A week closer...

Can't really say it's a very productive week. Did go through a couple of UOL classes for my soci that stretched from morning till about 5. Another class with Nageb on friday afternoon, which he extended again. Not that I mind, I do enjoy his lectures. Just that it can be very draining due to the width and depth of the subject. Frankly, getting scared for all of my modules, due to the remaining time left and amount of material I've got. Was at the library at bugis trying to make sense of bureaucracy and organisations and power. Certainly not easy. Come to think of it, been trying to go through my ISDM and my soci for the last week, and nothing much really went into that thick skull of mine. Well, here and there, yeah, some stuff got in, and then some came out again. Will have to re-read again as the dates draw near.

Finally started to serve in ministry. Yesterday and today were the first times that I did my worship backstage, behind the curtains, and my communion as well. Had to learn a lot of stuff. Didn't realise a simple task of passing mics involve a lot of procedures beforehand. But it's exciting so far. Can get up close to the worship team and see them play from closeup, especially the bassist and drummer. Might come in handy later, since I'm thinking of picking up the bass guitar, and keyboard. Might have to self learn the instruments. Got one keyboard at home that belongs to my sis that's been untouched for like ages. She apparently gave up on it for whatever reason. Maybe I should bring it back to life, heh.

Nothing really much going on at the moment. Basically, it's eat, sleep, study, relax, pray, cell group, church, ministry, revision classes, medication, fellowship. Rinse and repeat in any order that fits the current situation. Gonna be like this until my exams end. Then comes reservist, with my specialist appointment in late may before that. Hope to be excused from outfield or lower limb activities for the duration of my reservist. My gout's still unstable. Somehow it likes to give attacks on weekends for who-knows-what reason. But thank God it's not as bad as last time. Kinda swollen, and some pain, but it's still bearable at the moment. Still not to the point where I have to limp as though I broke my foot. Praying it won't get any worse than it already is now.

Praying at the moment also, about whether to take a step of faith and let her know how I feel about her, after my exams I mean. Don't have to be going into courtship; don't think I can commit to courtship as I'm still not financially stable yet, so I can't provide financially at the moment. Not to mention differing schedules at the moment as well. What I'm hoping for actually, is to move into a season of getting to know each other better, to see if courtship is what the Lord intends. Have not heard from the Lord regarding this as yet, so I'll have to wait and pray.

"Yet the LORD longs to be gracious with you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:18

hey jonathan dont worry so much. I did a module similar to you before... the one taught by nageb and I think perhaps it would be easier if you just remember the main points for each theory and use your own words to explain.
