rollercoaster…

now don’t get me wrong, I love rollercoasters but the emotional ones can be exhausting!

my last post was a slightly soppy one about how much I miss Beth- well I saw her on Wednesday and it was brilliant! wish I’d seen her more but she’s back again tomorrow and I can’t wait to keep catching up. everything was normal, apart from a few small things, but we were definitely normal and I loved it.

I’ve finished my third assignment and am handing it in tomorrow :D had a panic on Friday night because I suddenly realised I was missing a bit of evidence for the portfolio and even though it’s a small thing that I wouldn’t have failed over, it was important to me. fortunately I fixed it!

It seems to be that I always try and finish my assignments the Friday before they are due in the next Monday/Tuesday and on that Friday I manage to have a panic over something stupid and little but it completely throws me. however it does then leave me the weekend to calm down and I always end up adding one or two things that I remember over the weekend.

So I’ve officially finished lectures but still have one more assignment left so that’ll keep me busy. I’ve also roped myself into helping with a couple of kids work things, nativities, carol services and things like that. I’m happy to do it, I miss it, but I am having to be careful to control it and do it on my terms so I don’t get completely swept back up into it.

Speaking of kids work and church stuff. I was at LF this morning because four of my youth were getting baptised. It was such a good service and to hear their testimonies and listen to them talk about wanting to make a commitment to God. It was amazing and truly inspirational and it made me happy to have had the chance to be a small part of that journey during my gap year.

I spoke about a rollercoaster, the baptisms today were one of the highs. the other high was that my room in halls will definitely be taken over on 25th january :D :D :D
I’m so pleased, it means I don’t have to pay the next installment and I’m officially free of that place. Ironically I actually saw a few of my old flatmates today, just from a distance, didn’t talk to them or anything, but it made me realise that I don’t miss it. I miss them a little bit coz they were nice people. but I don’t miss that place at all! I miss what it could’ve been…if it had been nice and worked out differently, I wish it would’ve. But I’m so happy at home, and I’m excited to try moving into a house with good friends next year. And I know that Teresa and Claire will support me through it and God will help me too.

 

Hehe that whole little bit wasn’t part of what I was going to say in this blog- it just came out and I’m not sure it even says what I feel- which just tells you how odd and mixed up my feelings are about halls etc.

Anyway I’m off to bed. I’m picking Danni up from the station and then we’re going to hand in our portfolios together tomorrow :D I don’t have to get up early but I’m tired and want my bed!

Much love xxx
