Navigating Novelty

It's day 337 of documenting 2025.

28 days to 2026!

Okay, I realized something today.

I'm still easily cajoled into doing stuff.

Something I thought I had overcome 😐

But it may be for good...

So, here's the gist.

Our seniors from the upper levels came to the class today.

They talked about a coronation event coming up on Saturday.

And they stated that they needed representatives from our class for the royal positions.

Guess who signed up? 

Me and my two left legs!

The thing is, there's a form to pay for if you're interested in any of the positions.

I was like, "oh well, even if I wanted to try for the "Ada"....I can't pay 3k for it".

Then a coursemate volunteered to pay for my form!

Can you imagine? I still can't! 😮

And this coursemate recently started having lectures with us.

It's not like I even know him personally...he just offered to pay for the form.

And I was nothing short of grateful.

News is, I'm now representing my department at a traditional level.

And if there's any festival happening, I will be present.

You know what I'm thinking now?

Well, it goes like this

"What have I gotten myself into!"

I've got my course rep duties, my online work as well as my studies!

Recently, I just feel like I'm adding more to my plate than I need to.

But the thing is, anytime I feel overwhelmed, Jesus is always  to comfort me 😇

With all these engagements, I'm learning how to multitask, prioritize and focus on the specific task.

But, most times I don't know how to manage my energy.

Sometimes I fall asleep in class, and when the lecture is over, I don't feel sleepy anymore.

That's something I have to figure out.

Alright, let's look at highlights for today and we end the post as usual.

The book is almost done and dusted! 😄

365 Days With Self-discipline

📌 On a Coin Flip

"When you are undecided on a difficult decision, flip a coin.

Why?

Because when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know which side you

really want."

Quote by Nathan Barry

This simple trick is one of the most powerful decision-making tools.

Whenever you’re hesitant, let fate decide for you and you’ll immediately realize

which option you prefer to take.

If you don’t have a coin, name your options A, B, C, etc. and ask your friend to randomly pick one letter. 

If there’s nobody around you and you need to make a quick decision, randomly pick one of the options and ask yourself how

you feel now that you’ve decided on it.

We often know in our gut which option is better, but we get stuck in the

decision-making process out of a fear of missing out on something that another

option might offer us.

Turning the final decision over to something that is outside of your control amplifies your inner voice and leads to better decisions.

Really?

Cos there are difficult decisions that are arising...and I can't seem to make a choice.

But I just thought of something that could possibly help me.

Partnering with AI 🤝

(Let's see how it goes)

Any other concluding thoughts.

Nothing much...

Other than the fact that God always finds a way to provide for my needs even before I ask 🥲

He has told me that He will never leave me nor forsake me on this campus...and I'm standing on His Word.

All this engagement in activities is something I have never done before.

It's all a new experience.

I believe that my Sweet Jesus is watching, and something I have never done...neither will I do, no matter how hard I fall....is to give in to the condemnation of the enemy.

I will always come to Jesus 🥰

Because when I start thinking of who to confide in about all my problems, nobody comes to mind.

Jesus is literally the only person I can talk to that will listen....and most times give me direction on what to do next.

He has never failed me since He caught my attention in August....and I know He never will.

Sometimes I think about and wonder,

"Who am I, that Jesus loves me this way? I don't even deserve half of all that He does for me.

I always transgress...and then meet His mercy every single time"

When I'm in this stream of thought and I start listening to music, tears just build up in my eyes 🥲

Gratitude always follows.

And then the mindset of representing Christ on earth, in all aspects.

I'm going to figure things out.

And when I do, it will be easy to just run with it, to the glory of His name.

Jesus is the Sovereign King! ✨

I think that would be all for today's documentation.

Thanks for reading 🎀

28 days left, people!

Word is, by 22nd of this month...school vacates for the Christmas break.

That day, it would be 8 days left!

Then I will finally be able to write about the last days of 2025.

See you in the next post 💜
