have anyone to go with me to church, but I really want to interact with other Christians, so I've gotten my friends to be tough on me and make sure I'm out of bed and my butt is leaving res by 8:00am on a Sunday morning.
Lol, ja I know, its having quite high expectations for so early in the morning, wouldn't the later service be better...But I prefer starting my day of early...Anything to get me out of bed and to an early start is good. And getting that time at church with God and His people, and starting of my day and week with that is just a sort of good start, I think.
Keeping your sights set on God is not always easy. It sounds real bad to say this, but I know its true. It's just not that easy to keep your focus...You really need to keep your head about things and keep praying and always trying to keep in touch with God. The best way to really keep in touch is always to keep in touch with God's people. I never believed this before, but I've come to realise how necessary fellowship is. Just chilling on your own and praying and talking to God is good, but it doesn't really build you up spiritually...And you don't really grow much... By fellow-shipping with other Christians, you can hear other peoples stories and hardships...you can share in your problems...Even if you don't want to share, just having people to share God with is awesome!:)
Well, I'm happy now. I know I still need to work on my relationship with God. Just going to church is not a relationship with God. So I'm going to be trying... Hope you all have a blessed day and week ahead:)
Be blessed :)

what a day!
Hey
Yoh I haven't managed to blog in a while! Lol not that I've really blogged that often before, but ja...I have hopes...
Ah second year is really no joke. I haven't a clue what's happening to my days anymore. Before I know it it's the end of the week and end of term is coming nearer and nearer and I can barely remember the start of term.:O!Yet this is only the third week of lectures. It seems as though I'm living deadline to deadline...Things are so intensely insane and insanely intense! What's happening?! Well I guess part of the problem is the fact that I greatly procrastinate and tend to daydream a bit too often... But, honestly I just don't know where the time goes...
Well the fact that I've managed to actually squeeze in some time to blog is something to be happy about...And I am a little okay on my deadlines for tomorrow, I've managed to get my English essay done and handed in today-the earliest I've ever handed in an English essay!(and also one of the only times that I've actually done my work before it's due rather than the morning it's due:O)So that's a big up:) And so the only thing I'm left with for tomorrow is a Psychology tut:O But, that shouldn't be too intense...I've decided to bunk kung fu training tonight too:O(ja ja I know, but I went on Tuesday) and well this is a good opportunity to catch up on alot of reading, notes and studying...Yoh Comp Sci test next week:O:( People, really Comp Sci 1L1 may be considered arb and a dummy course, but don't be fooled...it's not that simple...
Anyhoo I must be off now, I hear the dining hall calling to me(ja I know, the food is crap, but when it's the only food you have, and food is rare, you look forward to it!)
Ciaos

intensity
Back to Rhodes... Ah I got back last week Thursday and this is the first chance I've gotten to blog!:O The first week of lectures have been o so hectic! Damn they really don't take it easy on us second years!
I had an assignment due yesterday for journ already. The work is just wow man. Unbelievable. I'm so craze right now and talk about a rush, this morning I had a double prac all the way up at the AMM building(7.45 :O) and straight after that I've got a comp sci lecture all the way down at the physics department! Insanity or what. Urgh but the worst part of my day is that I'm now free...until the 9th period!16.05 ! I am so hating that psychology 1 course co-ordinator dude! He told us that that was the only available time, but people who registered after us got earlier times!
And on top of that I'm broke already! Thats what English 2 does to you people, dont't do English unless you're really insane. Haha I so need to get a job, make some cash. But I need to sort out my CV firstly. And then lets not talk about kung fu commitments...But I've got to be honest, I so didn't wanna go to training yesterday, but I enjoyed. I'm glad Stayce(my fellow kung fu buddie:D) dragged me there.
Lol I'm feeling drained, heaven knows what I did to feel this way...But I feel that I should be leaving these labs...Lol ja I should...Ciaos
O and never take up comp sci peeps!...
Peace out

i haven't a clue, agro maybe?
Urghhh! I'm so tired and drained out, and yet I have basically done nothing, save for late nighters watching dvds and chatting on mxit... but that's about exciting as my life gets hey (sigh).
Well at least I can blog about the uneventfullness of my life...:) haha small pleasures:)But the weather is definitely not on my side today (not that it ever is...). It's pouring outside, I mean I love the rain and all, its utterly beautiful, just, I had such great plans to take a walk and go and chill out in the nature...now those plans are pretty much screwed up. The most exciting thing to look forward to now in my life is...a bowling extravaganza on Sunday:D. Now knowing my luck, lets pray it works out...
Though I am getting quite annoyed about going out already... Why am I always the one that has to make the plans to meet up and on top of that bend over backwards just to accommodate them too?! Since last night I have reached the decision not to bother, if other people are not willing to at least try, well then I aint gonna change my plans just for them. Life's about living and having fun, not about standing around and waiting for other's...
That's enough of my whining for one morning I think hey...lol mwahs
Peace out rockstarz ;)

Back to school
Hmm... So we're getting nearer to that time again, going back to uni! Hmm, leaving the luxuries of my warm bed at home and brilliant home cooked meals, to go to the beauties of res dining hall cuisine ooh...how exciting!:D
Lol I'm really not too sure how I feel about going back to the Gtown (Grahamstown for those who don't know). Okay, so it is a beautiful plek and alles, I mean I really do love the place, but I'm really gonna miss home too. The meals, bed, family, friends, my lil nunuz Cuddles and lets forget that special other that I've grown even closer to this ho l:(. Ah sad times...
But good times too... Getting to see all the maats from Rhodes! I missed em guys so much! And I'm really physched up to get going and start living! Woohoo! And, well first year was awesome, but it was a true learning experience. Now that I'm all growed up I think I'm better equipped to handling university, and more especially...Rhodes. for all those people out there that think university life is one heck of a joy ride,peeps it aint. Sure it's fun, but you really gotta work. So just remember balance menses, its all about balance.
Anyhoo that's it, I've got to go get started on the preparations for uni. Yikes, I'd rather not think about it right now though. But, from past experiences, now is better than never.
Peace out
