Been a while since I blogged.  Jason, if u're out there give us some props or something n let me know where u R.  hehe..

Anyway, what's been happening with me lately?  I've been going out on my annual trip to farms, went to a pig farm and a horse stud over the last two weeks and finally i've got a week of holidays to myself.    Yay!!  Holidays.  I'm spending as much time as I can with my housemates, cos at the end of this week we will move out of the appartment we have called "home" for the last three years and go our seperate ways.  Doesn't mean we're never gonna see each other or anything, but it means that after three years we won't be in the same house as one another.  Things are gonna be really different. 

So...  that means I have to pack and i'm starting to fear more and more how much stuff I have.  I can't believe that I have so many things.  Where did it all come from?  How am I gonna fit it all into another room? 

On other news (about me ), I did quite a bit of reflecting while I was at the farms, and started thinking about how the working mentality was so different out where I was compared to the city.  At Collingrove stud people didn't go home until everyone had finished their work.  Even if u finished your side of things you went over to the other side to see if they needed any help to finish faster.  The people there were really nice and it was like being part of a big family.  On Friday we had a little party after work..  well not really party, but we sat on a table just outside the hospital barn and had drinks and talked and had snacks, and it was just really really fun.  We just joked around, normal conversational banter, but it felt more like family than working collegues.  It has got to be one of the best working environments I've ever been in. 

Thankyou to Wenqi who kept me company on the trip..  hehe..  it's so fun doing farm work with wenqi and marv, I dunno why but it makes it so much more fun.  My next week is with heather, over in camden.  We're going to a chicken farm for 7 days...   it's gonna be tiring, especially since I move the week before. 

Well I had lotsa fun, I took some pictures and some videos with my new phone as well.   Hehehe, yes I finally got a new phone.  My old one was buggering up too much and so despite all my holding off, I finally gave up my awesome older plan for this new one, and a new phone.  My old plan had yes time and yes weekend!!!!   Wahhhhh..  I'm missing it already, it just means that I am messaging people a whole lot more. 

On the train trip up I was listening to a whole lotta songs by Death cab for cutie and I was writing a whole lotta personal thoughts (hehehe..  yes i do diary in pen and paper) but on the way back for some reason I had nothing to write, maybe because I was writing just before... we spent the saturday in a caravan just sleeping and watching TV...   :D  that's the way life should be...  j/k, it would be overly boring if it was. 

Anyways I'm gonna play a game with Aaron now..  He's really quick at picking up these games, he's gonna been me in scores soon.  :D  just means i'm a good teacher and we can fight harder opponents. 

Today I had just gotten home from the library when I decided to message my connect group members who had exams.  I called up Soon Tee, and Drew, then messaged  Ying and Druvi.  I then started to do some push ups.  I had only finished 10 when I got a reply from Druvi, and he wrote in it study hard and trust God.  I liked it so much I wrote it on my wall (for those of you who don’t know I have a perplex glass wall that I use as a whiteboard)  :D .  Well as I was doing this I sorta thought hey I’ll do another 10 push ups and maybe Ying will message me as well.  Well, I did those 10 and came back into the room, and as I did I got the message from her as well. 

I’ve got a lotta people praying for my exam tml and I feel confident, not because I’ve covered everything (I have been studying really hard and have covered a lot of the material), but because I know that God is with me.  I’ve put in my best effort and now all I have to do is leave the rest in God’s hands. 

Hehe..  it’s funny Stace, I always seem to post when I’m having my exams, but this exam period is different, I’m not as panicked about things, and I feel as if I’ve got a greater peace in my heart for these subjects.  I kinda think that in all things we do we should keep Druvi’s motto, study hard and trust God…   Just do your best in what you do and trust God that he’ll make something great out of it.   

Funny things is that after I'd written this I opened up to Psalm 37:3-4 where it says almost exactly what Druvi told me.  :D

Ne1 who reads this can thank Stace for this post  :D  hehe..   I guess if I dun post then some people won't really know what's happening with me.  I'm still alive and well.  Lately I guess I've been going through what seems to be a season change, there are things are becoming more important to me and things that I'm starting to put aside.  I guess what i'm really trying to do is pool all my efforts into something and concentrate more on these things.  I've found that sometimes I've just spread myself thin and I can only just manage the different areas of my life, but I've tried to pull it all down to what I feel are the most important parts of my life in this season.  Currently the big one is studies.  :D  hehe.  I neva started studying for exams this early, do you believe it!!  hehe

Neways a few other things I've been thinking about are like what I'm going to do with my future, and my dreams.  I've always wanted to go to Canada, but that doesn't really seem feasible, and to tell u the truth, i'm not so sure what i'd do there.  So that dream is kinda fading.  I guess one thing that i'm kinda big on at the moment is the thought of going to japan.  I'm totally intrigued by the Japanese culture and I've got a reawl strong desire to learn the language, just don't know where to start.  hehe...  So lately I've been thinking after I graduate I might see if I can go work in Japan for half a year. 

Pros for this plan is that I can earn money and see a country which to me is one of the most interesting in the world.  Secondly it'd give me a short break from Vet stuff, before I start a life as a vet, it'd be like a working holiday.  :D 

The set backs are that i'll be away from Melbourne for even longer.!!  wahhh..  just when I think I'm getting back to melbourne I come up with this plan..   hehehe..  Also I have absolutely no idea how I can get a job in Japan.  I've heard that u can go there and teach english which sounds pretty attractive to me.  Teach english for half a year and in between travel to the different parts of Japan, experience winter and summer.  :D 

So yar..  that's basically what's been happening here.  Ohhh also for Hillsong campus we're having an formal dinner.  hehe..  it's been such a mess, organising it that is, but it's gonna be a really kewl night.  They always seem to be able to pull things together in the end.  :D  Anyway that's the end of my rant, i should be studying, so I'll leave it at that.
