 I'm so grateful that my home for the year is just 5 mins away from the library! This week my laptop had to be passed over to PC World for over a week, due to the fan breaking. So, I'm now laptop-less and internet-less for the next few days. Although at the time I was reaaaaally annoyed, it's meant that I've had to spend the day at the library in order to have access to a computer.This has meant that I've ended up having one of my most productive days yet! Plus, it means that I'm not constantly glued to a screen whilst sitting in my room! So despite it being a negative at the time - I'm now definitely seeing the benefits! Reason no. 32 :)

Today's lecture was brilliant! I've just got a new lecturer for the next 5 weeks and she's absolutely hilarious :) The whole way through, her comments and little gestures most certainly made my last lecture of the week a real enjoyment. The added bonus is the fact that she finished an hour early! Reason no. 31 :)

This week I got my first library fine! BUT, the amazing thing was when I went to pay it - they couldn't see why I'd got it in the first place and wiped away my debt away - how amazing! I couldn't help but smile! Through that incident God totally reminded me how Jesus' death totally cancelled out my every sin...Reason no. 30 :)

This week I had a lovely evening with loads of the SLTs. We had some pizza and headed out to watch the fireworks. They're such a great bunch of people and I'm excited to think they're the people I get to spend the next 4 years with! Reason no. 29 :)

God has the best plans for my life! I may 'know' it, but whether I live in the fullness of it day in and day out is an entirely different story...it can be so easy to lean on my own understanding and my way of looking at situations, that I can end up giving God a look in only after a few attempts by me! But, God's so good and so gracious - even in these situations God doesn't stop caring or loving me! I love that God has such amazing plans for every area of my life. Reason no. 28 :)

I'm grateful to God giving me strength each day! Since being at uni my body clock has had to shift - much later nights and not always gaining many hours of sleep at other times. The fact, that I'm able to keep going and fit in all that I'm doing each week is definitely a testimony to God's goodness! Reason no. 27 :)

Yesterday, I watched an episode of 'Educating Yorkshire'. It was all about a year 11 boy with a stammer and the effects it had on his life. Watching it reminded me exactly why I want to become a Speech and Language Therapist. Seeing the boy do a talk in front of his entire year, pass his English GCSE (which involves a 20% oral contribution) and leave his time at school smiling! Little reminders of the end goal is definitely encouraging and motivating when there seems to be endless tasks to get through! Reason no. 26 :)
