Slept at 5.30 am this morning... arg, I was a wreck when I woke up. I went to bed at 1.45am and I couldn't get to sleep until about 3 partly because my nose was totally blocked due to a worse case of sinus (and well, probably because of Titus as well). Just when I was getting a bit more drowsy my housemates started to come in at 3ish and they made a din as usual... rang the doorbell a few times, ran noisily up and down the stairs indiscriminately, shouted and laughed... sigh. I was really tolerant about everything at first, but when I looked at the clock and it said 4.45am, my 'tolerance bubble' just burst and I burst into tears. When they started running up and down the stairs and, apparently, playing some game, I went out the door and said, "what the hell is going on?!" (Yes. I know I wasn't a very good testimony and I hope God forgives me... sigh.) Then they went, "shhh, shhh. It's Jean, it's Jean." Not long after they made some noise again, albeit at a lower volume. But it's still noise.
Everything went pretty much quiet soon after. The guys left, and it was just me and the big blank dark space again. It was even more difficult to sleep because you've passed that 'certain time'. I kept praying and praying... and eventually fell asleep.
As mentioned above, I woke up like a wreck. But I went to Turner's Croft to help out for this afternoon's 'Hot Potatoes', this evangelical informal talk and lunch held at 1.15pm. Went earlier to prepare food, dish out flyers and stuff... Surprisingly, I felt quite alright throughout, but when I went for the lecture my mind immediately switched off. I could integrate some of the things Judith Buchanan lectured about, but my A4 fulscap had about 5 lines. Yeah, it was on film, but I know there could be more to write about... because I was drifting away most of the time. Oh, bother. I'm really starting to think I should move out of this house. Heng Chin was telling me about Younger Court, House G this morning... Esther, a Hongkonger, just moved there and she says that she likes it there because it's rather quiet. I'm more or less determined to move already, but I'm still praying about it.
"Trust in the Lord and not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:7-8
Yeah. And there's the SGL thing... I really have no idea if I should take it up or not.
Hai.
Oh well. I'm going out with my seminar mates tonight. We're going to the village pub called Charles, then we're going to this cocktail bar called Evileye. Johnny Depp went to Evileye when he was filming in York. Haha. How cool is that. And it was during the beginning of term I think.
Ok. Gonna read some more Titus now.
