Another week gone...

Wow, Sitting here, in my room with my roommates, all replying to emails sent to them has made me think about comming home, and communicating with people. Leaving the country makes you really know who is your real friends.
Anyways..... This last week has been... quite usual, if I was to put a word to it.
I threw up for the first time in 14 years, becasue of my anti-malaria medication, and then stopped taking it altogether.... I'm tired of feeling sick and nausious all the time... and I figure either I'll get malaria or I won't, and I'll just deal with it when and if the time comes.
I walked into carnforth for the first time with two of my room mates, had an awesome time, and got an unreal amount of blisters on my feet.
I had to say goodbye to Jeremy, when he left to head home for Canada. That made me sad, cause I don' know the next time I'll see him, but we had a great time together! I miss him alot already, and am looking forward to seeing him next!
I went on many night walks, and admired the stars here in England. I told a few people about the Northern Lights, and really realized that I have taken them for granted, and miss them quite alot... as wierd as that is.
Lectures this week were amazing, well... one of the lecturers was amazing. His name was Peter Reid, and he is the Director of Bodenseehof- the German Torchbearer's School. He was so passionate and emotional, and it was just really good. He spoke on the book of Joshua. We also had a return guest- Graham Stanford, who lectured during winter school and is known for his terrible grammer and an accent so thick that even some english students can't understand him! He Lectured on Ephesians, and as usual went off on far too many tangents and random stories.
I guess in General this week was a really good week. The sun shone all week. Today was cloudy, but to be honest, I'm kinda craving a rainy day. I miss the typical english weather. but its alright.
I don't really know what next week holds for me. more of the same, I guess. nothing exciting that I'm aware of.
I truely hope that the cliques here at school get less..... exclusive. There are deffinate groups, adn its hard to get into one, so sadly, I am exclusively part of the winter school group, and trying so hard to befriend some of the new kids, but its not working so well. I don't know what I think of this new envirionment. But I'll get over it, and still smile and say hello to the new kids.
Anyways, this has already gotten too long.
I hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all so much! I'm so excited to come home and see you all!
With Love,
Laurel
