Back to School
So the day has finally come. The day to make the final decision - whether or not to go back to study. Well, actually there wasn't even a moment of hesitation - I knew I wanted to do it, but whether or not I do it alone was the question and I don't know if I would have done it alone, but the fact that my colleague Amy also wanted to do it with me gave me the green lights to go ahead and I'm really glad that I can take the next step forward to doing something about it now.
After graduating 1.5 years ago, I'd never imagined that I would go back to study. That was the last thing on my mind, but I guess God had other plans for me. I remember early on in the year when we had the prophetic weekend, God said "Get wisdom!" A few nights after that, I had a dream which clearly said "Master of Marketing" and I woke up flipping out because no way did I want to go back to postgrad studies. At the time I didn't understand what a prophecy was but once I did, I just let it cool down and waited for it to come to pass and well... what was prophesised has and is now coming to pass! Amazing! I'm going back to study! I can't even believe it myself! On our first day of going back to school, I'm going to take pictures of us, it's just going to be hilarious!
Me and Amy rocked up at Central TAFE like dungu's! It has seemed like such a short time since I finished studying. Maybe because I was always around uni and never left? In high school, I never imagined ever wanting to work as a teacher or even at an education institution - in fact I detested it. Who would want to be surrounded by the aura of "school" forever. It wasn't for me and look where I am now.
Anyway, we decided to be geeks (a bit like the girl below).
We decided to go early because it was on a "first come first serve" basis and we didn't know if there would be a lot of people, and besides we wanted the good classes! The process was quite straightforward. We chose our units, filled in a form, enrolled, payed - and even got free chocolates! =P So I guess, the next three years are going to be a bit of a slogger working full time and studying part time, but I'm looking forward to it and the challenges ahead! It's going to be exciting!
I've been thinking about Interior Design for quite some time now and the possibilities of starting my own business... but that's for sharing another day =) Right now, I'm just happy that I'm finally doing something that I've always wanted to do and I have a friend to do it with!
I've tried so many times to leave International Office, unsuccessfully, and there's always a reason for it and now I understand why. I believe as much as I don't like the nature of my job, God wanted me to stay in IO because He knows me best. He knows that honestly, I find it difficult to connect with caucasians so He put me in IO which is practically filled with Asians. He knows that I need more support than I think and He gave me the blessings of my colleagues who have encouraged me so much. I know He has something for me to do in IO (which I won't share here). Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the awesome goodness and overflowing grace of God. I don't know why I deserve all these blessings that He's poured into my life - going from glorly to glorly - but our God is so loving and giving and all we can do is to accept them humbly as His children. I don't deserve this Lord, but Thank You.
