Delineating Space to Breathe
SCHOOL. As the end of the semester approacheth, my time is getting tighter. Essays are looming, and the exams have (again) moved from being a vague concept, to a notion, to an every-threatening thunderstorm of reading flurry.
DEBATES. One set of kids are doing well in debates, the other set is just making me disappointed and very angry at their attitudes towards it. And it's not how conventional wisdom would inform the situation.
CHURCH. Cell has taken a turn for the better, and I am learning and thinking better than I've ever done before. Mun Fai and Eileen are a good duo to have, and they are pushing us closer to a better understanding of where we stand with regard to the knowledge of Christ. Though the distance frightens me, the knowledge of it reassures me - knowing how much I don't know always reassures me. For therein lies the discovery of a starting point...
WORK. While rewarding, it is frustrating to be paid so terribly badly for doing so good a job. I find myself struggling to remind myself that there are bigger things at stake this year; i.e. my school work, which I must complete by the end of this year or it will be ridiculously embarrassing. And the opportunity to meet so many interesting people is something that money can't compensate for, nor is the privilege of putting that big fat organisation name down on my resume. But the obscenely gross underpayment for my (quite objectively speaking) fantastic work is simply demoralising, to say the least.
FRIENDS. Every bit of me that isn't going into my school work, regular work and coaching, is going into meeting friends for lunches, dinners and suppers. Though not everyone appreciates the effort that this costs me, I feel the urgency to meet people this year for some reason.
There's a storm I feel brewing in the horizon, and it is a strange wind that is blowing my way, methinks.
I'm not sure if it bodes well or ill.
