Ello my chickens,

Not much to report, but have decided to update out of intense boredom. Got a job interview on Thursday...for McDonald's. Yup, I may be flipping burgers all summer...please note I am vegetarian. But figured the money is going to the worthy cause that is my education etc, which one day will hopefully do good to the world, so it's not so bad.

I've been really looking forward to Gaines, which starts Saturday, but turns out I probably won't be able to go because they're clamping down on CRB forms this year and mine is extremely unlikely to be processed in time. Will phone various people in the morning, but don't see what can be done. Please can you pray for me, and for the other 9 people in the same situation, so that we can go and do God's work. Plus I just really want to go. I know if it's God's will for us to be there, he'll make it so (how unnerving that my phonological loop automatically said that in Picard's voice), so I should just trust God with it and be patient. His will will be done *prays*.

Not having the best time at the moment. Hate being at home; missing uni. Trying to be patient with family but failing miserably. Know they'll be in here any minute now to complain that I haven't spent the last half an hour within a 3 metre radius of them. Lack of personal space seriously damaging my mental health.

Really worried about workload next year. Need to fight natural urge to procrastinate or will most definately fail. Must also learn to block out family's genuine expectations of me getting a 1st. Got 5 2.1s and 5 2.2s in this year's modules, averaging at 58.96%; a 2.2. No idea whether this is representative of what I might actually get, so don't know what to expect.

Must lose the pessimism. God's got it all sorted, and everthing will be ok. All these things are relatively unimportant when viewed further away from the big picture. Just sucks to be in it.
