Uni. Uni, uni, uni. Some may see it as that big scary place where only the "clever" ones go after they finish high school. Well have I got news for you! There is such a wide variation of people at uni that it's hard to think of a category that Isn't filled!
Two things that may seem incredibly unrelated is university and common courtesy. It can be really taxing making your way through the masses of people, especially if you're a couple of minutes late!
But even just a wee smile can make someones day! Truthfully. If someone is having a lame day, or just in a bad mood in general, saying "hi" can be a defining moment for that person. I'm not talking about the people trying to sell something, or greenpeace for that matter, but just a genuine act of friendship to a stranger.
Jesus would agree with this too! You may have realised that I always seem to bring up God or Jesus in my blogs. Well hey, this is my blog! Haha kidding. I love God and Jesus so much that I think they deserve a mention or five.
Another important aspect of university is to try make it to all your lectures and tutorials. It really does help with your final grade!
Finally, be social. University is like a meca for making new friends. There are different clubs and organisations that are specifically tailored to every type of interest you could possibly imagine. I joined a Christian group as uni called Christian Union. I don't go every week but find it complements Primal and C3 well and it also helped me make more friends with similar interests.
A final note, be patient with the busses! Yes, the orbiter can sometimes take an hour. On the shorter route. But it flies by ( maybe ) if you have the tunes cranking!!
Also, don't forget your student loan...it sure can add up! Mine is getting up there because I did a couple of courses before uni...But hey, just think, when you have a job you can pay it off in no time!
That's about all you need to know about how to survive uni.
Today I missed most of my lectures because I felt ill. I am happy to say I now feel better.
Last Thursday we had the last of the SheMAN competition...Mr Whippy! Apt name I say. If the name didn't explain it, we had to answer sport related questions and if we were wrong, we got whipped by a teatowel!! Not as horrific as I thought it might be...phew.
I've been playing on the worship team at Primal every week for about a month now and I love it! The songs are now familiar to me, I can play them without needing music in front of me! Good times.
In about two weeks my great friend Rachel is getting married! Can't wait, so proud of her and Dan. April 1st also has something else exciting, holidays! 3 weeks of pure bliss. I'm going down south with my parents to check out the houses they brought down there. Also I'll get to see my awesome friend Julie who moved down there a while back.
Life has sure been busy. I've been helping out a wee bit in the Kidz Church department at C3, we recently started doing worship with them instead of the serious adult songs. The songs are cool as! So upbeat! Sophia is a miracle worker in the Kidz Church team, uneatable!
That's all for now folks!
Yay can't wait to see you!!!! :D
