Mid-sem.
I agree my last entry was rather grim. A friend asked me about it as well. At least there are people who still reads my blog despite being neglected for a few weeks. The actual middle of the semester is coming, really quickly! I foresee the events happening, filling out my guild diary week after week, day after day. There is almost no time to enjoy and relax. Weekends are over before I know them, I had my housewarming the past Sunday, so the whole of Sunday was just cooking mainly. Volunteering takes up the other part of my weekend, volunteering should not be a burden, but a supplement to life. Thats the way I want to look at it. I do gain experiences from it, hospital life, more in touch with patients and talking to them more will build comunication skills. I do not want to think I am laiden with all this volunteering, being over-committed. Maybe i am, to some extent, when I start to not cope well, volunteering seems like it might be a burden? I refuse to think of it that way, cos from it i learn alot, from it I gain alot. I want to do it, I still want to. Last sunday, when i walked into the nursing home, the group of old people who greeted me and a guy who called out my name made me feel really happy. They are finally remembering my name! I made an impression!
Housewarming was behind schedule, we tried our best. Started cutting and chopping right after volunteering and going to Subi. Trust is so genuine and pure, I owe the market stall owner $3.50, cos I didnt have enough money. When he asked me whether I would pay him back the next week, and said that he trust I would, I felt really blessed. Another thing which touched my heart was the random stranger on the road who wanted to pray for me, and said that he felt I would feel peace when he did. At the corner of a busy street in Chinatown, he prayed for a min i think. People might dismiss him as weird, but it was comforting to some extent. Its hard to explain. I always believe God does have a plan for each and everyone of us, and all these little blessings are not coincidental, but planned, and each have a significant meaning and guide us into a new direction? Not sure whether I am making sense to you now, but its adequate to know that I am clear headed.
Oh yes, thanks alot to those who turned up for my housewarming, brought gifts, and helped cleaned up. Hope the food was to your liking.
Mid sem is just 1 day away. Have you realised that the middle of a week is not exactly wednesday but thursday? haa. My week is jammed packed with school related activities, topping it with MCW and Chinese Society (CS) stuff to do. A random patient in the hospital said, "Do not overcommit yourself, for our parents will not want to pay for their daughter to waste time on other activities" Gosh, I only spoke to her for 5 minutes, didnt tell her what i was busy with as well, besides volunteering. Message from above? Message speaking my inner thoughts about over commitment? Its just that I feel I can do all these, wont have other opportunities to do it, and so want to fully experience the Uni experience. Make the most out of my Perth experience.
Blood donation tomorrow, Video assessment before that. Theatre session on Thursday morning, CS bbq after, GP visit on Friday, look for sponsorships after then its saturday once again!
I am serious, the end of semester will come, before I know it.
