Randomness

Just finished our project, and here I am in school blogging because I feel guilty about not having blogged for such a long time. I'm dead tired and very starved, which is probably why I eat so much on weekends or pig out so much when I go out.


I am very extreme.


I've not been talking much to the students, because I've been so occupied with the project, which we are going to present tomorrow. Then I have one more week here, and then I'll be flying back to Leeds with a host of new resolutions.


I resolve to be more focused on what I want. The last year was a distracted mess of various things, but this year, I'm going to be focused on getting good grades, attending all lectures, and serving in church. I'm also going to be focused on keeping the friends I already have, and am not going to be too bothered about making new ones.


I also resolve to spend less money. I ate out at a horrendous frequency last year, and bought a horrific number of new clothes. But I have more than enough clothes and more than enough to eat and I will not spend money unnecessarily.


These are my two resolutions, and I am determined, determined, determined to keep them.
Events that have happened recently have gotten me to realise that, truly, nothing is constant without God; and that everything I thought was constant, everything I thought was reliable, isn't. And I realise how much people change over time, and how little I know of my friends; and how I should make every effort to get to know different sides of people who only show that one side to me. And I realise how little people can be trusted; that people can do things to wrong you, and that you can forgive them, but that you might never be able to trust them again. And I guess, nothing and no-one is perfect; but that we should all try to model our lives after perfection as much as possible, no matter if we fall short.
