ok so ive been ordered by a british midget who shall remain nameless but she knows who she is to revive my blog........so here goes.
i have spent the last 4 months at uni studying my first semester of medicine. it has been a really challenging time and has provided me with a huge culture shock after living on the ship for the last year. At times this has been really hard to deal with but i have to remember that i am where God wants me to be.
The course itself is fascinating. There is lots of content which i didnt realise until i had to memorise it all for my first round of exams. these came straight after the christmas break and provided me with about 2 weeks of living in the library! I wil find out the results in about 3 weeks and i just pray that i pass. This week i hae started in the dissection room which is a little freaky but insanely interesting at the same time. it does mean alot more work though as vast amounts of prep is needed and work afterwards.
Christmas was spent at home withmy family. It was amazing and i reverted back to being a five year old and reminding people every five mins that it either was christmas or was nearly christmas. I was just so happy t be spending it with family as last year was such a struggle for me last year. However the tables were turned this year as i found myself missing the people on the ship like crazy.
I have found a house to live in next year which is really exciting! i will be living with nine people and we are renting a georgian mansion! it is huge and has so much character. just think of the parties i keep telling myself. it is three stories high. my room is the attic room on the third floor and the only bathrooms are on the groundfloor so by the time i have had a shower and made my way back up the stairs i am going to need another one! hehe!
Um what else has happened? oh yeah i am going to be a CU rep in halls next year. this means i wil lead a small Bible study each week and arrange evangelistic events in halls. Also it means just being a presence around to act as a support for those moving into halls.
ok i think that is enough for now
luv you all
