On Being a Student

In my dream this morning, I was a student again. I didcovered I had two essays due in two days. I went looking for my course tutor to ask for an extension. My extenuating circumstances were I had been ill and hadn't attended lectures. I told him I  had already provided medical evidence.

While I was waiting for the tutor to decide, I woke up from the dream.

Thank God it wasn't real!

I work with a lot of GenZs and they tell me they have used AI to help them write their essays.  In my student days, there was no such thing as the Internet. You had to do your own research and write it without any aids. When you finish writing the essay, you had to print it out and take it to the office, hand it in and make sure it was received before the deadline time or you'll be penalised.

I wouldn't want to be a student again then or now. I prefer the teachings I am now receiving daily from the Holy Spirit about how to walk by faith in Christ and not by sight. ❤️

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Bananas

 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊
