The Dissection of Mr. Anderson
POSTED ON: August 10, 2011 @ 8:09 PM | 0 comments
Mr. Anderson came into the hall in a fast paced manner without a hint of waver. He taught the first 2 hours of my college days. He seemed angry and yet kind. It was confusing.
Mr. Anderson teaches with zeal, though just slightly less strong. He thinks he teaches in a manner that people can remember from just hearing it once, but sadly, memorising names of paintings and artists isn't that easy. But Mr. Anderson is a good lecturer.
Mr. Anderson says things on his mind in a straight-forwardly manner. Usually in a way of constructive criticism, with the intention of pointing out the flaws of the student so that they'll know what to improve on.
Mr. Anderson thinks of his students. He cares for them. Rarely do I see this sincere emotion of a teacher/lecturer. Though most are still sincere, there's none who really say it with such heartfelt feelings.
Mr. Anderson may have flaws and may have hurt people, but he has good intentions. The last class I had with Mr. Anderson felt like dinners held at the ends of Primary and Secondary school days. That one day showed who he really is. Mr. Anderson judged our works --students who are just in their 1st semester of college-- not by our skills but by the effort, thoughts, and meaning behind them. He didn't fail a group of students because of their half-hearted work, but he understood their situation and wanted them to pass the subject.

A few days ago, a guy who's slightly older than me, above his 20's, told me that I was pretty. >_< Though not directly.
Trying to be as vague as possible. And this guy... is my crush, and it's also the first time that a guy called me pretty.
When he said it, I didn't know what to say or think. My mind just went blank. Not in the "Omgosh!
❤" way but that, "I
can't feel a thing" way. Probably it just didn't make me as happy as if he said that when my crush on him was still... quite a lot. Or so I thought.
About a day passed, and I was thinking about it,
almost the whole day! Almost. I don't know what got into me, but it was filling my mind. Probably it's because he said it, and probably it's because this is the first time I heard that from the mouth of a male. Probably?

Sem break is coming! Sem is ending! Will be majoring soon! Technically, that's a bit wrong 'cause my next college semester would have the same subjects as the other majors too. But I guess I am interested in learning what's in store for us. :)
An ending sem means the flood of final projects, which equals tiring college days. >.< But things haven't been so stressful these days due to the major culprit being terminated! To put it simply, it's because my History presentation in front of the most critical lecture is now the past. It's been putting needless stress on me as the weeks drew closer to this one.dreaded.Monday. And praise God, my team passed the presentation! One thing which I can't get off my mind is that I said too much, "err"'s and "umm"'s... orz
For a more detailed update, hmm... I think I can safely say that in a few weeks time, I am officially without a crush. :) The feelings are dying down noticeably, which is kinda like a good thing. Cheers for me to hopefully not feel lonely!
But actually I think, having a crush, and not being with them makes you feel lonelier than not having a crush and being alone.

Despite the title, I won't really be talking about the movie... or maybe I will, just a little.
If I watched this movie when I was 14 or so, I would have loved it until they dropped the bomb on who Savannah (heroine) married. But I've read I Kissed Dating Goodbye, and that self-help book written by
Joshua Harris has opened my eyes, so, so much. I was able to notice how shallow the world's 'love' could be, how there's a big danger in putting your whole life on the line of a person.
The two main-characters started a relationship after just
2 weeks of knowing each other, and this movie tells you that it is possible for that time span to give birth to "something deep."A few years of being apart, and the girl married someone else because she couldn't bear another day of being without the guy. Maybe some of you could related to that or can understand what she felt, yes, but when Christianity comes into the picture, to begin with, that first place in your heart
shouldn't be a person, or an object.
It should be God.
And though you do love your spouse very deeply, you can still bear years apart because you still have God. You still have the Being who's first in your life.
I mean, God isn't mean. He doesn't advice us to not put a human first because he wants to torture us by not letting us do what we want, but because He doesn't want us to get hurt. Humans are imperfect, they can't fulfill our deepest longing, our deepest dreams. Only He can. You see, everything God advices us to do, is for our good. Never for our downfall, or to make us suffer.
Okay, going back to the point; I was watching this show, and I was pointed to God, the opposite of how this world is, the perfect answer to everything. To confess honestly, I haven't been touching my bible due to reasons. For about 2-3 weeks, and I've been so dead. Dead as in there was no place for me to go, no place for me to put as my goal. I've been procrastinating in picking up my devotions again, but this movie was the final push for me to decide, yes, only Jesus is the Living Water. Without Him, there's nothing to keep us alive.
A funny thing how a secular movie could lead me to God. XD

Passssssed! And I want to thank God so so much for it. :) Couldn't have done it without Him, and without the prayers of my mates. Homegroup members, friends, and parents.
It was a nervous ride. The examiner wasn't so bad. Even had an incident that I dub funny when I was driving, haha. XD There was this part where I usually stop, but could also turn in if I was fast enough. Before I could press my brake, he said, "Go go go!" And when I made it, I heard him cheering, lol. I am glad that I didn't get a female examiner. Somehow, they seem more scary... *gets hit on the head*
Now I wouldn't have to skip classes for the test anymore, wouldn't have to pay the retake fee, and wouldn't have to schedule the driving lessons carefully so that they won't clash with any of my classes. Praise Thee!
