Things can go by pretty fast this time of year
I’m not sure about everyone else, but for me getting started on something is always the hardest part. Whether that’s getting started on an assignment, starting out on cooking a meal (something that I’m really only starting to do this year), or simply getting out of bed in the morning. What I’m talking about at the moment however, is the monumental task of starting out in a new year.

In NCS alone, we’re only halfway through week one and already we’ve had the NCS leaders conference, kickoff and O’Week. Still to come and indeed, coming up fast are the NCS Big Day Out,welcome dinners the entire programme of Bible talks, small groups, prayer breakfasts and TNT sessions. For myself added into this is the whole other factor of no longer being on campus, and instead living in beautiful Wallsend. This means that not only am I cooking for myself (reason enough for crippling fear), but that also what used to be a 10 minute walk to class has now turned into a 20 minute bike trek.

What gives me hope is that everything gets easier when the routine sets in. Before long I will be used to peddling into Uni every day. I’ll be used to having to make up time between classes rather than walking home. I’ll be used to cooking for myself and I’ll be used to my timetable as a whole. Not only will I be used to it, but I will enjoy it. I will enjoy it because when it all boils down to it, I really love being a student, I love living in Wallsend and I love being a part of this group we call Newcastle Christian Students.
It’s just the getting going part that I don’t love…
