I'm very broke. I'm blogging to say that I'm ultra broke and that it's going to continue at least for the next 2 weeks. I have got lots of books to buy for my modules this semester. Sigh....sourcing for 2nd hand pass-down books hence. But i'm glad to say that I've got 2 free days off my Even weeks and 1 on Odd weeks. cool huh! I finally am enjoying the 'legendary 3 day study week'. Muahahaha. I can have the whole day for revision at home on Friday and Monday. Having long weekends every week isn't something I can enjoy when I step out into the marketplace in a years' time. Hoho. I'm quite glad that I'm not graduating this year since the economy isn't doing so well and thus it's more difficult to get a job with a decent pay. I'm quite nervous about exams this semester because the dates are so close and i've got 2 papers on the same day of 27th April, my 1st exam day. That is pretty fierce. So i really gotta start mugging diligently from this week. Yesterday caught up with a few people from N119 when we were having dinner together for WL's birthday celebration. Was great to be able to sit together and talk like before. Haha. There were 'sub groups' within the 12 or 13 of us there. There was the old W280, the new W280, the old N119 and the new N119. Haha! So interesting. ........... The word 'commited' has been in my mind since yesterday. If someone is to comment that 'Enling is a very committed person', I'll take that as a compliment. I want to be a committed person - in the context of commiting to the right things of course. Humans fear and avoid commitments. Marriage is a commitment. Work is also a commitment. Friendships and relationship in general are commitments. God is, needless to say, a commitment too. Yet what is giving some of us the courage to be committed to these things? I believe the answer is love for marriage and God, passion (or necessity for survival) for Work, and desire to feel belonged among our community. Etc, etc. We accept committments when we are convicted of its importance in the respective situations. It speaks of focus and their places (or priorities) in our lives. As long as something is worth my time and effort, I'll be commited to do it. I do not want to fear and avoid commitments like most do. Positive commitments do more good than harm. "If something REALLY matters to you, you will make time and space for it no matter how occupied you are." So true. Labels: contemplative, daily rantings 10:24 PM
