So classes have started yesterday. Things are pretty exciting I suppose, with all the assignments coming in and having alltogether new group mates. It's kind of a challenge to me, somehow. My Strategic Marketing lecturer decided that he would pick our group mates for us, and many didn't want that. I wasn't one of those who protested as I thought I would trust God in this. You know, learning to integrate faith and life?
Lo and behold, the mates I got do not look all ok, as in come on time, quality work and correct grammar and all. The thing is, I AM VERY particular about these things, so this IS a HUMUNGOUS challenge to me. And I NOW really do need to TRUST God. No way out I suppose. I am not complaining either. Sure, they did come late, not turn up for our first meeting, but what is trusting God if things just come easy? That is more like "Yeah, I trust God but you know, I can do it myself too." Not this time, definitely. Stretch, stretch.
And it's a third year subject, which doesn't make it any easier. Choice or no choice, I know I need to step up myself this time. What a bliss! Haha. I guess this is also an opportunity to witness Christ into their lives. No cheating too, as one has suggested wryly. I said, no looking at seniors' assignment, refer to see format ok, but no copying of any sort. I guess with strangers, it's easier to do that than with my own friends. So if I trust God in this, I trust God all the way coz I want to do my work with integrity and earn my marks from my sweat and blood, albeit not literally sweat and blood. :)
Wish me well, I do need this. I recognise this as an opportunity to prepare me for the real world, because the world is not going to be kind to me. Bah! Going for another class in about 20 minutes. Blog again soon.
