Terracotta warriors and mundane school life.

Just came back from the Ancient civilisations museum. It was part of our "Mother tongue fortnight" programme to view the terracotta warriors exhibition. IT was cool but it would have been better if we did not have that little time.I kinda liked the atmosphere of the museum. All dark and grand at the same time. Reminds me of night at the museum movie :))
I think I was like a lost sheep most of the time. There were just too many people. I feel kinda bad for the tourists :S Then I saw a mother trying to explain to a 4-5 year old kid about the unification of China, I couldn't really tell if the kid was looking awed or confused . heh :)

School was honestly quite boring today. Nothing much really happened. Lots of food sales going on in the canteen though, by 1SE, debate, PSG etc. Bought some fruit salad from debate and tried fresh blueberries for the first time :P Also got to try some of their apricot muffins, Which were really quite good :D
We also got our EOY exam timetable today. How depressing. But at least its easier to draw out and conduct the study plans with a proper timetable.

Despite it being a really ordinary,mundane day, I realised something big today --  how we often forget to count our blessings.I can list 1001 instances which I forget to count my blessings.  If  are having lots of good things, we are blessed with them. IF we don't have some things, its probably not because of bad luck. Its just that the blessings come later, or maybe they have come in another form, another way.




                                         "...We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
                                                And all the while, You hear each spoken need
                                             Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things..."
