Something Called A Class List

It's day 336 of documenting 2025.
29 days to 2026!

Okay okay...today was good 😌
Despite finishing late last night, I was able to copy out all my assignments and submit.
But there's a problem.
Something called a class list.

It's basically a list of all the names of students in my level, arranged in order of their registration numbers.
News flash...I have mine already 😁
Anyways, a lecturer was pissed off last week because I didn't make the list like she wanted it to be.

She literally tore the paper I was drawing lines on and trashed it.
And then today, the lecturer who taught us today refused to sign on the one I had already drawn with my hand....simply because it wasn't typed and printed.
Apparently, that's how it's done around there 🙄

So, here are my fears.
First, the funds to use in typing and printing the list out...but I just thought of something that would solve it.
Next one is, if I should make the list and new students resume, I'll have to redo it. A real waste of funds.

And then...
That's basically it.

Now that I think about it, there's nothing tangible that I was afraid of...
In that case, I'm going to work on it tomorrow...and make sure it gets done ✅

Asides that, my day went well.
I came back with a headache from the stress of lectures...but it's gone now. I thank God for that 🙏

Time for highlights!
Let's see what we have for today.
And then we do the usual...ending the post with a few thoughts and my take on the topic. Let's do it!

365 Days With Self-discipline
📌 On Remembering That Your Time Is Limited

"Thinking that we have ample time to do things later is the greatest myth, the greatest hang-up, and the greatest poison.
If we knew that tonight we were going to go blind, we would take a longing, last real look at every blade of grass, every cloud formation.
If we knew that we were going to be deaf tomorrow, we would treasure every single sound."
Quote by Pema Chödrön

Death can be the ultimate motivator.
In a 2007 movie, The Bucket List , it’s their impending death that motivates two terminally-ill men to embark on a road trip with a wish list of things they want to do before their illnesses claim their lives.

From time to time I like to imagine that I have a few months of life left. I ask myself if I would die fulfilled or if there would be something I would deeply regret not having done.

Taking a few minutes to imagine such a scenario is a helpful exercise in discovering your true priorities and serves as a powerful boost of motivation to act now.

Thinking about death is morbid, but ultimately can also act as an inspiring experience that can shake you out of inaction.

Imagine your last hours and think that you’ll never be able to do the things that you’ve wanted to do your entire life, but never acted upon.

The only thing left is regret that when you could have done them, you chose to put those things off and now you can only imagine how it would feel to accomplish them.

Now realize that you’re still here, still alive and kicking, and there’s still a possibility of making your dreams come true.

Why on earth are you still putting off those important goals, knowing that one day you’ll no longer be able to pursue them?

Goals eh?
I've got a lot of them...
I think it was about a year ago, when I wrote down a list of all the things I would love to accomplish in my lifetime.
God knows if I'm on the right track.

Right now, I haven't set a goal concerning my academic result.
Can you imagine? 😒
I'm such a non-directional being!
Am I here to just live out 4 years in UNIZIK?
Do I want to disappoint the people looking up to me?

Okay, okay....
Criticism aside.
(Take it easy, Duon-mind!) 🙄
In my defense, I'm still trying to see how I can balance my online work and course rep duties and then my studies.
Sometimes, I even struggle in my walk with God...but He has shown me that nothing can separate me from His love 💜

But I've taught of a system.
One that helped me when I was back at home.
Flashcards.
I discovered that they're a big help when it comes to recalling vital information.

I've actually set up the flashcards for each course...but I haven't filled them up yet.
Seems like that's what I'll do for the next few days, just add info to each card.
Sounds like a plan! 😄

Okay, some concluding thoughts...
My dad actually told me something on Sunday....and so far, it has been guiding how I move.

I told him the name of the fellowship I was going to...and then he exclaimed!
He reminded me about the discussion we had before I came to the hostel.
Them he mentioned,

"We have come out of bondage into freedom. Don't go back into any place that will put you in bondage.
If you can, stay in your room and pray. It's you and God"
And I was like wow 😯

I was reminded that I'm to know Jesus for myself, and not subscribe to churchianity.
Point taken!
And to be honest, I lose the hours I spend in those programs...which I could have devoted to online work or homework.
We learn everyday, and sometimes I'm not so clear on the lessons I need to learn 😌

That's why I'm documenting.
So I can remember all of this in years to come and then probably pinpoint lessons that will help me or others.
So far, I'm grateful for my life...and how far Jesus has brought me.
He's the best!

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