Back to the grind
Well, I'm back here, first saturday back at the school. Sitting in the Lounge, having a music war with about 20 people, and finally surrendered to my headphones. I've drank about 20 cups of tea, and eaten far too many desgusting meals. There is one new meal though, and it is AMAZING! we have REAL chicken, with SPICES on it, and curly fries. SO GOOD! haha. dang. But now that I think about it, that was a wednesday meal, and wednesday meals are better than other days, or they are supposed to be. darn.
My room mates and I have alot of fun together and get along so well. we know when to talk and when to shut up, and when to be serious and when to joke around, and its really good. The only thing is we ALL go to bed at different times and get up at different times. but its just an adjustment to having the lights on for a while when I am sleeping, no biggie. So the room is really good.
This week has been spiritually INTENSE, and I love it. I feel like I am closer to God than I have been in about 2 years. I feel like I am finally ready to be the one that draws close to god, rather than immaturely waiting on god to draw near to me... he is always near, and I just need to take that time to recognise it and draw myself closer to him. I can feel myself falling more in love with him the more I just think about it. what a good feeling.
I haven't gotten as much sleep this week as I would have liked... going to bed at 12 and waking up at 7. but I'm so tired that I'll just fall asleep while talking to Danielle.... aka listening to her. she talkes ALOT. and when I say alot I really mean all the time. she is worse than Rachel, but its alright. Its like God put Rachel in my room to prepaire me for Danielle. My other room mate Adrienne, her sister works here at the school, therefore she lives at the school with her husband and kid, and yesterday she made our room cookies. WOW! so good! I was really excited about that.
Other highlights of the week included sitting with Karen on the stairs untill 12:30 one night just chatting, the shower near our room being repaired, 'manditory room bonding time', hearing about the storm back home but not experiencing it, and seeing the familar faces and hearing about their christmases.
This next week is going to be really good. I have a test and an assignment due, as well as two book reports due the following week. so I'll be working on those pretty much all week. But I'll also make time to get into Carnforth to do the nessisary shopping to maintain my.... I don't know... snacking habits. and I'll of course spend a little too much time chatting with people. but what else do you expect from me?
well... I'm going to sign off now and get some of that work done. but first, I'll remind you that I have an email and a mailbox.
