Rome was not built in one day

Oh wow, it's been a while since my last update. I am already returning to London tomorrow, how time flies when your "revising".

Well apart from revising, I spent the weekend in Loughborough to visit my dear friend Carman. It was a fabulous weekend and it was lovely to see her again. I reckon the weekend made me reflect how little time I have left till exams and that I need to start cracking on revision. So that's what I did, I visited the library yesterday and it was a productive day. However today productivity came crashing down! I need to lock away my laptop.

So let's talk about my time in Loughborough. Carman's housemates were all really lovely and it nice to sit down with them and have dinner!! I'd ate on my own in the past few days so was nice to share dinner with others.

Her housemates are all very strong christians and a majority of the things they do are to serve God. In a positive way I felt closer to God after staying with them for a weekend. Staying with them and listening to Carman's experiences of God, made me think the power of praying and the chance to reflect upon it. It made me think...when I was a kid I always prayed to God so why have I stopped now? I shouldn't pray to God only when I want something because that isn't the point in praying right? It is a way to build your relationship with God. Carman's experiences with prayers made me realise that God does answer your prayers. I have always believed that "good things happen to those who do good things" but at times this may not even be valid. For even the nicest person they will still undergo punishment. It is a matter of time and belief for God to answer your prayers and when in need he is there for you. Please God, please answer my prayers.

I need to procrastinate less and do more work!!! REMEMBER THAT CHRISTINE!!!!

I really really really want an internship this summer. I dream of working this summer but plans haven't gone to plan and I have just received rejections upon rejections. I hope through my hard work and the mistakes I have made in the past will bring me opportunities. I just need to remember that the hard work will pay off and you will be granted with the effort that you put in. Opportunities do not come suddenly. You have to work for it. Likewise Rome was not built within a day.

Much Love,
