It has been 2 years in SMU so far. The exam results were released today. All I pray, hope and wish for is a minimum GPA of 3.4. Simple pleasures. Just that little minimum aim to fit the requirement of pre-requisite for transfer of programme.

This semester has been an interesting one. I received my worst grade ever for a module, and that was the first result I received on ELEARN. A grade of C+, which amounts to a GPA of 2.3. In my mind, I was like, will a minimum of 3.4 even be possible? Frankly speaking, it seemed impossible with a 2.3 sitting down there.

I'm not exactly sure why some people I know (I won't mention names) would actually cry all night over a B+? Like seriously. I don't get it. Maybe they have too high expectations of themselves? I don't want to judge others, but I find it just so annoying at times when they can't even see that a B+ is actually a blessing, considering there are many others who can't even achieve a B+ but much lower grades. 

When I received my grades this afternoon, it was a pleasant surprise. Overall, despite the C+, I still maintained a GPA of at least 3.4, which somehow is my 2nd best semester also. Kinda strange right? Having a C+ yet the 2nd best semester so far. I'm at a loss of words.

Some of my friends wondered "C+??? If I were you, I'd probably cry". I think I've grown slightly indifferent towards grades already. Just do my best, accept the results and just hope and pray for the best. After all, "ask and it will be given to you" -- All I asked was a minimum 3.4, and if it is Your will to give me that minimum, the Lord will provide somehow, even when it seemed impossible (just like that 2.3). 

Indeed, nothing is impossible with the Lord, and the minimum was fulfilled.

Thank You Lord once again for showing me that "all of Your promises won't let go of me".

Campus time to post-campus time

"How you will serve in church after graduation will be determined by how you will serve during campus ministry time"

True indeed. If "no time" is what you'd say during campus ministry time, there won't even be time during after graduation for sure.

It's about prioritization.

Hold firmly

Hold firmly = Continue to believe and practice

Hold firmly to His Word.

Hold firmly to my own convictions and godly values.

How hard is it for us Christians to hold firmly to what we believe in, despite of all the worldly temptations and values all around us?
