A Curious Girl: Answers!

Hiya...

What's new? I know I've been gone aaaaages... Well, I'm back now. Last week was half term and I don't really have anything interesting to say about it. Except I saw Sara Friday. Yay! I went wandering around town with her and Bryan, Bry occasionally stopping off in shops and pubs to watch the football. Even if I hadn't known what football was, I would have known that England won! I bought a book on Van Gogh and went round her house.

Saturday was work... (ooh, and I called Lois, it was cool :) ) and it was OK. They put me on host (not exactly my most favourite job) and for the last hour, I looked after Darren's section and earned my first ever proper tip. Despite the fact that I forgot their salad bowls and had to keep coming back to ask if they wanted cheese on their garlic bread etc.

Church Sunday. What do my diary and God have in common? I didn't say much to either of them last week. Having trouble praying and concentrating on the blasted mineral processing stuff I need to know for my exam, and not revising properly always makes me feel embarrassed when I try to pray. *sigh*.

Anyways, it was nice to get to Church, and you know what? I went with a list of worries to pray about, and I came out with most of the answers!!! I was thinking about my writing and I remembered the time I was feeling a bit low and useless and I read The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass aged 37 3/4 and it really cheered me up... I'd like to be able to do similar things. Also there was a missionary in Church yesterday, she said that in the country where she works (I think Sudan, but don't hold me to that) a 1% rise in women's literacy would save more children's lives than a 1% rise in doctors!! Cool! And to think back in ye olde days when I wanted to be a doctor it was a) so I could work with children and b) so I could work in a developing country that really needs it. It was reassuring that teaching's the thing I want to do.

Also... I was feeling generally ok about most things by that point... except the gap year. Should I/Shouldn't I? Can I really bear to be away from home that long? So I went up to pray with a couple of guys on the ministry team, we talked about it after we prayed. One of them's a career adviser and the other one's a personnel manager! I could do it after my degree, or do work during holidays, Paul (careers advisor) suggested. My last worry was this morning's exam, I just couldn't get my head around the Wordsworth revision. Christina had written down a list of useful quotations - and I'd done the same for Merchant of Venice. So we swapped! It really was useful in the exam, actually, because I had the list of things to remember as opposed to just trying to remember the whole thing and hoping something stuck in my memory.

Basically, it was very cool :) I had trouble sleeping but I reminded myself that God has a plan etc. so in my exam this morning I didn't feel too bad. (Also, Tricia's praying for me! :) ). The exam was OK. I NEVER HAVE TO DO WORDSWORTH EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Or Merchant of Venice... but that was ok :)

Anyway... just wanting to say... Thank you, God! :D
