A rumour has recently been propagated by some of my comrades (I’m learning Russian ^__^) that I am popular. Let’s just clarify something:

One thing is true: I have made new friends. This had nothing to do with me though, mark my words. OK, so it may have had something to do with my unicycle, but there is more than that. Apart from Steve, who’s never around outside of lessons, none of the people I used to hang around with in St. Peter’s have gone to SFC. My old friendship group is not there, so I am thankful to God that I have been able to make a few friends, else I’d be a complete loner.

Most of my friends are in some way associated with the CU. I was really blessed, because on about the third day thewre, I was sitting on my own eating dinner like I have done every day for years, and someone in the second year, Steve, asked if I wanted to play cards. Shortly after, I discovered he was in the CU. He was the only male person in the CU out of 1600 people in the college, so it really was a fantastic blessing that he made friends with me.

Most of my friends are either in the CU, or friends of people in the CU, although I have made a few other friends as well, but that’s because somehow I’ve changed since high school and now, miraculously, have the guts to start conversations with people… Although this is usually after a 15 minute debate with myself, which I always lose. I have prayed about this, so it’s not a surprise, but I really am thankful to God that he’s getting rid of some of my initial shyness. I hope it doesn’t all go though, because of what the bible says about fools shutting up and being considered wise.

Thank you for your time. Good bye
