Last Political Theory class. We took a class photo!
There's something about being in an Honours Class; everyone kinda knows one another and when the music fades and the last dance's over, everyone still lingers on the dance floor to catch the last wisp of nostalgia. And boy, was it an awesome dance. Much humour, laughter, idiosyncrasies and intellectual debates. I'm really thankful for Dr Pellerin and how he insisted that we hold discussions after he lectures even though there were protests. It really facilitated learning, interaction and friendships.
CS wrote me a letter because it's the last time we will meet each other whilst he is still an undergraduate. i'm really quite touched. Thank God for friendships. He has been a good senior and brother-in-Christ to me; both of us believe that God has been deliberate in making our paths meet. As a believer i do think that everyday of my life is orchestrated by a loving and sovereign God, but it's usually more acute in certain relationships than others. I know that CS will go forth as light into the world :)
I think RL Boy said "i think i'll miss you" before we parted but i'm not sure. Or i'm pretty sure he said it but i'm disbelieving that he would say something like that directly. He's been a friend, despite a certain degree of discomfort on my part. Till now he's pretty much still a stranger whose motivations i do not fully grasp but i always choose the side of humanity and friendships over schemes and evil intentions. Yes, there is the sinfulness of man and the deceitful heart to contend with, but by and large I believe the human race is capable of good, because God is good. I'm getting ahead of myself by talking in such macro, moralistic terms! I just pray that one day he will come to know Jesus as the only way, truth and the life. I believe it's tiring for agnostics who think through theology thoroughly and yet find no satisfactory conclusion. After class RL and i would usually hang out but today i decided to lunch with Vania to catch up with her. She's such a perky and likable girl to be with.
I remember saying how lonely i was last semester and i prayed specifically for God to bring me more friends. And He did! I feel like i've a whole new wardrobe of them. Whatever it is, i still thank God that He has put all these different people along my path this season. I've learnt and grown much and I believe it's to prepare me for greater Glory that's in Him.
goodbye, till we meet again.
