Myself.

Tomorrow I have a self/peer assessment task to do for my Guidance and Counselling paper at uni, and I'm actually scared. It's a bit pathetic really, because it will just be a simple task where we employ some counselling skills that we've learned in the course and then our small groups will grade us, probably more generously than we deserve, judging on past experience. But for me, the idea of role playing is terrifying. The thought of it makes me feel sick. I am an incredibly introverted person, whether it's always obvious or not, and I always tense up when a teacher or lecturer says "get into groups and..." because I hate the pressure. The reality is, though, once I'm in the group and doing the task, it's always perfectly fine. It's just the thought and the initiating that I can't handle. I often even find myself taking a leadership role and helping keep the group on task!
Despite my fear of meeting new people and trying new things, I also actually love it. It's almost like the challenge brings some kind of rush. I always seem to find myself in challenging situations, and I get myself into them because the adventure of it all excites me. For example, all the overseas travelling I've done, and often by myself. I always know it's going to be tough, but I also know that it will be great and that I'll learn and experience a lot. It's amazing what God can do in and through you when something's too hard to do by yourself as well.
I've experienced a lot of different things in the past ten years especially, and now I find myself half way through my second year of full time study on this particular degree, having lived in the same house for a while, and it's kind of a weird feeling. There are of course, so many things I still want to see and do in the world, but for now it's almost like I'm ready to settle down or something. Haha, slight problem there... lack of someone to settle down with!
Well, that thought pattern went in an interesting direction...
That's all for now!
