I have, at this very moment in my life put 13 years of education being me . That is a lot ! But yet , here I am about to venture into another 4 years of education , but this time it's different. This time it is bigger then it has ever been before.
Firstly, my transition from primary to secondary school was quiet literally a step across a road, that's pretty much what I had to do, change uniforms, get new teacher walk across the road! It was, at the time a massive deal to me and my classmates of course, but compared to this transition it was a piece of cake.
Now, I have moved. I am now in Galway, a different county, a different province then I am used to . I am specializing in subjects that I actually have an interest in, rather then ones that I had to do for the sake of an exam. I am living on my own, without my mommy and daddy taking care of me, I have to take care of me!! It is without a doubt a scary experience , but totally exciting too ! Despite the fact that the volume of people and the size of this college is so overwhelming , I love it - I completely love it .
I feel like I am on one big adventure ..... life is an adventure ! This happens to be one of my first really big ones ! A wise person once said " The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams " . My dream ever since I was small was to go to college , now I'm here and I couldn't be happier . Of course packing some of my stuff from the room I have lived in for the last 18 years of my life was strange, setting up a new room somewhere complete different without my parents was strange ( and upsetting ) being a proper adult is strange- but it is all a wonderful strange . I can safely say that this is going to be the most exciting , most interesting chapter of my life so far and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me .
The chapter so far :
So far, I have fallen in love with the City I will be calling home for the next 4 years. The buzz around Shop Street as you walk down it is amazing. Men playing upright pianos in the middle of the street, people painting picture and musicians standing on railings . The fact that I am in a city and do not have 2 fields either side of me with bellowing cows ( yet there remains to be " cows that say beep " ) , everything being so fantastically friendly - it is fabulous, and I am in love .
I have spent more time with my best friend and her fabulous sisters , which is epic. They have taken me under their wing so to speak and I couldn't be more blessed with such fantastic friends in my life.
I am experiencing God in a whole new way....and I kinda love it ! My faith has been woken up somewhat recently . In a way I have been praying for. I feel alive , enriched and inspired! It is something I am going to have to really think and pray hard about now. But I am thankful that I am experiencing my faith in a whole new way.
To put in simply - I love it here , I love college !
