I haven't

I won't say I have it any easier than my peers in other universities who are constantly stressed by daily presentations and readings, though the number of presentations I have to give in a week are probably much lesser and don't mean much to us ( My EL group's the only one who still does impromptu presentations in tutorials). We've also had a recess week already and this week is E-learning week (of which I do not agree is any less slack than normal school days).

I think my challenge lies in having to deal with everyday which brings something new.
Living with friends during the weekdays and family on the weekdays trains your emotional stamina, because now you can't really throw tantrums anymore (remember the black faces you could give at home just because you were tired?) neither can you chill by eating one whole packet of Ruffles while watching Ellen Degeneres and Oprah Winfrey back to back.

Training your discipline: oh yes this is awesome.
Restraining yourself from unhealthy suppers and reminding yourself to go to bed, although you feel you dont really need it (at night). Studying till you just want to kill yourself cos you know if you dont study now, you TRULY dont have any other time to study hahaha.

Reminding yourself of what's important in life:
Amidst so many events and work and opportunities to do what you like, you finally get a REAL chance to decide what it is that you really want to do.

And having to keep yourself on your toes all the day:
There is never a day I find I can just lie on my bed and fall asleep / take naps anymore...there is just no time...

Though there are many things that have changed, there are also some things that have not.
1) How God is ever so real to me, although I think im spending lesser time with Him now (im working on this). How He comes to me in small instances like some nice stuff people say or good advice they give that keep me on the go always and remind me of how beautiful life is.

2) How my best friends since Primary School, Secondary School and JC and outside friends have not changed.

3) How I still love everyone I love.

Thank God for the many opportunities He has given me and I just blossom in His grace, because His grace is just so sufficient.

Thank you God.
