School is cool
5:43 AMWhen you just had the best summer ever, it's quite hard to get back to school. But if you had the best 2 year adventure ever, it's definitely hard trying to adjust to that school vibe. But guess what? School, isn't bad after all. Except for having no friends more than the fingers on my right hand, it's all good.
I have to admit, i still don't do my homeworks on time, and i still wake up in the early hours of the morning to either read or write essays. I think my brain works better during those hours. But i am determined to be the best student i can be, and make my stay in that school worthwhile.
A lot of times i feel alien to the school that will be my second home for the coming 3 years or more. I'am also can be likened to a ghost roaming around it's corridors. With no one to talk to most of the time, i find myself quiet but happy. This quiet version of me is so different from the girl from 2 years back, who can get to know all of her blockmates in just one day. Who i am now, seems more mature...well i should be.
Although i miss getting all the freedom to do whatever i want on weekdays, i am grateful that i am where i am, and doing what i am doing. Finally, i can make my parents happy , and finally my life seems to know what kind of direction it wants to take. But above all this, i do not forget my calling. Everyday i am reminded, that all these is for God and whatever i'm gonna get from these years spent studying Communication Arts will eventually be a tool that i will use to bring Him greater glory, and reach more and more people with the love of God.
I am glad that i didn't have to leave my ministry with the kids every saturday. I thank the Lord that He has given me a time to study and a time to still do the things that i love. Everyday gets busier but it also turns out to be more beautiful. I find myself smiling all the time, filled with joy coming from the King of Kings. After months spent in confusion and uncertainty i finally am learning to fully cling on the truth that is in His word. I no longer fear the future, i know where i am heading, i know my goal and it is to love God and reach people with His love.
I am studying in a Catholic Institution, and i have to say that i admire the vision that they have for their students. They do not just want to raise professionals, but they want to raise future leaders who are God loving, family oriented and community serving individuals. Ain't that beautiful? Although i find myself having to answer alot of questions regarding my faith, it's fine with me. My classmates seem to be so interested on what Church is like for us Christians belonging to a different denomination. It's a good conversations starter, and through that i am able to make some more friends. Maybe i would have to use the fingers of both hands to count them.
I miss bike rides, gym workouts, running by the beach and skating, but ain't nobody got time fo that now.
