Summer Summary

So, I have this friend who went to Japan and then China.

She wanted a full update off what I've done this summer, but apparently my blog is blocked in china..? so I had to email her a summary. It was also a response to her email so theres a couple other things too. xP

"blocked from china..?!? That's random.....

So, this summer, starting from the last week of June. So, I go to church and everything, so like I go to the Youth group and stuff, but now that I've graduated I get to go to the Young Adults (University Students) group. And during the summer I get to go to both. Also during the summer there are prayer meetings every week instead of only at the end of every month. Also in August I'm going on a missions trip to Brooklyn to help at a Vacation Bible School, so I've been reading more and doing more studies and memorizing more and praying more and stuff, so ya. That's been cool.

So, ya. Now that I've graduated and I havn't really seen anyone, I've been hanging out with the University guys. The last week of June he had something planned like every night, but I had work and softball and stuff, so I couldn't go, so I was going to tell my boss I didn't want to work night shifts anymore.

When I went to work to tell him, I found he was on vacation and the next two week's schedule was up. I had like 10/14 nights working... >.> I was kinda more upset then I should have been about that...

So I worked. A Lot. I even switched some shifts so that I could go to YA and YF, so I was working like 4-11 Fridays and 7-3 mornings on Saturday for two weeks.... xP

I told my boss I wanted to work a bit less. I was actually just working a lot because a guy quit, a guy was on vacations and we actually did need another guy to begin with...

During those two weeks, my friend decided he was moving out next year and I kinda wanted to too, so we began looking for a place.

I then realized how much it would cost and how I'd have to work and study and stuff. I should work as much as I can during the summer! Oops... I told my boss I wanted to work less... xP

I already have 2 months rent saved. and if I keep my scholarship I have enough saved for tuition already. I think its gonna be fun to live on my own (well, with 4 other guys, but still, not with my parents / brother) I'll get to shop for my own food, cook my own food, actually do my own chores and stuff.

So, ya we found this place on Woodroofe. It was cool, the other 3 guys were cool, but like, it's twice as far from Carleton as my house already is, and we'd have to take 2 buses to get to carleton...

The other place was this guy from church's house. It's behind the Farmboy on Merivale, so it's not that far and I can keep my jobs, if I want to. I kinda want a new job though... I've been there 2 years and I only make 15 cents more then minimum... And my other job is barely a job... While I'm at the courts I've just been reading. It's like 3 hours each week and there's almost nothing to do.

Ya. Today, just because I was thinking about them, I spent most of my day making cabbage rolls. lol... I had to go buy stuff, I had to cook it. In fact, it's still cooking. xP Half an hour left... I got the recipe from here: http://www.soscuisine.com/en/recipes/view/cabbage-rolls?sos_l=en&gpr_id=9432 and only changed it minimally because I had extra beef. I got like 784 grams or something. When I put it in to bake it looked tasty. Hehe. I burned some of it... I think the garlic got a little burned, and some of the beef got burned to the bottom of the pot, but I just didn't use the burned bit.

Ya... I don't really know how to cook, but I want to, so this was fun. xP It smells good. I'm actually in the kitchen as I'm typing this. I brought my laptop with the website up into the kitchen... xP Tomato juice is dripping out of the baking pan though, so that its going to burn in the oven... >.> I put too much in I guess.....

So, ya... I think I might get my G1 soon. xP maybe... I'm trying to make my friend get his at the same time, but he keeps procrastinating and stuff... His older sister (20*) doesn't have her G1 either and neither does my brother (16) so we kinda want to get them before our siblings do.

You should watch Pale Cocoon, Shinigami no Ballad, Howl's Moving Castle and Eve no Jikan. xP (OVA, 6 episodes, movie and 6 half-length episodes respectively)

Ya. Now... the cabbage rolls were good and I'll upload photos... Hehe. But I kinda sprained my ankle playing tennis, I think, and so I'm going to sleep now....

Today's bible study was cool.

"Hey AL. I don't like spraining ankles / wrists... It happens far too often. I don't have a girlfriend, but RL says Eclipse was a baaaad movie. xP"
