i am going to watch emelyn play football later at 2pm. audrey is picking me up at 1.30pm.
yesterday night was horibble. there were drunk people banging on the wall and i can see the wall shaking. that was a scary experience. i am also pretty sure that somebody tried to open my door but luckily i have lock it.
i am also sad because everybody is back at the hall. the holidays was one of my favourite weeks here because it was so calm. people started coming back on friday unfortunately.
some people like to write short post. i don't understand how can i write such long post. interesting.
last week in church i learnt that in the days of the old testament we were not allowed to eat unclean animals. this includes pig, shark, abalone, etc. this is because they eat anything. but since Jesus came to fulfil the three laws (that's what the pastor believes) which are the religous, moral and practical laws therefore we now can eat all that.
today i learnt that God was very healthy in the past. there was lots of laws about health. also, ring a round the roses is about the bulbonic plague 500 years ago. very interesting.
tomorrow there will be class again. i am feeling sad again.
i would also be having a test tomorrow night. really very sad.
i am feeling cold. the past few nights have been warm though. i have been using my blanket from unilodge. i didn't on the heater throughout the night.
its spring. supposedly. as each season is suppose to be for only 3 months. according to the news, winter started at 1st of June. which must means spring has already started. it has gotten warmer but not really very warm.
i just had pizza for lunch. from the hall. very few people only.
its only 1.12pm. i should change my jacket to a thicker one because i am starting to feel cold.
i only got 64% for my last law test. which is an improvement from my 53%. a 11% increase. but still not very good. i wonder what when wrong.
after tomorrow's test i am pretty much free until the last week of term which i am very glad about. i only have the odd stats assignments and lab tests. 2 each.
on the first day of home group, andrew shared this song with us:
its called The Prodigal Son by Keith Green
I was done hoeing, out in the fields for the day,
I was thinking of going, I had to leave right away,
My life is just fading, and oh I felt so alone,
The nearest young maiden was, a full day's ride from home.
My father was reading, the Holy books in his room,
My heart was just bleeding, I knew I had to go soon,
He smiled and pointed at an old wooden chair,
I wanted to hold him, but then I just wouldn't dare.
I said, father, there's so much to know,
There's a world of things to see,
And I'm ready to go and make a life for myself
If you give me what is mine,
I will go, if I can have your blessing,
But if you won't bless my journey, I'm gonna leave anyway.
Son, I've always tried my best for you,
And if you must be leaving home, then go with the blessing of God.
Not too many days later, I was well on my way,
I met a travelling stranger, who seemed to have much to say,
He told me tales of the city, and all the women he'd had,
I asked him, wasn't that sinful,
He said, no, it isn't that bad.
And then a few days later, on an old city road,
We were drowning in laughter, and we had women to hold,
And this went on quite a long time, my father gave me a lot,
But when my pockets were empty, my friends all left me to rot.
Then a famine hit and drained the land,
Everywhere I looked I saw starvation, and a job was nowhere to find,
I wandered through the city streets, competing for the food of common beggers,
Until then I'd never known hunger, but now I wasn't too proud.
I finally found some employment, feeding pigs on a farm,
I wasn't treated to kindly, I had to sleep in the barn,
I had to eat with the swine,
The bread I ate was like stone,
It didn't take too much time until, I was dreaming of home.
Oh, the servants there are better fed,
If I could only have what my father gives them,
I would truly need nothing more.
Oh, I will go and say to him,
I'm no longer worthy to be in your family,
Will you take me as your servant, and let me live with them.
It didn't take too long to pack my things,
I left with only what I wore,
And I prayed that I still had a home.
I was near home, in site of the house,
My father just stared, dropped open his mouth,
He ran up the road, and fell to my feet, and cried, and cried,
Father I've sinned, Heaven ashamed,
I'm no longer worthy to wear your name,
I've learned that my home is right where you are,
Oh father, take me in.
Bring the best robe, put it on my son,
Shoes for his feet, hurry put them on,
This is my son who I thought had died,
Prepare a feast for my son's alive,
I've prayed and prayed, never heard a sound,
My son was lost, oh thank you God he's found,
My son was dead and he's now alive,
Prepare a feast for my son's alive,
My son was dead,
My son was lost,
My son's returned in the hands of God.
taken from here
it is a very long song. but the music is nice.
i better go get ready.
so long
farewell
