Stayed behind today after CCF in MC 2034. Made a couple new friends. Was working away on my laptop as they came in. Chatted with one, then both, back to the one, then silence, and then the other returns.
Read a few Urbana articles which came in my email today. More and more I find my concern for social welfare and justice growing. My compassion for the poor, weak and needy is stirred more frequently and more deeply.
Yet that compassion is oft numb. Paralyzed by the overwhelming media coverage we have. I found this [...]
What beauty there is in the world. The Lord gives me such joy, simply looking around me, sitting here at Central Park of Santa Clara. Such beauty there is in the delicate stance of the geese. They stand in a row, on one foot, cleaning themselves. It is a curious sight from where I am–kneeling [...]
It’s been a while… yet again…
Back at school now and by the end of first week already hurled into the thick of things. The theory we learn this term is easier than last term’s (or maybe that’s just because I’m going to classes more now…), but the workload has ramped up so much more quickly. [...]
Went to this church in Oshawa for the second time this term yesterday. As with the first time, I felt almost entirely unwelcomed by my college peers there–only the sunday school teacher (who’s a pastor actually) welcomed me. Neither upon my entrance nor during the “loiter” time after sunday school did anyone approach me or [...]
hello!
This past month after Urbana has passed by so quickly! I’m sorry I’ve taken so long getting to write this update.
Thank you all for both your support. Urbana was a wonderful blessing! Here are some of the thoughts and lessons I’ve had… I am struggling to keep everything cohesive but bare with me hehe:
Two more exams to go… The last one will be absolutely torturous… I don’t feel so bad though. In fact, I feel great today. Devotionals this morning was very refreshing and makes me positively joyful right now. It’s rather strange how we know even by experience how rejuvenating (morning) devotionals are yet we relegate them [...]
Woooooooooohoooooooooooohoooooooohooooooooo!
Exams are done with! After nearly 3 gruelling weeks. =D
Time to pack and head home after 8 months away ^^
The rush during midterms to cram and catchup on several missed classes, homework and reading seemed pretty intense. Five midterms lined up day after day over one week. Fortunately our Mechatronics program didn’t have any classes running during that exam week. Long night after long night was spent at the books, only coming “up” for [...]
Got me a job at Brock Solutions! Next term I’ll be sticking around, working in Kitchener. I don’t know whether I’ll live near UW campus or in Kitchener though… bussing would probably take over an hour each trip…
