There is always a sense of deep joy once i have submitted an essay to college. I seem to still be developing how best to get essays done. Two days before i had put in my diary to send it off, i decided that the 2,500 words that i had written wasn’t answering the question properly, so started over.
post-assignment, the pile of books used to write 3,000 words
Red bull kept me going, and being on a diet and not going to buy stashes of chocolate was ridiculously hard. But i finally got all 3,000 words written 10 minutes before our deacons meeting on Wednesday.
Unfortunately I hadn’t proof read it, because I’d spent hours and hours writing it. so i had to wake up at 6am to spend some time proof reading it and amending bits. We’ll see what result I get.
I don’t think i blogged about my last one, but i did really well, and got a B…. I really doubt strongly that this one will get such a good mark, but i guess in a couple of months we’ll find out!
Next Sunday (30th) I’m going to college to spend some time in lectures and hanging out with cool people. It’s the last time we get to see the 2nd years, which i’m pretty gutted about really, as we’ve only just met! Having intense weeks together means that friendships grow strong quite quickly i guess.
Life is still very busy. Now i’ve completed this essay I’m spending some time praying and thinking about our weekend away which is happening in February. We have a massive mixture of people with all sorts of personalities, and so it’s going to be challenging to plan stuff that meets peoples needs. I never know who is reading this stuff, but please pray that we have a good time away (18-20th feb) and that running my first weekend away is a success. I’m hoping that i come back having deepened friendships with these young people, especially because for a few of them, this is their first weekend away!!
The hope of a holiday with some friends at the end of april/beginning of may is keeping me going and excited! we havent been together on holiday for a long time and i miss them very much while i’m living in london.
well done for getting it done. I’m about to do a load of marking in the next few weeks. Hope the weekend away goes really well. I’m sure it will, they are always great times. I will also be on a weekend away in IOW but it’s so much more ad hoc and less prepared. I am just kinda hanging out with a group i don’t really know.
that sounds very cool :-) are you going to Westbrook House? it’s an urban saints place… if you are, its amazing.
have managed to get a few newbies on weekend away which i’m very excited about.
hopefully talk to you soon.
yep i think it is westbrook house
