Summer reflection

As I went to mass at 7 AM this past Sunday, I suddenly realized on how much I appreciate the mass more that day. Is it because I was not in the anxiety-ridden mode where it seems that the world would collapse if I don't spend another hour to study? Maybe. It may just be because it's the day that the Lord has made, the day when finally that oasis of reassurance flow back up again.

Reflecting back, I didn't know what was it that drove me to my limit last semester. My grade were not the best for sure, but I am still considered to be pass-able for my qualifying exam this upcoming August. My research went as planned. My TA experience has proven to be the highlight of my semester with me learning and also passing the baton of knowledge that builds up the core of my research into the students.

But after all, I can only be rest assured by this saying:

"Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love, and the future to God’s providence" St. Augustine
