I've got so many things on my mind, so many things I want to say. My assignments have been going very good so far. Done with one, almost done with another, and I am about to begin my third. The timing couldn't be better. I got so worried that I would not, and probably will not have time to do any revision this holiday because of the stupid assignments, but I was shone light upon the fact that once the assignments are all done, I can actually begin my revision to ease my fear. Yes I know, I'm eccentric, but I think studying is one of the few things that can keep me sane and on my toes.
The book of Mark has been the topic of bible study, and last night we went through some of the more famous stories of Jesus, such as his burst of anger in the temple courts, and the fig tree, to name a few. I am sad to say that I took the stance of I already know these stories so I didn't think much, but I was in such awe when I realised how much I did not know, such as Jesus showed restraint before bursting in verse 11 I think, and nobody stopped Jesus when he was throwing people out, no police, no opposition from religious leaders. I never realised that. And the fig tree...for the life of me, I do not know why I could not see the link in the fig tree. I knew it was there somewhere. But I'm not so bothered by the fact that I could not see the link, but more amazed at what the link actually was.
OK, me and my antics. I've just skimmed the surface for Econs, and each lecture I learn something new I'm filled with awe at how simple yet complex the models get. I've just skimmed the surface for Finance, and each lecture I fall asleep, but when I read, I'm mystified by the wonder of markets. I've just skimmed the surface for Accounting, and each day I develop more and more hatred toward the cursed subject. But I've been exposed to the Bible, and to it's teachings for 20 years, and everyday I remind myself of how much I do not know.
On a separate note, where do we draw the line between what we have to do, and what we want to do? Our conscience, perhaps our responsibility...I don't know.
