It's been 2 weeks into uni. and guess what? as part of our motor learning and control prac, we're learning the cossack dance !! only a bit of it though. as a treat, our tutor showed us a clip of the russian soldiers doing it, and wow they're good. we're training for 2 weeks so that we can do the squat kicks that the cameo soldier does.
I reckon the squatting will be the hardest to do, but it does look fun.
Yesterday, we also had a lecture on clinicals. I'm really excited and looking forward to going on placement in May :) !

Oday
Today was Oday at Cumbo. Funnily enough, there was much more than last year in store for the first years. Fairy floss, stage set up and chairs, all the stalls of the student associations, free barbeque. Last year I remembered we only had small muffins and fruit for morning tea and no stalls at all. Most of them were saved for first week back at uni.
I got a chance to talk to a lot of people, practiced some of my chinese with international students too, and realised how much it had deteriorated.
I'm really looking forward to uni starting and seeing what's in store for us. 5 days a week, shall be great !

primary schools concert
How fast time flies.
I was at town hall today while waiting for some friends. I saw primary school kids streaming from the side doors of the hall at around 4:30. Purple t-shirts with goose pictures at the front, black pants, black shoes. Kids waiting for their parents to take them around the city, in the time between practice and the actual performance. Others running around the courtyard, supervised by teachers.
I can still remember when I was in year 6, and Mrs Owen and Mrs Allen took us to the primary schools choral concert. Haha I still have the booklet in the cabinet next to the piano, and I can still remember how to sing most of the songs. Funny how there are some memories of your childhood that you remember so vividly, and others that you totally forget. This was one of those memorable moments.
From today, I'll stand a little taller. From today, I'll lift my chin and smile. Every doubt will disappear, every fear swept away. And I'll face tomorrow, from today

It's been three weeks into the holidays.
One week was spent at Meroo on a five day conference along with christian groups from UTS, UWS and Wollongong. We focused on the cross of Christ and remembered what Christ has done for us. Summing up what I was reminded of.
We have all sinned by rebelling against God.
We've chosen to live life our own way without the need for God.
The gravity of sin is enormous, and our due punishment is facing the wrath of God.
What is facing the wrath of God like?
Imagine pitch darkness, no sun, sickness, every good thing you've ever known gone. For every good thing comes from God, and in that place, God won't be there.
What struck me most was that this world is already a glimpse of what hell is like. But it is only partial, because God's goodness is still here.
This is the outcome for anyone who has not placed their trust in Jesus.
For while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God took his wrath onto himself, not because of us, but because of his name's sake. Because he is love, that we may be forgiven and can live with Him. There is nothing that you need to do to be forgiven by God. Because you have already been forgiven, if you acknowledge your sin and believe that Jesus has died and taken your punishment on the cross.
Spent another week of the holidays packing up notes from first semester. Watched Karate Kid as well. It was an alright movie, lots of kung fu. I didn't think it should be rated PG though, there were a lot of little kids in the cinema when we were watching.
I've only ever heard good things about Toy Story 3. Shall be watching it soon before uni starts.
