University of life

I keep checking my email

but the results are not there yet

The long weekend will mean I have to wait

I did my best, I answered the questions given

Even the ones I didn’t fully understand

My answers seemed so rushed

That deadline came so quickly

My skin became quite prickly

Anxiety made me sickly

Just staring at my screen

For hours, my fingers on the keyboard so still

The words failed to flow

But right towards the limit

I just started to write with excitement

And there before me was a complete assignment

Referenced and all

It was less joy and more relief

But in the end there’s still the belief

That maybe, somehow

I actually did quite well

It’s hard waiting

But anticipation growing

These seeds of ambition I’m sowing

That soon this learning journey

Will shake off all the worry

Of making mistakes

I don’t yet know what it takes

But each day a little closer

To donning those gowns

And knowing why I’ve started this

To seeing this through

To a certain degree…

——————————-

Well the results came back

And it seems that all that concern

The days of being uneasy

Were all unfounded

The result I was desiring

Was there in front of me

Much better than I feared

In fact even better than I had dreamt..

Onto the next one

With more confidence

I’m working hard

And as I go I’m learning

To keep on yearning

For more from myself

————————————

Result of my third assignment came through yesterday

Slightly lower mark than previously

But I shouldn’t be disappointed

I put so much pressure on myself

Seeking perfection

When all I need is direction

To the way to proceed

Longing for Gods lead

And I find that He walks beside me in this journey

Through studies

Through learning

Through this new season

One lesson at a time

But even when I can’t hear Him

I am reminded that

The teacher is always silent during the test
