freak storms
It was really hot this morning when I woke up, and then suddenly whilst watching 'Fresh' at 11.40 am it started pouring like crazy. It was like one of those tropical downpours during the monsoon in Singapore, quick, brief and crazy. After it stopped raining the sun came out and it was fine again. I kid you not, steam was coming out of the drive way after the downpour!
I'm at uni again, waiting for my revision class to start at 2pm. Just got my research essay back, I was freaking out about it as I was certain that I missed a lot of issues. I've got it back now, thank God I didn't fail, managed to get through OK. Definitely have to work harder in the final though, but thank God that he helped me get through.
The last few days have been quite weird. I can take pride that I've mentally matured, at the beginning of the year I was a feeling a bit emotionally unstable and in indeed one of my goals was to have a greater control over my emotions and know the bible better. Its odd when I reflect back, because in a way those goals have been achieved. Anyway I hope I'm not sounding too boastful, I attribute the attainment of these goals to God.
Its the second last week of uni ever! Its been a long time, neither too long nor too short. At times I do feel that uni has been a waste of time, and this is compounded my the fact that I feel that I may be better suited to another profession and I have no plans to practise law in the immediate future.
But I'm encouraged by some pearls of wisdom I gained from my conversation with Leon, the hairdresser in Blacktown. Uni isn't just about getting good marks and getting good jobs after, although a huge part of going to uni is just that. I shouldn't feel as if uni is a waste of time and that I haven't achieved my potential because I've actually learned a lot from being here in the last five years. All those classes, assignments, exams, readings: they have taught me a huge range of skills which I now possess and can put them into practise in real life.
