Going back to church was a breath of fresh air. They (finally) sang the songs I knew (except the one at communion, but then no one really sings at communion)! and the homily was about commitment. Basically, Father Vas' message was about how our "suffering" now, ie, all the things that we don't want to do but have to are a sign of our commitment.

And it gave me new strength to carry on with everything. all the work, even though all i really want to do is plop myself in front of the TV and watch Ellen all day. all the work even if i know I'll be happy even if I don't do very well for my A levels. All this means I haven't given up, and therefore there's still reason to carry on!

Onward.
