---------------------

So it's the end of the first week of school. I need to coin a term for the feeling that hangs in the pit of your stomach as you transition from a holiday period/mood back into the routine of school and classes. If there isn't one already. 

School's been average, first day was absolutely killer though. Just like them to overload us with the information in the "introductory" lecture. I fell asleep. While that might not have been entirely due to the substance of the lecture, it still had a part to play. Definitely. Ok fine, so I slept a bit late. No excuse though, I wouldn't have slept if it was interesting enough! 

Went to Jack's Place on Monday for dinner, which was really nice... Sort of a psuedo-birthday dinner on my parent's part for me, since they'll miss my birthday this March, on the 24th. I guess it was the last real dinner I had with them, just the four of us, the family. It was a nice feeling, and the steak was perfect. I'm definitely going to miss the food when they're gone though... Absolutely cannot afford to eat that kind of dinner, much as I miss western food. Maybe on occasion. And I'm definitely not going to restaurants alone. 

CG leader from VCF (Varsity Christian Fellowship), a CF in University, asked me to help him to the praise and worship on Tuesday, choosing songs and playing the guitar. I declined him the last time, and I suppose I'm not actually terrible at the guitar anymore, so I didn't have any excuse not to. Sort of went ok, apart from me dropping the pick halfway through the last song -.-"... It's seriously been too long since I played for anyone in public. Think 4 years+. Going to VCF also got me thinking about ministry... I've been here for a year now, and I'm still not serving anywhere, in church or otherwise. It's about time I started to seriously think about what I can do.

Mum, dad and sis left on Wednesday... Pretty emotional episode, as usual. I find it a little sad myself that seeing them leave everytime gets easier each time, though something tells me it's getting harder for them. Which then leaves me feeling indebted somewhat, with no sincere way to do anything. Had dinner with them at the airport, along with two aunts and my cousin -.-" wasn't quite what I expected of my last dinner with them... But oh well, you learn to share =P and so the next time I'll be seeing them is probably in the mid-year holidays. Looking forward, sort of.

It's incredibly late, just a short post/update. MSN can really make time disappear... But I love it. Lynnette lent me Twilight, which I plan to get to reading... Ok I just realised there are two Lyn(n)ettes appearing on my blog, lol. To clarify: Lynnette is a medical student, and an Orientation Group-mate, whom I met at Medicamp. Lynette (note the lack of an "n"), I've known since my primary school days, and is quite easily my oldest friend with whom I still keep in contact with. Which by the way really says something. Thank goodness for the difference in spelling huh, I'd hate having to give people nicknames for something like that -.-" though phonetically there's no difference...

Which reminds me! The OG has been talking about planning a Europe trip this mid-year holidays too, and preparations are finally underway. Should be an experience to remember. Any recommendations for places to go, or travel guides in that direction is appreciated =). 

Good night.
