Summary of the week

wow, it has been almost a week that i didn't post anything...
Sometime i do feel lazy to write...haha =p

This week i already started my classes....
It's quite different from M'sia...
The very first thing that i found out was, the lecturer and students is very very punctual...
Lecturer will never ever late for class...they will be in class 5-10 minutes earlier, and they start class exactly on time, no delay....
And the student over here also very punctual...it's hard to find student who late for class over here....
Besides lecture start on time, the class also end on time...
No one minutes delay of dismiss the class...
One funny thing i found out was, in one of the class, the lecture time is about to end, but the lecturer keep talking, he did not know the time. While i'm paying attention on the lecture,suddenly the sound of student start to packing their stuff filled the whole class, n i was curious,"wat happen?" then i looked up the clock... Oppsss...is time to end the class. The lecturer didnt stop talking n the student already ready to leave...although the lecturer did not finish the outline, but he had to dismiss the class. without delay....I found this was very interesting...It's will never happen in M'sia, i guess..haha
But, i have a hard time to be on time, because i used to Malaysia't time already..used to late for 5-10 minutes and is fine, coz lecture hvt start yet... right now, i have to be really really on time....
It's a good thing to be punctual. ^^

Besides that, when i received all my syllabus, i want to faint already...almost every week have paper due, exam and quizzes...and i have to study everyday, i cant study last minutes where i used to do that in M'sia...
Here, u have to be consistent, if not, u going to fail the subject...one subject have at least 4 exam, and 4-5 pop quiz...somemore u have to write reaction paper or project.....wah, the work load is a lot....

In addition, i went to REC center almost everyday....to tough up myself...haha
It's hard to sweat  in winter time...
But at least i got exercise...i think right now i m healthier than when i m in M'sia...haha
the sad thing is, the meal plan that i take is nt good...
they over cooked the vege...the food over here is high in calories and is very very sweet.....
I miss Nasi pattaya and my mum's cooking.....

And today ( sun) i went to REC to play badminton too....
The "coach" almost killed me...
we had fun time over there....


The highlight of today was, i went to Ps. Bruce house. He and his family blessed us lunch...
I had a good talk with him....He brought up the issues of Christianity and Psychology and how the nation is far away from God, we also talked about homosexuality, and divorce. He also encouraged me to attend the class that is useful for a psy student. If i not mistaken is about Spiritual healing.... i think is useful for my course..looking forward for that. ^^
From the conversation that i had with Ps. Bruce, i felt that there is a reason God place me here in US, in Carbondale , in this church, surround with brothers and sisters...
In US, psychology and spiritual is never come into one line, in psy, spiritual is kind of like taboo....
And i strongly feel that I have to do smtg with the degree that i pursing right now, there is something god want me to do....bring Christianity and psychology together..that's what i feel right now...
I now it's hard to do that....but i will pray, need wisdom from Him....
For example the homosexuality issue. As a psychology student, u have to be neutral, and sometimes u have to agree that it's normal for a person who is homosexual.
But, in the Bible, homosexuality is a sin. then if i m a counselor or clinical psychologist, what should i do?
Should i bring Christianity in, allow Jesus to change the client or i have to accept who he/she is and help he/she to face the community? what should i do?
I think, that's one of the reason  i m here...It will be a long journey....
pray that He will give me wisdom to handle it.......
