worked on the sound system which was a relatively simple job. managed to hook up the recording system (which was provided) to my laptop as well. although it wasn't much, the stuff I did was quite important to get things going.
I guess I'm thankful that I learnt how to work with a sound desk when I was in Elim. even if my initial motive for joining the sound team was not just because they lacked sound crew (I had a crush on one of the guys in the worship team...yah, I know, like, really?), I'm glad I learnt the ropes then.
interesting how I'm quite a "tech-y" and hands-on/DIY-type person...not many girls are like that huh.
and I guess I am thankful that I am now in Christchurch rather than still being in Dunedin. after Easter Camp I was wondering (again) what would have been different if I hadn't left. but coming here, I really have so much to be positive about. especially the new classmates I got to meet who are now my flatmates, these girls just make life a better place to be. =) and make playing with Photobooth an extremely enjoyable experience! yah. and I suppose coming to Chch has allowed my skills to be put to use too.
got the opportunity to meet other Christian students and doctors at the conference. it's nice to know that I'm not alone in this, and together we CAN make a difference. and to also know that I can make it as a doctor. I can survive.
faithful obedience. that's the phrase I'm taking away from it. God doesn't call me to do everything. He's just asking me to do what's He's put in front of me to do.
started on my Public Health run this week. it's not THAT boring really, just that I can't seem to make my energy last for all the tutorials. it's a "relaxing" run although there are quite a few assignments to be done. or maybe it's because I haven't started on my Ethics essay which is also due end of next week. hmm.
yesterday while cycling, TWICE I cycled on the wrong side of the road. when there WERE cars around. yah, I know, endangering my life. but I'm still in one piece. and on Monday while cycling back, when I stopped at a traffic light I saw a guy on his bike holding a cigarette. and he was decked out in cycling gear too. I shouldn't judge but what's up with that?
introduced a groupmate to Couplands yesterday. they have yummy muffins, raspberry and white choc, as well as the cappuccino one. it's not that expensive either. and today I had the mini donuts from the vender at City Mall. so good. have been munching on M&Ms, Snickers, Grainwaves, just to name a few. all these food...
at lunchtime today I was sitting with some classmates and they started complaining about one of the consultants. I didn't know who that was as I hadn't done the run, but the more they talked about it, the more uncomfortable and uneasy I got. eventually I couldn't take it and just excused myself. talking bad about other people is not good. cos what goes around comes around.
when he told me that he asked her out, I knew it was coming. somehow I had a gut feeling he was going to say that. there and then I appeared to be happy for him. then I had thoughts of self-pity, of the "why not me"-line. but I got over it, I wasn't even that interested. after that, I applied the ignorance tool, because that is just another part of my past. over.
anyway. maybe relationships are important. does it make me do things differently? I don't know. but I guess I will treasure those I choose to be around. not so much those that are around me. maybe in time I will be a friend to everyone, but for now, this will do.
