I'm in the last few days of my long holiday right now. A few months ago, everything seemed so long and dreary, but within this past week, time just seems to have sped up twice as fast. There's just so many things to complete in these few weeks, from school registrations, applications for this and that, and CORS Bidding. The last item was such a stressful thing alright. Thank God for the seniors who helped us and advised us.

University life is going to be so different and so much more independant I have no idea how much of it I can handle. Just saw a friend's blog where she says how in Uni, even unfriendly people become friendly all of a sudden. I can't help but look at it from Darwin's point of view; survival of the fittest. It's like we're just thrown into a whole new gene pool and everyone's doing their best to fit into the environment so that by "natural selection", we remain strong in this new surroundings. That would mean, being able to find a group of friends and survive through the 3 or 4 years in University life. Those that are "selected against" are thus left to fend for themselves and get eaten up by the stressworms and all. To guard against that, people just resort to conforming to the standards of the world. It's really disheartening to see sometimes.

However, I'm really glad to know that even if i'm ever "selected against", I am definitely not alone. Because I have a BIG BIG GOD who's always there for me. It's pretty awesome that this month is the Proverbs Devotional month. Those words that point me to needing the wisdom of God is just so apt as I start school. It's all those reminders from the word and also from ppl in church and crusade that will definitely always point me to God when I am stumbled or when my faith is put to test. It's gonna be tough but my stand for these few years in Uni is really: I can be in the world but NOT OF THE WORLD.

Just as Jesus hung out among sinners but didnt sin, likewise, I can surely be among both christian or non-christian friends. As long as I stay true to the values that are biblical and not against my conscience. I'll have to really really guard my heart well.
