Worry

hi everybody! it's the weekend. (yay!)
exams are coming. (BOO...)
but those of you who are worrying...
i just want to share with you my week.
perhaps it could be a form of encouragement.

This week is a very important week for most people in hall (hostel) because it is the week we run for elections to be in the JCRC (exco committee). I know what you all are thinking. Exco only ma. big meh?! Honestly, I wouldn't have cared if we didn't need it to continue staying in hostel the following years.

This is how it works. Hall works on "CCA" points accumulation and the cut off point is 52. So to get into hall for year 2 you must have at least 5 "CCAs" to get that kind of points. It is split into 3 categories, culture, sports and committees. Because I'm not in any culture(didn't have time to go for audits), and not in any sports(fat mah=]), so i have to join comms.

why would anyone want to stay in hall?
1. It's near school.
2. Food is provided.
3. Hall is fun!

Monday night
I ran for chairperson (chairperson gets the most points, cos only chairperson is in EXCO) of hall deco and creative arts.

the interviewer was irritating.
(halfway through the interview)
him: what happens if you don't get this post?
me: run for other positions?
him: ok. looks like i'll be seeing you again.
me: -_____-''' (BIG HINT)

It came to the point where i was spacing out and praying a miracle would happen. I didn't get the post la, so i was quite upset. "die la... can't stay in hall liao HOWWWW...."

Tuesday
Still spacing out. My day had been horrible too because I didn't really like the lessons for that day.

Tuesday Night
Called Nathaniel to complain (u all know who he is right...).
His advise: You are not happy with a lot of things and it is affecting the way you do other things. You never really accepted the setback....It would be better if you weigh the importance and divide your emotions carefully.

I was very very very very very very angry with him! I mean. To me hall was important. I wanted very very very very very badly to stay!!!!! So i scolded him and told him it was rubbish.

(EH WAIT. I KNOW IT WAS MY FAULT THINKING THAT WAY, BUT THE STORY HAVEN'T FINISH!!!!!!! GIRLS HAVE THEIR MOODS YOU KNOW.)

so anyway, that night we had block CG and I was just talking to God again (until my sis interrupted me) and I came upon this verse.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14: 27

yeaaa. I found out that nat was trying to tell me that that wasn't like all my life is about. The one thing that I didn't have was peace and I worried too much. I was also too scared to like move on (cos self esteem crushed).

Prayed about it again and asked God on what to do next.

Wednesday
Applied for vice-chair, same comm. This time had about 5 people competing with me... was nervous...

GUESS WHAT.
it was the same interviewer.
n he said the same thing. -____-

just that this time he put in the word maybe, and I got the post. yay!!!

i was really happy. really really happy.
I got into another comm too, but as a member. waiting for other comm results.

end of story!
Don't worry too much ok, guys and gals!
Matt 6: 27(NCV) says "You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it."
hehe. so don't worry, be happy!
I know it's hard, but try.

signing off,
A happy ruth!
