It is true what they say about 5th Week. It's all true. 5th Week Blues are almost unavoidable... but I have survived!
It's been a very long week. It already seems like I've been here for years - at least three of which have been this past week. I slept until 11.30 this morning - late even for me! Tonnes of work at the beginning of the week, but somehow managed to get it mostly done on time.
An amazing week spiritually, too... We've started 10.30pm prayer meetings in the chapel. It's been challenging, encouraging, and many other adjectives ending in ing. I'm sure I remember telling someone that I'm sure I've learnt more about God in the past five weeks than I have about computers, and it's pretty much true.
For one reason or another, I haven't been to bed before 1am most of this week - and with 9am lectures, that's never a good thing. 6th Week should be easier: our tutor is in Europe, so we only have one tutorial. (We'll regret this come the last day of term, when we have a solid afternoon to catch up...)
Music news: Delirious?'s new album came through the post today. The Mission Bell is almost completely different in sound to World Service. I read somewhere: "Where World Service was about grace, The Mission Bell is about mission... a call to arms". My personal favourite tracks are Solid Rock and Now Is The Time; lyrics from which I will leave you with.
"Now is the time for us to shine,
Shine with the face of Christ divine;
No compromise, for all heaven cries,
Now is the time."
