Slow it down baby, take a little longer…
i’ve just realised how blessed i am to be surrounded by some really positive people. You know the ones. The ones that are so happy to be alive, that they just radiate happiness and positivity.
i think the French call it ‘joie de vivre’, or literally, the joy of living. idk. They have much better, more eloquent ways of expressing themselves than English. And the people i know, yeah they’re absolutely overflowing with it, and it shows. They treat every day as a gift that won’t be repeated again, as a friend of mine wrote in a birthday card this year, every day is “a gift of time”. Every day is different, you’ll never live another 30th of May 2012 for example - and this might be a good thing, it might be a bad thing, but either way, for better or for worse, it’s gone. Every second can just slip by you if you let it - and i’ve defs been guilty of doing that way too much recently, things’ve gotten so overwhelming that i’ve just let them hit me as they come, not really taking time out to enjoy the little things as i should.
So basically yes. i’m just really glad to know them :) these people really seize the day, and don’t just exist, or survive from day to day - they live. And more power to them for doing it. i admire them *imaginary toast*
PS. Yes i know that the title doesn’t really have much to do with anything, they’re just lyrics from Flo Rida’s new song ‘Whistle’, which is an amazingly catchy song i’m currently obsessed with right now haha. i do like this line though, for a number of reasons:
- It reminds me to take life a bit slower sometimes and not just rush madly from home to work to class to the shops to whatever else - and this sorta fit with the mood of this post :)
- It’s probably one of the less sexually explicit lines from the song :P
Hope y’all are having a great day/night :)

Nearly halfway through the week :)
- Prac test yesterday - done :) i didn’t do great, and the examiners were a tad intimidating in their actions and their questions [i mean come on, ‘what did you do here’? REALLY? Way to make a girl sweat hah] but i think i passed… i say now, not realising that i completely bombed it.
- High school visit today - done, i think we did quite well, all things considering.
- Get better - well, this isn’t happening, in fact i completely lost my voice this afternoon [it was going during the visit but luckily i lasted…]
- First years’ first ‘prac’ exam finally over, which is an amazing feeling. i didn’t realise how nervous i was for them, haha, and i am seriously glad it’s over :) most of them seem to’ve done quite well, his tricky questions weren’t too bad, which is good.
- Got to see T, S and Rich today before their test, when i was meeting with J, B and P for our group presentation, which was good, got to wish them luck :D
In other news, i am quite worried/annoyed about L and M… was in the car with them today and like, they trash-talked a few people - some that i know, some that i don’t, and did like impersonations of them and stuff - i don’t really know what it is that put me on edge about that but it did. i suppose it’s the insecurity, i don’t know what they say about me behind my back, but i know they do say something - or is that just my hyperinflated ego talking? To be quite frank i don’t particularly care haha, i don’t really think of them as being friends of mine anyway and i have way too much to think/worry about as is haha.
Don’t really have much else to talk about, i just need to get through this week. Haven’t been productive at all unfortunately >.< but it’s ok. i’m just so tired =.= i must get my voice back before Thursday - do you guys have any tips on getting rid of colds/sore throats/laryngitis??
Anonymous asked: These CU people sound like intolerant bitches, quite contradictory to what they're meant to be.
Hm… Your question/statement made me think, anon, and i don’t think it’s quite accurate. i mean yes there are certain members of CU that are a bit dogmatic and i don’t really see eye to eye with them - don’t think i ever will to be honest - and some of the opinions expressed within the club are a bit more evangelistically-oriented and… for lack of a better word, fundamentalist, than i’ve ever encountered. But ‘intolerant bitches’ is a bit harsh, perhaps they’re right after all, who knows? Maybe i am being a bit too watered-down and lackadaisical in my approach to Christianity, maybe being ‘chill’ isn’t really the way to go, and they are right to rebuke me, as Paul writes in one of his letters. Who knows really.
And let’s not forget that there are some truly amazing, Godly, kindhearted, generous people at CU too, that are among some of the loveliest people i’ve ever met.
