Memory

So just thought I would share a story about how bad my memory is.

So yesterday (sunday), I forgot it was sunday and that I had to get up and go to church. I had one of my good friends ring me and wake me up to tell me why I wasn't at church yet.
So that isn't too bad, we all have those days. So i went to church in the morning and came home.
Now I usually go to church in the evening as well. I leave morning church at about 12, and then leave to go to evening service at about 3. Within the space of those three hours I forgot it was sunday again. and didnt make it to church cx

My memory is even bad with financial things. I even forgot when to report my income this week -.-

I usually had someone reminding me about church and that. It shows how bad my memory is.

Do any of you have a really bad memory?
How do you help remind yourself of dates and things?

Exam Time

So today I had my first today and just wow... I bet i'm not the only one that dislikes Exams.
Personally I find exams a waste of time, and the way they contribute to overall grades over the top.

So for my course, you have to pass your exam or you fail the course. I see this as unfair as not everybody can sit down and get a good mark on an exam. If you are one of these people that crack under pressure, or just can't get exams done. well your screwed. They offer minimal extra help to those that need it but I don't think it is enough.

I have always been for vocational training, learning on the job. I did my previous certificate as vocational training and it was the best ever thing for me. I was able to learn a broad range of skills and not only the theory or "lab" practice, I was able to implement my skills and test my knowledge in real life scenarios creating products and providing services to customers. I have learn't so much through this training instead of exams.

Although as I said above not everyone is the same, so other people may not like vocational training and instead prefer exams and "class" work. :)

Anyways, Good luck to everyone who has exams on now, recently or in the future :)


Would like to know what your opinions are on exams, leave them in the comments below,

Tanzania

So today being Sunday in Australia, I went to my church and in the announcements our new mission was revealed.

The mission involves us raising money for women and children in Tanzania, particularly for child birth.

Now I have done many studies regarding the financial divide of the worlds population and its easy to see that there is some greed in the world.

Its a bit saddening to think that the top 5% of richest people hold 80% of the worlds wealth. This is saddening as commoners (the other 95%) struggle financially in todays climate.

I'm sure if that is the right percentages someone can correct me if they want. but its something similar to that

so because of this, I was reminded of a song lyric today from "When we stand Together" by Nickelback.
"When we can feed a starving world with what we throw away"

It makes me think of the ways we could help the less fortunate, I won't tell which ways but it is a very strong sentence and maybe it will make you ponder?

What are your thoughts on the financial divide?

If you have any questions for me, again leave them in the comments :)

Study Procrastination

So at the moment I'm studying for my mid-year exams, the first of which is in 4 days... yikes

and i have this problem that whenever i sit down to study and organise my cheatsheets etc. i end up doing something else. Checking emails/facebook, doing website stuff for we are red panda, playing games or helping friends.

I procrastinate so much that i get bored of procrastinating but instead of studying i sit on my chair and do nothing at all.

I usually try to study for an hour and then chill for an hour. Most of the time it works but sometimes it doesnt

Do any of you suffer from procrastination?
What do you to get over it and do what needs doing?

Again, if you have any questions leave them in the comments below and i'll try to answer them :)

So I'm going to use this blog as a way to share around my thoughts and projects I'm working on.

As I am a christian, some biblely stuff may pop up here and there but most of my posts will properly be about my Journey through Uni (Im currently studying Software Engineering) and my leadership journey.

Hope that by reading this you gain some insight and ideas, if you have any questions leave them in the comments and i'll try to answer them :)
