…so first week of uni, one would think it would be easy breezy right? first week and all… ummmm…. NO!!!! (she whines)<\/p>\n
admittedly i was well excited for uni to start. aside from not having to be at work on the worst day of the week, i get to do that whole ‘uni student’ thing again. the moment my lecturer started going through the material, and what it involves, and the workload, the time investments…i believe i uttered the words ‘this whole higher education thing? my idea?’ … apparently it was.<\/p>\n
don’t get me wrong, i am loving it. it was just a little bit of a rude awakening. i have two subjects and the average work load for each subject is 12 hours, per week. arrrgggghhhhhh!!! i have case studies, journals, etc to read, as well as online lectures to watch and online quizzes to do by the end of each week. head spin! but all good.<\/p>\n
started going to my new connect group which is located at currans hill, only ten minutes away from home. all girls, and it was great to be in that environment again, where everyone is on the same path, and we’re all spurring each other on. it made me miss h’smith connect a lil less and think back on it with fondness instead of longingly.<\/p>\n
griefshare has been going well. it’s been nice to hang out with j, and just fool around. reminisce about, etc. this week we’re supposed to bring a photo of our loved one,\u00c2\u00a0which i guess makes it more real for each of us…not like it isn’t, but i guess it’s all part of the healing process *sigh*<\/p>\n
politics still bother me. i know it shouldn’t. but it does. i guess its that whole falling from grace and pedastal thing. if i did to\u00c2\u00a0them, they certainly did for me too. more so than\u00c2\u00a0i can express and that’s sad. i will never be able to articulate how much ‘events’ have hurt me. despite intentions to the contrary. so much\u00c2\u00a0for that.<\/p>\n
today is winnie’s birthday and we’re all\u00c2\u00a0meeting in the city for dinner, which will be nice. happy\u00c2\u00a029th birthday winnie, you’ve crossed over. you’re now ann and mer’s age!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
tomorrow is ate lei’s birthday and we’re all going to dinner to celebrate her 40th. ate your\u00c2\u00a0list, it\u00c2\u00a0HILLARIOUS!<\/p>\n
friday we’re going to finally bury my mom, which i guess closes the latest chapter.\u00c2\u00a0though it would be good to finally get everything settled,\u00c2\u00a0a part of me doesn’t want to part with her. but she\u00c2\u00a0deserves to be at her resting place,\u00c2\u00a0 and it’s like she’s\u00c2\u00a0never really left.\u00c2\u00a0she’s around, and she’s in all of us. i\u00c2\u00a0just miss her. the house seems empty, and i now know what she meant\u00c2\u00a0when she used to say that\u00c2\u00a0after i left for london. i have taken for granted the times we were able to talk, and her mere presence in the house *sigh*<\/p>\n
