So much has happened in my life recently that I thought I should probably make a numerical list.

1. My friend Louise shaved my hair off and I shaved my sideburns off. But it's ok, because she took a photo first.

2. Louise's boyfriend, my friend Chris, helped me make the photo look really cool.

3. This meant that I stayed up late. Oops.

4. Because I was up late, I also started writing a New Song about a lady who was born in 1820. I hope it will be a big hit.

5. I prayed for help with my hope to be a help to other medical students through creative learning. Then, right, this idea popped into my head when I was cycling. How about a competition!!! So I sent an email.

6. I also wrote a letter to someone in Rwanda. The capital of Rwanda is Kigali, which is 4153.63 miles away.*

7. I saw this other guy's blog and it made me feel sad because his looks so much cooler. It even has maps on it!!! But then my friend Dave said that he thought mine was cool too. Then I felt better.

8. My friend Dave got a girlfriend. The percentage of bachelors in my house is down 20%.

9. I read this bit in the Bible which talks about letting God's Holy Spirit be in charge. I suppose, in a way, that means 'go with the flo.' However, there are two flows, to and fro. Both I know: one shows itself a foe, the other helps your love to grow. Which is important.

"With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's! So don't you see that we don't owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go! This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next, Papa?" God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children." from a letter written to the Christians in Rome by St Paul back in the first century A.D. (ages ago)

10. I had sausages and chips and spaghetti for tea.
