Despite the busyness of IB life, I managed to keep quite a regular posting habit. Strangely, as time grew plentiful in the post-IB-pre-uni days, posts dwindled. When uni started, the blog was practically dead. Ha.

This year has passed by quite slowly and dreadfully, for most of it, too many things happen, too many decisions made, too many regrets, too many crazy moments when I wished I could just sail right past them without any thought and care in the world. Alas, that was not to be.
After leaving the Christian environment in which I was always schooling in, uni life has been quite a vast difference. Has its plus points, I suppose. But tbh, it’s too different an experience from the younger days. Friends are hard to come by, somehow. Touch and go these days. Not to say I haven’t formed new friendships over the past 9(?) weeks or so. Choir has been fun. So much more difficult than IB choir days, with respect to the songs. My brain isn’t getting better, so memorising has been a huge, huge problem.
That aside, academic life hasn’t been that great. Perhaps I wasn’t really expecting to do exceptionally well, or anything. But, well, I still had my expectations. Not falling far behind them, no. But definitely not the best.
I miss some company back in school. I enjoy new things in uni, definitely.

Spiritually, not smooth-sailing, really.

Well, more decisions to make along the way, before the year ends in slightly more than 2 months time. Oh the jitters! It wouldn’t be fair to say “TIME FLIES” this year. Because it really hasn’t. Though there are moments when I find time flying. But in the bigger picture, it hasn’t.

I hope to post more regularly. Because the lack of posts actually implies, to me anyway, that my life has been so mundane this year, with nothing to post about. No deep thoughts. No sudden revelations. No breakthroughs. Nothing.

When I survey the wondrous Cross,
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gains I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Demands my soul, my life, my ALL.
yes, and it has so many different tunes hahaha (:
I just sang that yesterday during CU! Beautiful hymn
And I agree about how long it feels this year has been. (Haha not least because I ‘gained’ 7 hours coming here, plus another one hour today when daylight savings kicked in, but that’s beside the point). All the changes and choices amidst the lack of the constancy of school have been rather overwhelming…
But well, God has seen us through it and that certainly hasn’t and will not change
Hope you’ve been well!
