In His Radiance

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. Matt5:14-16

September 06

The month of September. There is a lot happening this month. For a start Monday is the beginnning of the mock exams for me. 2 exams on Monday, 2 on Tuesday and one on Thursday. I'm going to be writing a lot of essays in the next few days and I really hope my hand heals (injured yesterday at Koru) so I can get through all the writing. Fortunetly it's only mock exams and so it only counts if, at the end of the year I'm either sick or dead.

There is a camp the following week for YouthAlpha which is going to be really fun. I think it's called something like "The Holy Spirit Weekend" Sounds awesome anyway. YouthTrain finished today so now it's just homework to do and the speech/sermon to perform in three weeks time. Originally it was to be next Saturday but because of exams and various other people not being able to do it, the date has been postponed to the 23rd. My sister's birthday is on the 24th and Father's day is tomorrow (I think). There are more camps coming up in October but I'm probably going to talk more about them nearer the time.

I'm filling in my school Record of Achievement (ROA) at the moment. It's kind of annoying though because I'm only allowed to write things that I've done through the school and that disadvantages me heaps. eg, many of my friends did first aid with the school but I did my first aid course through work and so my friends can write that in but I can't (even though the course I did gave me NCEA credits) It's quite interesting trying to remember everything I've achieved whilst attending Cashmere High School over the last 5 years. It's a pity I can't seem to think about a lot of what I've done. I kinda wish I filed away all my certificates and things so I could write them down because I remember faintly that I have got awards and things but I just can't remember what they were or waht they were for, and if I did it wouldn't matter anyway because we need to show proof which I obviously don't have. I know I got some Australian Mathematics awards back in my earlier days. Oh well.

The rugby is on tonight and I'll be going with OBY. Some of my friends from school will be there too so I might have to go say hi to them for a while. One of them wants to flat with me when I go down to Otago next year, but I think I would prefer to board for the first year atleast (just to get solidly grounded in a church environment. But in saying that, I'm not replacing Opawa, it's irreplacable!)

I've not really got a lot more to say, not that I can think of anyway. Other than just a really warm thanks to particular people that have given time to listen. Thank you.

This is quite off topic, but do I remember correctly that you said you were thinking of going to Otago to become a pharmacist?

You remember correctly. I've already applied to Otago and now they're just waiting on my school results. Why do you ask?

Because I'm thinking of studying to be one too!
