Desmond!

So I now officially have a degree, it seems really really weird to say it. Ever since I started this course I couldn't quite believe I was a degree student, like I have said many times I never thought I would get to uni let alone complete it. I never classed myself as the uni type, not because I didn't want to go to uni but because I didn't think I was smart enough. Anyway for those of you who dont know I got what students call a 'Desmond' which is a 2:2.

It is a really nice feeling to be honest, to say that I have a degree is a huge achievement for me and I still cant quite take it in. I am however quite excited about the fact that I can now put BA after my name (I think this excitment will wear off in a couple of weeks)

Even if I hadn't managed to get the degree I wouldn't of changed these past 3 years at all (even my 2nd yr, shocking I know) because the experience of going to uni has taught me so much. However after saying all this I am glad that this part of my life has finished, and I cant flippin wait untill the next part.

I am so thankfull to God everyday for how he is working in me, and for what he has given me and I cant wait to see what he has next for me. This year is going to be very exciting and is most likely going to be hard at some points but all I need to do is trust in God daily, because he knows what is right for us. Here is a verse a friend sent me via text on results day which really really helped.....

' cast your cares onto the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall'

AMEN!

accident prone and clumsy! whats the difference?

So i've been thinking today what is the difference between accident prone and clumsy!? because I get called clumsy quite a lot and I agree with that however if there is no difference in these titles then I would prefer to be called accident prone it just sounds soooo much better than being clumsy. It was just a thought and if someone would like to explain to me what they think the difference is I would be very happy! Anyhoo moving on........

I have had a really good couple of weeks, a few weeks back I had been feeling far from God and a little low, and a bit fed up to be honest but some lovely friends prayed for me and I have just been feeling really flippin happy again!! This week has been particulary amazing as it was Mobilise, God just spoke to me about so many things, mainly about handing my burdens and worries to him. I have been worrying a lot more lately about so many things that are coming up like my degree results, finaces and things I am going to do next year as part of Impact which I worry I wont do very well. However God has just calmed me, I think that something I have always struggled with is worrying and anxiety but God has calmed that a lot this week.

Last night was pretty brilliant to, I got the giggles which I hadn't had in sometime either, laughing is amazing I love it!

anyhoo I best split like a banana and leave! (HA HA HA sorry just something some lovely lass said this week which I cant stop laughing about!)

Update!

Blimey! Its been just over a month since I last posted, that is quite a lengthy time. So whats happened in the past month well I finished uni which to be honest I didn't find it as amazing, scary, exciting as I thought I would. I guess part of me still hasn't quite realized that I have completed a degree, maybe that wont happen untill I get my results (which is in a month and I am rather annoyed about that as its sooooo long to wait). I then went on a lovely holiday to visit family in Ireland which was fab as it meant I could just chill with no worries about uni and work. All I did for 9 days was sleep, eat and shop flippin brilliant. Thats all thats happened really, exciting huh!? he he he.

Well I am looking forward to the summer, except from the whole working at a coffee shop full time bit but the rest will be good. Also only 2 months till my next adventure starts impact and moving home again! which I am very excited about. Its going to be weird though because for the past 3 years I have been surrounded by mainly non-christian people and now I am going to be surrounded by mainly christian people which I am really excited about, I can't wait to learn from them all.

Anyhoo im off to bed

night allXXX
