To math or not to math

J U LY 21st 
I'm blogging everyday for the month of July, sharing what I learn about what it means to be a steward of time. Time is so precious. This series is a personal experiment where I hope to get a better look into where I invest my time, and how I can better shape my life to serve God through my actions, words, and priorities. Look up the tag "July series" to view each post. 

Productivity:
Going to a review Calculus class this morning 
Copious amounts of math review for Thursday's midterm. That white board gets some serious love. 

Rest & Enjoyment:
Watching an episode of Father Brown with my family. We love our British mystery series. 
Having a delicious dinner of tomato and feta soup with my family and some great conversation. 
Reading Never Give Up by Joyce Meyer 

Take aways: 
If you have been following this series for a few days or weeks now, you may have noticed a very repetitive theme: math, math and more math. Now, let me clarify something. This math-centered lifestyle is not normal for me, haha! I promise, my days are usually filled with activities other than integrals and fancy algebra. When I sat down to write this post I thought to myself, "Do people really want to hear about how I spent most of the day studying?" Well, I promised myself from the beginning of this series to be honest, to be truthful, and to not fabricate activities to try and make myself look good.

This math filled time of my life is not forever. In just a few weeks I will be forever free of having to take another calculus class. I'll be able to paint more, read more, and spend more time with my family and friends. Seasons of life can be challenging, but I want to always remember that they are just that, challenging seasons, and they too shall pass. 

Much love, Vivi

Why, hello!


HI! Wow, it's been a while. This semester has been one of the fullest, most enriching times of my life. I have learnt so much that, at times, my brain felt as if it were going to explode. Thankfully, it didn't. In fact, my brain is at last taking a deep breath now that my last exam is in the past. I wanted to share a few tiny glimpses of the past few weeks. Here's what I have been up to.. 
Two scenes of my University campus: the left was taken from the library and the right was taken one very early morning while, um, walking to the library.. (Haha, I might spend a lot of my time in there).



It wouldn't be a complete update without showing you what I've been eating, now would it? ;) Smoothies and black bean brownies. Brain food, people.
Not pictured: copious amounts of notes, textbooks, and practice questions. Ahh, university. 

 Stay tuned for the beginnings of winter posts... :) 

Much love, Vivi
