Having already read about Aquinas' Five Ways I was able to rush through last week's work which probably wasn't the best idea because it means I haven't looked at it since about Monday. I'm enjoying book 2 so far though - given me a new insight on religion as I didn't really understand that different religions refer to more or less the same God, it's just the relationship between them and God that separates them. I think that says a lot about religious intolerance today. If each religion fundamentally agrees on something, there shouldn't be any need for conflict. Shame it's never that simple.
This week my life was even more consumed than normal by my project to secure coffee machines for 6th years - began with a petition which accumulated about 70 signatures, I then organised a bake sale to raise the money and has now developed into an honesty box dependent, profit-making system of tassimo machines. Going by how much money we made from cheaply priced hot drinks in just two days, we'll eventually have more money than we know what to do with.
But that's sorted and I've written about it now so I can finally shut up about it!
Gave blood for the first time ever on wednesday! Got to hold the bag of it in my own hand which was strange but somehow very cool. For future reference I'll have to remember that a day later you feel good as new - was back learning handstands and muscle ups the very next day, so no excuses! Anyone reading this, please please please give blood and sign up to be an organ donor!
This next week will be the last proper week of drama rehearsals for our performance of Joseph in which I am Joseph (not necessarily by choice). I'm feeling better about my own role now so the fear is subsiding but will undoubtedly come back soon enough.
All my commitments this year - OU, RASASH volunteering, Uni applications, SQA subjects, learning to drive, sports, music practice, drama, head boy duties (hoodies, assemblies etc), and anything else that I can't remember off the top of my head - will at different times take up more or less time and at times be more hectic and concentrated than others, like in one of Aquinas' five ways with things coming in and out of existence. Stress levels will vary but I'm surviving so far!
Patiently waiting for my results from TMA 01. Fingers crossed!
Long post today... That'll do for this week!
(UPDATE 08/11/2015: results are in and I got 77. Hopefully not bad for a first assignment!)
tl;dr: life is busy
