So here I am, having started at uni a bit more than two weeks ago. After all the introductory stuff is done and we actually start learning/studying, things are becoming more tense, more interesting, more demanding – and I somehow became more effective. And that’s actually what astonished me most, but it seems the less time I have the more effective I use it. Great.
After a lot of idling during the first week I got myself some more things to do and attend on a regular basis, and today after 12 hours of lessons I feel really good indeed. I do like studying (and I hope I keep doing so). But not only that. Cooking (and deciding what to, a lot of experience to gather still…), hanging out with flatmates, getting orientation in a new city, meeting and getting to know people from all over the place (again !!), learning about their take or world-view, seeing what’s on and figuring out how to make everything work and fit is fun – so far. Oh, and being responsible for my own decisions 
It is yet to be seen if I got myself to much to do as an overreaction to the first week of idling. So there’s one thing I am learning to do constantly right now: try and error – and not being afraid of making mistakes or making the ‘suboptimal’ decision. Because my God is able to use my weakness (2 Cor 12:9). I need to seek Him in everything I do, because apart from Him I can do nothing (John 15:5). And he promised that we shall find Him when (not if) we seek Him with all our heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
And that (seeking with all my heart) is not easier here, because here there’s not as many people to check on me. Gotta fight the ‘weaker self’ and learn discipline.
