I hate to say this, but: it sucks to be second best. 

I saw it on the faces of the silver medalists, and I saw it today. Second best really hurts. 

On another note - school's out. It's been an incredible journey. From actually getting to the school (and giving up Cheltenham), to everything I've learnt, seen and been part of. The people I've met - friends and teachers, my classes, tutor groups, lunches and cell. It's just been an amazing, amazing journey. Jesus has always, always been working a great work whilst I've been there, and because of Him, I've never been nor will have to settle for second best.

 I know SJII is just a little bit of what He's doing in my life, and it really complemented my transition to the gospel of Grace. My God is a big picture God and He's never been one to sweat the small stuff.

My tiny little human heart and mind may never understand, but I know He knows what He's doing, and SJII has just been fantastic. There's a teacher (many really) I've had here who has been so influential on my life - and he has no idea how much I owe (and will owe) him. But the people, experiences and just everything I've met and done. It's been bloody fantastic - and y'know, God has been so so good, and His goodness ain't going to stop there.

3 weeks to the exams; study hard - I'm pretty excited. 

Be blessed!
