♥ The update
It's been five months since I posted on here... my bad!
If you didn't know, I have a tumblr which I update way more regularly.
Well what's been happening! The usual really. Uni.... and well, yeah, Uni. I don't even work at VF anymore. And I only work at RD during school holidays.
I am so behind at uni! I'm like 12 lectures behind. It was 21 at the beginning of this week... Need to catch up. ASAP. Then start studying. ASAP. Because exams are just around the corner, and I really don't want to be stuck with another SUPP. Had enough of those silly things.
Today is Josh's birthday. It's a bit weird that I'm not with him celebrating. But I'm pretty sure he's getting drunk right now in Derby... Those country people sure now how to drink haha. And I'm pretty sure Josh has been slowly losing his asian roots daily.
So I went to see Josh over Easter in Derby, and got to meet all the locals. Had a great time in Broome relaxing and chilling. Josh's idea of spending time together is a bit odd... He realized that netball was on TV, and he wouldn't budge from the couch until the game had finished... like an hour later. Sigh! But other than that, we had a great time with the sixth years who were there on rural GP and also came to Broome for the long weekend, and the other RCS students and doctors there.

Also got to spend a day with An, and he took me up in the air and it was a great flight! Got to see horizontal falls which was beautiful.
It's been about 2 months now since I last saw Josh. And it's been pretty easy going. Uni's been keeping me busy, but I do miss having him around. But he'll be back in just under a month now so it's all good!
Had like a week long celebration for my birthday this year. Semi because Josh wasn't around and I felt like just surrounding myself with friends haha.
Had family dinner on my actual birthday. Drinks with the high school guys the following night. Then on the Friday had like a laid back chill arvo sess with the med kids, following by a river cruise where we totally owned the dance floor.
I've been really enjoying the company of my med friends lately. I think having travelled with them over summer, it's open up many opportunities to just to get to know them better. And they're really great fun! I think I struggled in first year to really find people I connected with or got along with. But now, finding common things like sport and SMA has really opened up doors.
Anyways. This year has been a year of change. Not just for me. But for those 'core' / 'major' people in my life - J, A, C & L. claj? jlac? lacj? hurhur.
It seems like in each of their lives, there's been a massive change. Whether it be them physically or emotionally or spiritually... or in their environment.
It's been weird. Because these people are usually so stable and constant in my life. That these changes have affected me. And even more so that ALL of them have something going on. And it's upset me, before. Because I love them, all, so much. And when they hurt, so do I. But also I was upset that everything was changing, so quickly.
And J had to remind me that the only true constant in my life is God, and He is my rock, and my assurance. And despite all these changes and things happening in the lives of those I love, I trust that God's hand is over every situation, and that His plan is far greater than what I can merely see with my own eyes.
Oh yeah, and IMPACT happened this year too. The lead up was crazy. Especially being on committee. Sometimes I just get so frustrated with people... and it's because in my mind I believe that I can do certain things better and more efficient. But I am continuously reminded of my role as a servant leader. To step back and to encourage others to step up and learn and grow. How will they ever learn if you do not give them the opportunity to? Even if it takes twice or three or four times as long... They've gained the experience from that - and that's valuable.
IMPACT was great! Amazing! I think they really hit on good topics, especially things associated with 'studying medicine' and being a 'doctor'. Things that I didn't really think of before, like how easy it us to let our ego get the better of us. And again, a great opportunity to build on existing friendships! And I think reiterate my desire to head into the mission field in the future. I'm glad I've found a partner who shares the same passion and goals!
