study

My next series of posts will be very study related I think. I have now begun back at uni, learning about ethics, chronic diseases, impaired body function and wound healing as well as much more.
It has been great to get back into study, to have some structure and direction and purpose again.
The study itself has also begun well, with several new lecturers. My new main lecturer is really a key to my happiness here. He is the best teacher that I have ever had. He is open, honest, and straightforward, with a great, involving teaching style, and a good sense of humor. Hes got an interesting accent, from the Caribbean which is cool, but himself studied in the UK. He has a Dutch father, so maybe that is where his humor is from. :D
Besides all that happening, I also saw a good friend again the other day. I met D (practicing confidentiality) at a camp and soon afterwards got his number. Ever since, for over a year we have stayed in contact by text messaging. (I wonder how much people spend on others in that way.) Going for over a year without seeing someone can be totally fine, but then it hurts when you finally see each other and then have to leave again. The only thing you can do about it is to remember that God keeps all His children in His care, like the sparrows in the field. This, and praying that perhaps you may meet again soon. Back to the story, I was going to meet him and his friend, but didn't see them, so I left again later. I was just back at the beginning and he contacts me that he has arrived, right where I was. So, back down I go, but he had to drop off his friend first. I am grateful that he took the effort to come back again from dropping off his friend so that we could have a bit of a chat. Now, for a while again, we are more than just a friendly finger on the other side of the phone. How long will it last? I don't know, that is what I am paining about.
After writing all of that, I realized that I had seen him about halfway through the year on a Sunday morning for about half an hour or so. It just doesn't seem to count.
Such is the problem with me. I make friends with far away people and then agonize over never seeing them. Just like two other Ds in my life and several other people.
No matter, thank God for the internet (truly, not blaspheming here).
Hope you all do well. Don't forget to leave a comment. I love them!!!
