Late start to the morning. Rushed to school for the annual C&O social to meet new students. I think I kind of talked to two new students, and that might have been a record for me...heh. However, it was a bit disturbing when the grad chair Bill doesn't know my name... Wasted the afternoon even though I was in the office. Came back tired as always, woken up by Ed's phone call asking me if I want to go out for dinner, and sure, why not. Went to dinner with Ed and Peter, and then played some games at Ed's place. A deal (or not) later, that's about it for the day.

Random notes...

• I got my first ever "fist bump," and it was with Pritchard at the social today. I still have no idea why that was done, but it was sort of cool, I guess.
• I see Ed and Peter having so much fun playing table tennis and darts, and I...just don't get it. I like the company, but I just don't get how such activities can be enjoyable...
• I used the prayer meeting as an opportunity to read the book Prayer by O. Hallesby. I kept reading on my own a little bit, and it's requiring such a different approach to prayer from me...I hope to learn it quickly.
• No kidding...after 4 days, nobody else is willing to make a suggestion for the topic of the second myf Bible study. It's a simple fill-in-the-blank topic, God is _____. Maybe we think too much...or too little...or maybe we just don't care. Then again, I should stop worrying about it...I do feel a lot of responsibility riding in me, that's why I was so concerned... Also, we are talking about attributes of the Almighty God Himself...cannot take this thing lightly.
• I weighed myself this morning, which is something that I haven't done in a while. Turns out that I'm holding steady at 79kg or 174lbs. That was quite surprising to me since I haven't done any serious exercise in a long long time now...

I'm grateful to God for...

• the good evening spent with Ed and Peter;
• the interesting conversations at the C&O social today;
• forgiving my sins and helping me gradually leave the guilt behind;
• moving me to unexpected prayers; and
• the struggle in continuing to shape my heart towards one that is right in serving Him.
