I’m still alive; if you count living in Liverpool!
After two months, I thought that it might be a good idea to post another message on here- otherwise people will be wondering what had actually become of me (well one person would anyway- I don’t have that many friends; if any).
Well I suppose you’ll all be wondering what I have been up to, and to tell the truth I’ve experienced a plethora of new experiences, all of which are legal and moral; many I do not have (or choose not to make) the time for. So sorry, you’ll have to do with my usual ramblings. I will though tell you about a few main points…
Hall Group leading
At the end of the term, I was asked by one of my hall group leaders whether I wanted to pick up the reins as regards hall group leading. At first this really did appeal to me, as it would give me more time to study God’s word and to really devout some time to Him. However, after really praying about it, I decided that I should focus my time and efforts elsewhere. This was a really tough decision, as I wanted to make sure that I was doing what God had told me, not what I wanted to do. Another complication was the fact that if I did accept the responsibility of Hall group leading, I wouldn’t be able to move into a house; something which was really set on my heart...more details on housing explained below.
Anyway, that’s really all there was to it; some hard praying, some peoples opinions and some more praying. If I’m honest I still can’t believe I’m not doing it, but for now I think it’s the right decision; though who knows what the future will bring!!
Home for Christmas
This Christmas I had a great time at home. Although it was hard adjusting to the different pace of lifestyle (things move at the speed of light at home), although I soon got used to the fact there was no washing, cleaning or cooking to do! It was really good coming home and spending time with my family and friends; I hadn’t realised how much I had missed home. At Uni, you don’t have the chance to stop or think, so I don’t normally get homesick, however, by the same token I really do appreciate and cherish the friends and family I’ve got back home. Whoa that’s so cheesy. What I meant was, I enjoyed my Christmas and enjoyed the fellowship that went with it.
Housing (as promised)
Today was the first time that I finally met all of my potential future housemates for next year. I was a bit apprehensive because I’m new to all this stuff, but I was amazed how much God was in control of even that. He seems to be providing everything for me at the moment which is amazing. We had a good afternoon together and, God willing, are looking at a potential house on Tuesday; all very exciting!!
Anyway, I think I’ve rambled enough; I will try and post something else before March just so that you k now I’m still in one piece. Take care everyone and if I don’t have the time to post before; HAPPY EASTER.

I must confess you have been a little mislead in the Hall Group leader. Most of our hall Group leaders, don't live in halls, in fact I think all of them dpon't live in Uni halls. 2 of them live in a house. I've not heard any complaints from any of our hall group leader pat or present about not being allowed to live in a house. Last year (my 2nd year you wern't here then) noneof our hall group leaders were in halls, and I never heard any issue. I see the advantages of living in halls but it's unworkable for us, especially for you who havn't been in Uni accomadation. This peobably goes only for hall group (Self catered if anyone else is reading) because we have so many different halls together. But it's still your desision, I just thought that it should ve made clear that I've heard absolutly no complaints about from our leaders about not living in halls. Good luck with the house by the way.
