My Weekend. Exciting Study Times
My weekend was very nice and relaxing, yet also rather homogeneous. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I would bring some uni books to Josh's house, we'd study for a couple of hours, eat dinner, then do something not-study. We finished off season 5 of Buffy and there are only 50 pages from the end of Good Omens - meaning we've read a fair bit more recently. Friday morning/afternoon I had uni and Lise visiting, while Saturday morning I had work at Myer (I spent 2.5 hours hanging up bras. BORING!).
Sunday, Boyfriend came to my church, we had lunch with Ben and Cathy, then we went to the AFES commissioning service for the new staffworkers and trainees. It was very encouraging! All the senior staff workers came the front to lay their hands on the new guys, then they were prayed over. They were asked some questions to affirm their faith and establish their mission on their campuses. Then the delegates from the various committees were asked to come forward too (so, I'm secretary on the Murdoch Christian Union so I came forward) and we were prayed over. We heard an encouraging talk and there were some short presentations on what some of the campuses are doing this semester. I'm really glad I went!!
I've managed to get a fair bit of reading done for my units. I bought my textbooks only a week ago, but I've mostly caught up. I also worked out an essay plan for an assignment due in 3 weeks. I'm hoping to get my research done and a draft written up by the end of this week. Then I'll start on my next assignment. I'll come back to writing up the finished product of this assignment in the week that it's due.
I've never been very good at writing essays. It's only been recently that I've gotten the hang of it. Typically I just get this thought flow written down and I'll hand that in. Not the best method, but I haven't known how to write introductions and so forth.
Studying on my own sucks. Today is clean-the-house day, as is every Monday. I'm hoping that I can get the housework done quickly, then head to either UWA for this talk thing, or to Murdoch library and do some research for the assignment. :)
