Uni was so much better today. Thank God. I'm that kinda person where I actually love learning and absolutely hate it when i feel like i haven't learnt anything and just wasted a whole day like yesterday. Today was heaps better now that we're past the introduction and actually learning something. I'm still trying to get used to learning things through lectures. I feel so disconnected from the subject just coz there are so many ppl and it's not very interactive but it's not that bad. It's better than school coz i feel i'm actually learning stuff which is relevant and things are explained so much better in uni and the experiements the lecturers carry out are sooo much more exciting than the experiments we did at school that never seemed to turn out right!
Had my first tute today and we're actually put into groups (it's more like a workshop coz this semester there's a lot of group work) and we sit around tables like primary school style in our goups of 6. I'm in a group of 6 girls...and it's great coz i've come to know these girls over the past couple of days and surprise surprise we are THE loudest group. whoops. but we don't get in trouble coz interaction is all part of group work (coz we were really discussing about pharmacy related stuff *cough*)
Had student life meeting today. Student life is ALL about evangelism which is AWESOME coz as i said, i'd love to get more involved in local missions. The small groups equip us for evangelism and weekly meetings is where we're going to plan the ways we can spread the good news around =) They showed us a video of their local mission trip to Monash Uni last year (which to be honest did sound a little strange coz i'm so used to hearing of mission trips overseas to third world countries, not to huge neighbourhood cities like melbourne) , to help spread the gospel to international students. It amazes me everyday the way God works and the way he transforms lives not just in poverty striken countries but right on our uni campuses as well! seeing on the video, these international students accepting Christ made my heart beat a little faster and I can't wait to be part of it first hand.
Anyway, just one lecture at 8 tomorrow coz my 6 hours of labs i'm supposed to have tomorrow dont start till week 2 yayyyy!!!
