So I just had Brunch. What's next? Lunner? Dinch? The orders of meal play a big part in the word-forming, doesn't it? I remember telling Grace that lunch comes before dinner so it should be Lunner. But she insisted that Dinch sounds better. That, I agree. Although Brunch = breakfast + lunch (according to order right??), so technically the next meal should be Lunner. But Dinch ftw, lol.
And I found B&J in my freezer! Super excited. I haven't had it for like 1 year already. Can you believe I didn't have any in London?? Too much food to eat, no space for B&J. It's Cherry Garcia though. Not a fan of cherry-flavoured ice cream, but better than nothing!
Sorry, I digressed. Food should be the last on my list. My schedule for the next semester is out. And I've to start choosing modules again! The same butterfles-in-my-tummy feeling is welling up. I don't know why but I always get very nervous at the beginning of a new semester. Although it's been one year already but I still feel like I'm not used to the system at all. And the modules seem to be daunting obstacles all over again every single semester. Nah, I'll never get used to it. Plus I hate the feeling of having to be a senior class to juniors. Call me weird, but I much prefer to be the baby of the family/pack everywhere I go. I was brought up in an environment where I was nearly almost the youngest. I can't imagine being a good senior to any juniors out there, much less in Japan. Nervous much. I wonder what the new semester might bring. Must remember God's grace is enough! He has already brought me through 2 harrowing semesters!
Meeting with M tomorrow. I can't believe anyone would think that they'd stop our studies in Japan because of the earthquake. Yes, possibly for the Year 0s, but for those who have been there for at least a year and more, the chances of them calling us back is zilch. Anyway, on this topic, the level of radiation in Tokyo is now much debatable. I seem to be reading reports pertaining to the same issue, but seemingly different at the same time. Some medias report this, others that. What's the truth?? I heard my dorm's water is contaminated. A friend who was due to return today freaked out by this news and is contemplating on flying to her second home for a while. I wonder how are we going to bathe. Where are we going to get veggies and fruits from? Gotta be careful of the manufacturer. Sigh, I feel so sad for Japan. Especially the affected areas. Heard that another Mag 6 earthquake hit them again yesterday.. Thinking about the people over there fighting so hard to survive puts me in shame that I'm even worried about food and water. Yes, those are necessities in life, but what about them? Don't they need those necessities too? And it makes it even worse that that's where their lives are at. For us, we can always flee home and seek shelter, but for them, they don't have any place else to go. Contaminated water? They gotta drink.
Writing about this, it brings to mind a verse I was reading this morning: "Life is more than food, the body more than clothes." We've been worrying about the slightest thing for our whole lives. What's food if you have no life? What are clothes if you have no body to put them on?
A discussion we had once during ISS@K. We always question God "Why me?!" when disaster befalls. But why is it that noone asks "Why me?!" when we've been blessed with something? Do we think we're worthy of blessings and not curses? Why is it that I can have a car but she can't? Why is it that I can have a happy family but he can't? We need more people to ask such questions instead of, "Why is it that he can have that and I can't?" or Why is it that he gets to go to UK to study and I can't? It's not fair!"
I don't know about you, but I think I've been such a spoiled brat - being never thankful, always grumbling. This is something that I have to reflect on every single day. For the rest of my life.
My blog posts have been getting heavier and heavier of late. Haha, I have no idea why too. Just had alot of time on hand to mull over Life's issues. Meeting the girls for Thai food tomorrow! Can't wait (:
