Ok, so a lot of the time I just tell you random things that happen in my life. I will also let you know more about what my professors are like in this post.
To begin with, me and SM went sharing on campus again. We started off in the food court (which is where I went sharing for the first time with SS!) We ended up meeting D(?) and having a really great conversation. His mom used to go to church, but after a fight with his dad, she went less often or something and just he has only been to church for like Easter and Christmas. He is a criminal law student and he is really passionate about justice. He wouldn't want to be condemning innocent people or defending those who are guilty.
We got to talking about our craving for justice and how God can satisfy our craving. Jesus took all of the injustice to bring us life and pay for our mistakes and we know that God will in the end bring each of us to judgement, but human law doesn't satisfy. He was really interested. We got to talking about the gospel, and it seemed a little odd to us that he hadn't really heard it before. He had to go write a last minute paper, but he asked for contact information, which is awesome.
We also got to talk with M(?), which was brought about partially because me and SM were talking about wearing cross necklaces, which he was. He has a Catholic background, but isn't practicing, and is even pretty much agnostic now. When we were talking to him, he was saying how he believed God is imperfect just like us, that perfection is found in imperfection. There is definitely beauty in the imperfect, we have been made in his image, but God's wrath was always righteous, not on a whim. God is perfect, if he wasn't, we wouldn't worship him.
Anyways, we got to talking about his cross necklace and it was apparently more for sentimental value given to him by a friend. He just always wears it. He actually forgot he was wearing it when I asked. lol. Then I got to tell him about my bracelet and how it also has meaning. How the gold string means that we were created in the image of God as perfect and holy, but as the dark string explains, we have all fallen away and become sinful people, separated from God and His love for us. But there is nothing we could/can do by our power to bridge the gap. But out of God's great love for us, he sent his only Son to die for our sins. The red string represents His blood that has been poured out for us. God sent His son to die on the cross for us. For you and me. So that our sins could be payed for. The sins which separated us have been forgiven and paid for. So in God's sight we are white as snow, which is what the clean string represents. Finally the green string represents our growing relationship with God. When we accept Jesus as our savior, our relationship as God's children is reestablished and eternal life begins.
Ya. We got to talk for a little while after that. We found out a bit about him and his past jobs and what he's into. It turns out we have some mutual friends and we're actually both in Raven's log and CUJA. lol. >.> Ya, so I'll be seeing him around I guess. xP
Ya, so.
My plant bio prof. He's pretty crazy. lol.
http://science.carleton.ca/news/11/one-faculty-members-commute-work-first-snowy-day-ottawa
Yep. That's my crazy Bio prof that canoes to work, wears a sweater, leg warmers and nothing on his feet while speaking, can't use clicker technology, doesn't have definitive answers for questions, has a large grey beard and often talks about plants that drugs are made from in class. He's pretty weird. We went to the greenhouses today after class on a field trip. lol
He's pretty weird. He talked for over a week about Maple Syrup. He asked us to bring knives to class so that we could cut a beet and see the multiple vascular cambia. He has described pollen in a very odd way when we were talking about 'plant sex'. He described pollen as 'detachable penises' >.> Sorry if that's too much to handle. It's a really weird class. xP
Ya.

Time Management.
So, yesterday.
As usual I had a ton of things scheduled. I actually finished my organic chemistry prelab the night before, so I didn't have any really urgent school work to do. xP
I bussed to school. That was awkward. It was (at least according to a group on facebook) 'sing on the bus day'. I was so excited to get on the bus and just have everyone singing. Did not happen... and I didn't want to be the only person singing... and I hadn't really prepared anything... So I was like singing really quietly............... awkward.
Physical chemistry lecture. boring.
Then I was supposed to meet up with LT for our one on one discipling time. Class had ended a bit early and LT is often a bit late, so I figured that I had time to go heat up my leftovers for lunch. It was like stir-fried vegetables and clam chowder on rice. Mmm. Ya. He arrived and we continued to try and set goals for the year. I am bad at sitting down and setting goals. Like, I see the purpose of goals, but I am terrible at setting them non-spontaneously. I say non-spontaneously because I do set goals based off of experiences and what is happening and what I want to happen.
Like, ya, so, this week was supposed to be 'the swan dive' and so I made myself available to the best of my ability for the other first year guys and stuff. I offered multiple time slots everyday of the week and told them to message me if they were able to / wanted to go with me. I did not hear back from anyone. The only time I went sharing was when me and LT ran into DP and so we went. So, I set a goal. Instead of them coming to me, which they still can, I will actively pursue them and (here's the goal) go sharing with each of the other guys in C4C by the end of the year. If that means 20 or so guys, let's go. We've got like 13 weeks next semester and a week left or so. That's plenty of time. xP (especially with only 3 labs next semester. yuss.)
Ya. So, I guess (if you can't tell) I have a lot of issues with time management, but I guess I don't really associate them with so called 'spiritual growth' goals. I guess I have in my mind divided how I live and treat myself from my relationship with God..? That, that's not really good. He is Lord of all. My life should reflect that and ya, every aspect should be worship to him. So, I guess LT challenged me to do something about my time management.
The challenge: Write down what I spend my time on for a week (or two..?) while also getting 7 hours of sleep each day (or trying to).
So, you know. I really want to do this, I suppose. I mean, it's something I really need to work on and so I want to be committed to it. So, to make sure I am committed to it I bought a notebook, a pocket-sized notebook. But not even one of those dollar store ones that I can just throw away or whatever. I bought a set of two mini Moleskine notebooks. Now I am committed. I didn't buy them just because of all the hype behind moleskines, but also because they were the smallest notebooks I could find in the bookstore and that they were expensive... T.T I am not one to buy unnessecary things, especially expensive ones. It was 8$. I am committed. lol.
So, ya. Let's see how that goes. I'm trying, like, down to the minute, but not quite that intense. Just like whenever the focus switches. I'll do a bunch of analysis later. (I like data analysis =D)
Yup. Then I got to meet up with KC again. I'm really glad I get to spend time with him and that we get to spend time reading the Bible and ya, to spend time thinking about these things. We read John 2 and did a lesson on growth and the essentialness of prayer and reading the Bible and obedience in growth. So, this week we are going to read the Bible daily before bed and hold each other accountable. He had to go to work, but it was another great meeting. I can't wait until our lesson on prayer. xP. I really want to see him praying passionately.
Umm. Organic chem lab. We watched clear liquid go from one point to another really slowly by evaporating and condensing like a million times. >.> Kinda boring, but we know what our liquids were! =D (which is the point of the experiment. Separating two liquids and determining which they were by testing them.)
Then me and NF went to Story of the Soul (after a brief chat with MC who played on worship team with NF at Getaway two years ago!). SotS was good. We watched a couple movie clips, looked at a painting and heard CW's testimony of hope in a difficult time. and JXW came! =D (even though the O-train broke down... >.>) Ya. There were a bunch of people there (I haven't heard an official count yet though. I counted 45 at the end, but people may have already left at that point).
Ya. Then 11 of us went to bubbletea in China town and played Apples to Apples in My Sweet Tea. lol. So fun. AG is hilarious and I think a lot of us hadn't actually had dinner, just sugary baked goods at SotS and bubbletea. lol.
Ya. I need to change. I don't want to be the one that makes you cry, but rather the one you can cry on.
I talked with CW for like half an hour before going to sleep. xP. I really wanted to do that like everyday the way me and DP did in EA. It's one thing I think good roommates should do. xP
Ya.
Ttyl. I've got to do my Phys chem lab now since I have work at 2... >.>

PS. DS's baptism tomorrow!!!!!!! So exciting!

A late lunch
Hey guys!
Yesterday was pretty jam-packed with stuff. Phys Chem lecture, Discipleship meeting with LT, Discipleing with KC, organic chem lab, weekly meeting, and 'You had me at Bacon 2'. That is what was planned for yesterday and it mostly played out as expected, well I don't know. I didn't really expect some things either. lol
Phys chem. whatever. (lol... it's almost done. =P)
Now for Discipleship with LT I was supposed to have arranged something, sharing with a club leader or one of my friends or something. I was also supposed to have finished thinking about my goals for growing spiritually this year and starting to plan for how that can be done. I kinda lost the sheets and I didn't have time to work on it... So instead we just had a time of quiet reflection on a passage in the Bible. I read some of what I was reading earlier and it was so cool. I will post it in a separate post because it's pretty long. lol. [Click here! lol.] After that we talked about how we can reach out to clubs on campus and meet them where they are at. LT had talked to a leader of a humans rights club and he was really interested. Anyways, I sent facebook messages to the 'leaders' of M22 to see if we could meet up next week and discuss a collaborative event in January (the one about human trafficking) and they are all interested in meeting up, they are even going to talk to others and see if they want to meet up too. So, ya. I need to pray for those meetings and God working in their lives and me and LT sharing the gospel with four groups of possible like 1-6 people.
Next was a meeting with KC. I was a bit late, but it was a great meeting. KC seems really happy every time we meet. We read John 1 first (I had intended that we read 1 John 1, but this is cool too. We ended up reading 1 John later anyways. lol.) Then we went through the old-school version of the Spirit-filled life booklet. There is a lot of reading in that booklet, which is awesome. We read like a part of like half the books in the new testament. Our meeting was really great, but also a bit long. lol I had to run off to my orgo lab. I really want to see God strongly change KC and see him praying aloud with a passion.
The lab was really boring. lol. we dissolved cholesterone in ethanol then cooled it and filtered it.... lol.
I finally had my lunch at like 4:30 and watched Naruto and Shakugan no Shana 3 (which I am not telling NC about. lol.)
Then it was weekly meeting and we went through how to share again, but with more depth. Like, the Knowing God Personally booklets are cool, but they also leave a lot of room for elaboration and interactivity, so that was cool.
Then we went to RM's house for the C4C guys' night 'You had me at Bacon 2'. There was a lot of meat. lol. The chilli was awesome and the nachos were the best. lol. LT shared with us about what it means to be a man and how Jesus was not a feminine man. Authenticity, Servanthood and Initiative.
Then I got a drive home to go to sleep for 6 hours. xP
Ttyl.

Starting Somewhere
Yo. So. Did I tell you about yesterday..? I don't remember. It is doubtful... Actually I think I did..? Or maybe that was just a text message. >.>
Ya. It was a text. lol...
Wednesday wasn't the best.
I guess I realized again how prideful I am. I ended up selfishly trusting in my knowledge of phys chem and on the equation sheet I hadn't even really spent time on... I feel confident in my not so great mark on that midterm. ya. I was feeling really crummy the rest of the day I think, except that I got to play badminton with SC and JJ eventually/breifly. xP Ya. SC says I'm way better in front when I'm mad at phys chem. >.> My whole body is sore from yesterday. xP
Umm. I didn't do much. I think I met JXW's Malaysian biochem lab partner. I couldn't quite guess which ethnicity he was... I had narrowed it down to Hong Kong or Korean, but I wasn't really confident in that guess. It was mainly his accent and face that pointed me to Hong Kong. I realized afterwards that basically every Malaysian I know has been in Canada for a very long time and goes to my church.
I ended up leading a prayer meeting. RM kinda trained me..? I have some papers to read over, but ya, we prayed for Cambodia. MM and his family are over there right now working with Mercy Medical Center and New Life Fellowship and they are seeing God do great things.
Ya. So yesterday night I did some work on my biochem lab, well actually I stayed up until 3am doing it. This was after going to my parent's and buying groceries and talking to JH. I'm praying for him. My housemates enjoy talking a lot. Often about things I don't talk about. Seriously DK..? >.<
Ya. I figured it was a way better idea to work on my lab before today rather than not. At the same time, I know that I cannot wake up early, so I decided that since CW wakes up at 8:15 I would stay awake working on it until 3 and a bit so that I get 5 hours, not more, and then get back to it before class at 10. The plan worked pretty well.
Ethers are fun to learn about. xP. Then I finished up my lab with JXW. AG wasn't feeling well today so our language exchange meeting was postponed. Today was our last biochem lab, which is sad because I haven't had much time to speak with TZ and that's like the only place I see him. The prayer meeting was awesome. So many people praying to see God work on campus and for the students to realize that God loves them and is calling them back to him. Stats was ok. I met this one guy and we talked on the bus ride home, which was cool.
JS convinced me to go to YA and I got to see RL! Yay! I miss him... text conversations leave something to be desired when you haven't seen someone for a long time.
Ummm. So ya. This morning I stumbled briefly on a bit of sin, but I was so set on sharing the gospel with JXW today that I was like 'screw you sin. you can't hold me down.' and I just asked God to forgive me and that was that. Through Jesus we have been freed from our slavery to sin. In him we have victory over sin and death. If that is what Spiritual breathing is, then I want to keep feeling this victory over sin.
Umm. Ya. Two events in the near future. The first being Story of the Soul: Hope, which I am super excited for. During the prayer meeting we decided that we want to see at least 60 people at the event and 5 people come to Christ through the event and follow-up. This isn't something we can decide, bad phrasing, but we are placing our trust in God to do great things. I also had this vision that I'd be like, inviting a lot of people. Between classes just talking up some people and inviting them, webCT messages, texts, in person, a lot of invites.
Secondly, the date has finally been decided on the sushi event that has been brewing for a week and a bit. Nov 26th we will be having sushi. I don't know how many people will be coming though, but you have to start somewhere.
Anyways, Ttyl!

Organic, Physical and Bio-
So, it's nearly Wednesday... I guess the week disappeared. lol
Monday was all about my Phys chem lab. All morning working so hard to finish that on time. Then I had a lab, prayer meeting, a break and then we got ready to go to Dundas for a pizza outreach.
There were six of us going, so we met in Oasis and prayed. You see, as part of my DG we take turns organizing and implementing an outreach. This week MW planned to go onto DB's floor in res and have pizza, have open conversation, a game or two and build friendships from there. I personally had thought that MW is kinda, like, focusing only on DB as our main first year guy. Whenever he does this I think that he's like ignoring the other guys, SM, JS, MC, etc. I think I'm not fully loving of MW. It's really cool that he's taking the initiative and building into DB so much though.
Anyways, there were a lot of people. We knocked (politely) on people's doors and when told there was free pizza they positively and in an interested tone asked 'seriously?' There were a lot of girls. We only realized that we hadn't asked any C4C girls to come with us as of, like, 30 minutes before the outreach. xP...
It was cool. We had 5 pizzas. We played mafia and some people told some stories. LT basically told the prodigal son story, but it was actually the true story of this girl he knew, what was her name again..? Burnadette? Nope. Anne. Sure, that's easier to say! lol (He didn't know. Those were the names suggested). Yup.
I'm looking forward to 'Story of the Soul: Hope' next Friday night.
Anyways, I got home from the party and had to study for my midterm in organic chemistry this morning. TJN and I studied late into the night. It was actually the first time I had seen some of the material... I missed one lecture and it was a pretty important one. >.>
This morning CW's alarm went off at 7:16. It's just the radio, but he listens to the radio really loudly, so either I wake up or lie in bed with my hands full pressure over my ears to block the noise, which is no way to sleep.
Oh! I had a dream. NM was in my dream. I was at some Banjo and Kazooie convention of some sort (mainly playing levels that don't actually exist, but that I've played in dreams before) and NM and his girlfriend show up and of course we have a giant hug and he's smiling that ridiculous smile as always. That's as much as I remember, well there was also this part about a music note I couldn't find in one level, but that's unimportant. I miss NM... He was like the first guy I met in Vancouver before going to East Asia. He has this crazy haircut that's like really long on one side of his head and short on the other. He also has rainbow shorts that are shorter than his boxers. lol..... We ran together once during Orientation.
Anyways, ya. I went to school early. TJN had invited me to audit his stats class and study for orgo. Yep. I learned a lot in that hour and a half. I'm pretty sure I aced the test.
Then I managed to get a good deal of my Biochem lab done. Then I had a bio lab and got a plant! lol. We were cutting them up last week, but now we aren't so our lab coordinator was giving them away. I have this deep set idea that my lab coordinator was the teacher for my plant bio mini program in grade 8... I don't know. maybe. I really like plants. xP.
Then I got some work done on my discussion for the Biochem lab, prayer meeting, stats class, train and bus home, massive amount of rice and one piece, Fun with Dick and Jane (which brought back good memories with my brother), and now I continue to procrastinate instead of studying for my physical chemistry midterm tomorrow. >.<

Monday was all about my Phys chem lab. All morning working so hard to finish that on time. Then I had a lab, prayer meeting, a break and then we got ready to go to Dundas for a pizza outreach.
There were six of us going, so we met in Oasis and prayed. You see, as part of my DG we take turns organizing and implementing an outreach. This week MW planned to go onto DB's floor in res and have pizza, have open conversation, a game or two and build friendships from there. I personally had thought that MW is kinda, like, focusing only on DB as our main first year guy. Whenever he does this I think that he's like ignoring the other guys, SM, JS, MC, etc. I think I'm not fully loving of MW. It's really cool that he's taking the initiative and building into DB so much though.
Anyways, there were a lot of people. We knocked (politely) on people's doors and when told there was free pizza they positively and in an interested tone asked 'seriously?' There were a lot of girls. We only realized that we hadn't asked any C4C girls to come with us as of, like, 30 minutes before the outreach. xP...
It was cool. We had 5 pizzas. We played mafia and some people told some stories. LT basically told the prodigal son story, but it was actually the true story of this girl he knew, what was her name again..? Burnadette? Nope. Anne. Sure, that's easier to say! lol (He didn't know. Those were the names suggested). Yup.
I'm looking forward to 'Story of the Soul: Hope' next Friday night.
Anyways, I got home from the party and had to study for my midterm in organic chemistry this morning. TJN and I studied late into the night. It was actually the first time I had seen some of the material... I missed one lecture and it was a pretty important one. >.>
This morning CW's alarm went off at 7:16. It's just the radio, but he listens to the radio really loudly, so either I wake up or lie in bed with my hands full pressure over my ears to block the noise, which is no way to sleep.
Oh! I had a dream. NM was in my dream. I was at some Banjo and Kazooie convention of some sort (mainly playing levels that don't actually exist, but that I've played in dreams before) and NM and his girlfriend show up and of course we have a giant hug and he's smiling that ridiculous smile as always. That's as much as I remember, well there was also this part about a music note I couldn't find in one level, but that's unimportant. I miss NM... He was like the first guy I met in Vancouver before going to East Asia. He has this crazy haircut that's like really long on one side of his head and short on the other. He also has rainbow shorts that are shorter than his boxers. lol..... We ran together once during Orientation.

大大前天 和 大前天
Ok, I've been pretty buried in light work recently. I've also been not at home during the time I normally blog, so ya. This will be a summary..?
Thursday:
I honestly don't remember much about Thursday. >.> I'm pretty sure it was a jam packed day of classes and labs. I think I wasted a lot of time again on facebook and youtube and was really feeling guilty and upset with myself for all of the time I have wasted this week. I still had a lab report due on Friday and I really hadn't done very much of it. By this point I was hoping to have been done and able to start the next lab report which was due monday. I don't think I stayed up too late..?
Friday:
I walked to school because I had planned on not biking home. My first discipling with LT. He had bought a new camera app for his new phone. Well, he also had this really cool smart alarm clock app that measures how much you roll around while sleeping and from that tells when you are in REM, light or deep sleep and wakes you up when you are almost awake up to half an hour before your actual alarm time. It seems really cool. We started going over my personal development plan. As JW knows, I'm not always the most responsive or thoughtful person, and when it got to the question about which verse or promise you'd like to claim for the year, or which command or exhortation to keep in mind, I had nothing. I prayed about it. I had two phrases come to mind: 'feed my sheep' and 'keep in step with the Spirit'. >.< Hmmm... LT thought that the first one might have something to do about loving God more, which is definitely something I need to grow in. I really don't know why these came to mind. I hadn't read those verses in a while. I intend to reread them soon.
I then left to go to my meeting with KC. Today's lesson was about our relationship and fellowship with God. Our relationship as children of God, offered to all who believe, is not broken ever. However, unconfessed sin can break our fellowship with God. When it came to 'repentance' and the definition given being 'a change in attitude which will result in a change of action', I asked if he could give an example. He, ya, didn't think the same way I was asking the question, I meant, like based on this definition is there a 'real-life' (meaning not sin-related) example that fits it? So, I gave this example about how I use microwavable plastic containers. My housemates keep telling me how it's not healthy. My change in attitude towards the plastic containers would lead to me not using them anymore. (Fyi, my attitude to microwaveable plastic containers has not changed, so kinda a bad example, but anyways...) I'm excited to continue meeting with him and I really hope God changes him and does great things through him.
Chem lab- shorter than usual.
Then I got to help LT carry pumpkins into the C4C weekly meeting room. Then I was official greeter. !!! Two of the guys I followed up with back in the beginning of September finally came to Weekly Meeting!!! Not that this is the only way to get involved, but it's the fastest way of integrating, making new friends, seeing what C4C is about and feeling the full experience. BS and MdS! Anyways, during Weekly meeting JB gave her first talk. Later we carved pumpkins! They were really cool and it was a lot of fun. Then we smashed two of the four pumpkins because no one wanted them. We went to Loeb and stood on the roof and dropped them like two floors. XP (We cleaned it up.)
Then me and AL bussed to EE's house. She was having a movie marathon. One reason we went was actually just so that we had somewhere we could be during another video chat with our EA family. This was done mainly for MC who wasn't able to join us last time, however, she couldn't join us again. lol. I got to see PW finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! T.T Typing this right now is making me tear too... I swear, that was like the saddest moment ever (recently), leaving her alone at the hotel and bussing to the airport without really having a good goodbye... and she was crying... T.T But she was her happy, crazy, super asian self again. T.T (tears of joy) We'll need to do it again for MC and because not everyone was on at once. xP
So, in the end, at EE's I ate a pile of candy (my main meal of the day), watched part of 'Psycho' and the start of 'the Shining', video chatted in EE's room, and slept through the rest of 'The Shining'... lol... We got a drive home from AL's nocturnal (I'm exagerating) dad at like 4am.

Childhood's 'Future Career Choice'
God is a way better artist than I could ever hope to be.
The following took me over half an hour with countless 'undo'ing which is not shown. It is also very surface level and a large portion of it is based on semi-random splatters. There is no life in the picture. There is no depth. There isn't a lot of things.
God only took 6 days and he created absolutely everything in the universe down to the atom. So much more creative, intricate, meaningful and amazing. He didn't leave out a single brush stroke from every sunset. Nothing was random. He created life.
Anyways, here is the link to my painting. lol.
My Painting!
I encourage you to pay attention in your statistics class, but if you really really want to, please give artpad a try.

Struggling
Yo. So today and yesterday were pretty hard. I mean, I had three midterms today and without going into too much detail they were hard, easy and weird, respectively. I did however survive them.
I stayed up really late reading my Biochem textbook. I woke up early to continue and finish my phys chem equation sheet. Off to school for those two. Then I decided studying for plants was boring so I spoke only in Japanese for about 30 minutes with JXW who knows [very little] Russian and is learning Korean, but not Japanese yet. She wants to take intensive next year. Why are leaves and cancer similar? They are often terminal. Serious face. That was an answer I selected... The choices were like "green" "photo synthetic" and a couple other random ones...
Anyways, I thought my Biochem lab was due tomorrow, so I worked on that lab quite a bit.
Makeshift 22's first bi-weekly social was tonight. It was pretty interesting and a lot of fun. We got busted by the campus cops though... Not because we were doing anything illegal, but because they were worried for our safety. It was just becoming awesome.
Ya, so. Sin sucks. If I can't even carry the weight of my own sins for a couple hours, imagine how Jesus felt on that cross bearing all our sins. I'm so glad I have a Saviour who has paid for my sins and the sins of the world because there's no way I can ever pay back on my own for the sins I commit.
Whenever I fall down, I fall far and it's bad. I give the devil a foothold and he goes miles with it. For two days it's just been pounding on me in my thoughts. I've felt really bad, but I know not to rely on my feelings, but with faith on the things God has written in the Bible.
Anyways, I'm gonna go sleep for more than 5 hours!
Ttyl.

Makeshift 22
So, today was filled. Literally every second of my day was filled. But it was awesome. I kinda slept through Biochem class though... >.>
Later on I helped LF in Phys Chem class. Helping him find errors in his assignment.
Next was my break. I think I was... umm. Ya. I was in the Loeb building chilling with some of my friends working on my BIOC lab and doing the prelab quiz. Then I ran off to my Plant Bio class and learned Korean again. lol. There was a beet being passed around the class. >.> and he was telling us about weird stems...
Then I had to go help out at the Raven's Log table for Carleton's Club Days. There were like 4 or 5 of us there so I really didn't do anything. I joined CUJA (the Carleton University Japanese Association) and got a FootPatrol Application. Also I said I would like to volunteer with Sock and Buskin (theatre group) not to mention that I'm an exec in Raven's Log (which you should definitely check out some time. I will link it in the side bar..? It is a youtube club). On top of C4C stuff... I'm overloading myself... again.... lol.
Between 4:30 and 6 I did a WBS Bible Study. That was cool. It was about the Family of God.
At 6 I had a Co-op seminar thing. It was informative and funny. There were four employers from varying workplaces and we got to ask them questions. I took 7.5 pages of notes. I have to write a resume or something by Wednesday...
At 7:30 I went to this meeting for 'Makeshift 22'. What in the world is Makeshift 22..? That is what I was thinking going into it. SC president of Raven's Log told us to all go and network, promote the club etc. Makeshift 22 is an amazing idea. It's all about cross-disciplinary and inter-club projects supporting each other and working collaboratively on projects for good causes. Also, they want to be able to support projects that individuals have but have nowhere to throw out this idea and get it started and rolling. On top of funding they also will be able to provide people support and ideas and basically promotion too and everything really. They can look into their members database for people interested in such projects or useful in that area and get your ideas off the ground. It's still starting up because last semester was it's first semester and it was only architecture last year. I see a lot of potential here and want to see it grow.
Ya. I'm excited, over worked, under slept and have a lab to finish. lol

PS. Apparently I will be Vloging soon. Also, I take blog requests now..? (You'll see.)

What do you crave?
So, today was super great. Basically awesome. lol (Which I have noticed I use too often. >.>) But, ya, really it was good.
I didn't have class until 10, so I took the extra time and prayed and read the Bible and had a quiet time kinda. I really need to get back into good routines with my quiet times. Ya.
So, organic chem was good. Alkenes. Fun stuff.
More free time for lunch, reflecting on sunday school work and kinda quiet time..?
Then I had a bio lab. Ground tissues. We cut up some begonias and some crazy semi poisonous plant. It's really hard to not rub your eyes when you are not allowed... Ya. easy whatever.
Next was another good part. I had a follow-up meeting with PB. On his survey he wrote 'pastafarian' for I am a person who is: other: ___ . So, I was kinda expecting some really weird person... He's in science, so we talked about that for a bit. Then we got to the magazine and he had written down justice for what he craved, but he was rethinking his answer. He craved Escape and Love. So, we went through the escape article, which I hadn't done yet. And we transitioned into the KGP article. He was saying that he grew up not really knowing 'religious people' or being able to find out about these things, so he was really attentive and interested and it made sense to him. He wasn't ready to make an instant decision (really, it's a weighted question. lol) but ya, he seemed interested in exploring these new thoughts. Thank God for bringing him to Carleton University and giving me the courage to phone him up yesterday (I was avoiding it).
Ya. Then I ran off to have dinner with JC. I don't think I've seen him in a week. lol But we're still good friends because we text all the time. I keep wanting to be like 'Oh! My friend MK met up with your friend TC today!' and talking about that. He's Catholic and we haven't had a full conversation about that yet. I gave him a magazine and invited him to the discussion groups.
Then I had class, biked home and now I'm here. I played guitar for a while.
Ya. Two meetings tomorrow. I can't do it myself.

Day 5 and Part of 6
Well, yesterday was fun. lol...
It started off with me leaving later than I had originally planned and being held up by my deciding which shoes to wear. lol... Waste of time, not actually important, but really, I feel way cooler when I wear Converses. I like to pretend I am cool. lol. I want to buy more cool clothes. >.> My old clothes are all big and lame and ya......... Not important. The only thing is that I didn't buy anything to wear in winter when I was in EA, so there is nothing new to wear when it gets cold.
That's not important.
I had one class and one lab. I don't understand most of what we are learning in Phys Chem... I do not know how to integrate. >.> My friend KG was just nodding along the whole time during class though. This is making me think he is way smarter than I usually think he is.
My lab was pretty boring. Just the lab manual, normal procedures, a hilarious video on lab safety and we were done two hours early.
Between the class and lab I had two meetings scheduled. They both fell through though and will have to be rescheduled. I was really looking forward to the second of those two meetings. He pretty much filled out everything on the survey, so it would have been a very interesting conversation.
After the lab finished I went home and had a large lunch.
CW had repaired my bike! You see, I was looking forward to riding my bike in the summer, warm weather and the warm breeze, just flying down bike paths. Looking cool, feeling free, having fun. Green grass, white clouds, blue skies, birds tweeting, cicadas humming. Summer in all it's greatness. But I had a popped inner tube and CW was gone until September and I've been busy and he's been busy. Either way, the weather has shifted. It's like summer in Eastmain again... CW says it's like summer in the Yukon. >.> That's not summer.
So, we biked back to campus for 'the event formerly called weekly meeting'. A bunch of people went to ACF this week though. They should really not be on the same night. lol. (ACF = Asian Christian Fellowship) I got to meet another group of excited first years and some second years too. We had a talk about the Spirit filled life. It was good. We were in a funny room though. lol
After we went to Oasis and played some board games. We (JS, MC, DB, AL and I with some other onlookers) played a game called 'Killer Bunnies'. It is pretty hilarious, but a little hard to understand at first. The rule book is pretty funny too. You have to get the magic carrot. There are 12 carrots and you don't know which one is the magic one until the end of the game, so for a long time you are trying to kill the other bunnies, get carrots and keep your bunnies alive until all 12 have been collected. Then you find out who the winner is! I got 5 carrots. I won! Yay! It was a long game though. lol.
Biked home and I think I went to bed. Oh, anime first, then bed. lol. Also dinner.
This morning I had my second driving lesson. It went way better than the first one. No real reason though. xP I haven't really been in a car very much since the first one and that was like 3 weeks ago or something. lol It was good.
Ya, so that's it so far.

But I had a popped inner tube and CW was gone until September and I've been busy and he's been busy. Either way, the weather has shifted. It's like summer in Eastmain again... CW says it's like summer in the Yukon. >.> That's not summer.
So, we biked back to campus for 'the event formerly called weekly meeting'. A bunch of people went to ACF this week though. They should really not be on the same night. lol. (ACF = Asian Christian Fellowship) I got to meet another group of excited first years and some second years too. We had a talk about the Spirit filled life. It was good. We were in a funny room though. lol
After we went to Oasis and played some board games. We (JS, MC, DB, AL and I with some other onlookers) played a game called 'Killer Bunnies'. It is pretty hilarious, but a little hard to understand at first. The rule book is pretty funny too. You have to get the magic carrot. There are 12 carrots and you don't know which one is the magic one until the end of the game, so for a long time you are trying to kill the other bunnies, get carrots and keep your bunnies alive until all 12 have been collected. Then you find out who the winner is! I got 5 carrots. I won! Yay! It was a long game though. lol.
Biked home and I think I went to bed. Oh, anime first, then bed. lol. Also dinner.
This morning I had my second driving lesson. It went way better than the first one. No real reason though. xP I haven't really been in a car very much since the first one and that was like 3 weeks ago or something. lol It was good.
Ya, so that's it so far.
Ttyl.

Excited again!
Hey D.Fa! Don't ever forget that God is amazing and answers prayers!
When you ask him of things he will answer! When you ask for things in accordance with his will, he will give them to you! When you seek first his kingdom and righteousness he will provide everything else! When you don't know what to do, trust in him and trust in him to guide you!
I wanted to help out more at C4C this year and have God use me. Suddenly I'm doing so much more without even really asking to. I get to do some follow-up for the survey campaign contest. I get to lead worship for tomorrow's prayer meeting. I get to see all my friends from last year and still be their friends as if nothing happened to separate us during the summer. I get to come back and be changed and be used to change others. I'm so thankful for the people I have met this week, for the people around me, for everything really.
Today I had two lectures and a tutorial. All my profs are pretty zany. (except my stats prof) My classes are gonna be awesome this year! I just need to stay on track and everything will work out.
I'm glad I got to spend some time with KC and help him out with his prelab. I hope and pray that God would be working in his life. I saw that he signed up for a DG, so I really hope that he comes out to those and really participates and that God changes him too.
God doesn't just take sinners and leave them the way they are. Although he loves them for who they are, he doesn't love our sin. He payed for our sin through Jesus' death on the cross, but just as Jesus was raised again to new life, so must we be transformed to a new life and grow into the person we were meant to be. It's exciting.
Today we were calling some people for follow up. I got 10 guys. I called like 5, set up 3 meetings, emailed the rest, probably not much there, but really, there are almost 100 first year guys who are interested in meeting up with us for a brief chat about God or Spiritual questions. I pray that God would really be using us in the little time we have and change other lives.
God is awesome.
Peace.

First Frosh Finale
Hey guys!
Super crazy week this one has been!
Saturday 8am-5pm
We were on campus moving half of the students into residence. It was a really great time of getting to interact more with my team and getting to work together with the other facilitators. The main thing that made me think was just how much of a great service it is having all the facils helping move people into res. You pull up in a minivan packed to the egdes with bags, boxes, clothes, books, etc. with just you, and your parents. The task of moving in might take a while. 5 minutes later you are done. How? The 20 facils that grabbed a box moved it all in one trip! All of them with smiles and a desire to help welcome you and give a hand. I really enjoyed this day and just getting to see all the excited first year students got me really pumped!
Sunday 8am-1am
Repeat of yesterday. I wore different shoes because I got blisters from my converses. lol. By the end of the day everyone starts getting really tired. There was a meal for off campus frosh and we got to meet them for a bit although a bunch didn't end up participating in most of the week. At 7 or something Ravenpalooza happened. It was like a pep rally and there was also Second City doing improv and sketch comedy. After that was the much video dance! I got to meet a couple frosh and patrolled around the room. The dance was really fun. We also walked people home, either to res or their cars or a little further. Safety precautions. I was dead tired when I got home. I got a drive home which is awesome because it started pouring. lol
Monday 8am-2am
Roundup the frosh by pounding on their doors and chanting Slinky cheers! We got to meet and talk to our frosh for the first time. Asian guy with super British accent, what?! It doesn't work in my head. I think he's impersonating a Beatle. >.> Umm. A workshop and a play. Also at the same time we were scrambling to move in the last 500 students into the new incomplete res building. Then we all went off to the canal and had canal games! Fun carnival style games pitting team against team. Always included a cheer off and then we'd switch stations and do it again. Games included inflatable obstacle courses, a dunk tank, a real life battleship game. Then we prepared for the team dance competition. LOL. E(?) was so stressing out about our choreography. At the end of the dance was a cheer and they all did really well. All 17 teams used a different song! Except for 'Teach me how to Douggy'. >.> Then dinner time. Afterwards was CU@Night! Two dances, BINGO!, Trevor Boris, and Karaoke. It was a lot of fun too. Afterwards me and AL walked a couple engineer students most of the way home. They live a little further than me, so we walked together to my house then split ways. So tired. lol.
Tuesday 8am-11pm
Wake up! Then we all went off to that grassy area by the uncovered teepee and had a 'Spirit Roundup' where every team did a lot of cheering and there were two competitions (I think) the Burp-Off and Pudding Eating contests. Either way, afterwards we all walked along the canal down to the beaches! It was beach day! The main events were sand castle building and cheer competition, volleyball, and dodgeball. There was free redbull and other stuff too. We spent a lot of time working on our castle. We got to work right away and made an amazing sandcastle! (Ours was the only castle!!!) All the others were really good too. Umm. After we went back and had dinner. Then we rounded up the frosh and went to the concert!! Stereokid and Down with Webster! 'Whoa!' It was a lot of fun. I was in the middle of the crowd with NC and JC (same last name. lol) great concert, but Stereokid may have been better musicians.
Wednesday 6pm-11pm
Ok. Wednesday I woke up at 8 and got to work. I had to prepare for school. I hadn't bought any books or even knew where my classes were yet. I got a lot done. I went to the bookstore and I don't really remember a lot of it. lol. Then I had dinner with JC and one of his friends. Also a trombone player! Then I had to go roundup the Slinkys to go to the Expo! What is the Expo? It is where pretty much all the organizations, clubs, Societies, and campus groups get together and show the frosh what they are, give out free things and have contests. It was pretty wild. So many people in such a small space. I didn't get very much free stuff, but I got to see a bit about Foot Patrol and a number of other groups. After that was a (really bad) talent show of a couple groups from Carleton. The South Asian Alliance Dance group was okay. They won 500$ for their club. Last of the night was 'MTV's The Buried Life'. Reading this on the schedule I thought 'Oh no... MTV. This is going to be bad.' They are really cool four guys who in their own circumstances came to think about their lives and what they wanted to do before they died. They wrote a list of 100 things and started getting to work completing them. It started as a two week trip, but it got extended over and over. They also along the way decided they should help others achieve their dreams. They have helped a lot of people with a number of really cool projects. One of the things on their list was to have a television show. Eventually they signed on to MTV when they were approached, but they told them that they'd be in control of the episodes and filming and everything. So it's still a good show, just on MTV. lol.
Thursday 10am-1:30am
First day of classes! I had one lecture in the morning. Organic Chemistry with my prof is going to be awesome. No textbooks. Just the lecture slides and schedules all printed and bound into an 80$ book of things we actually need. He's a really cool prof too. I got to help JS with the current C4C outreach contest '$1000 in Change' campaign by handing out short surveys and talking to people a bit for a couple hours. Later I went to get more books. The bookstore's lines were sooooo long. Then I went home to see my mom. She has been back since Sunday morning and she is much better. She is having a bit of a vision problem, but she is mobile and eating and feeling much better. She had been off her feet for a long time though, so she's getting readjusted to walking. This is a chance to start over. She's lost a lot of weight, lost a lot of pills, is eating better. Keep praying for her. Then I got a drive to school for some follow-up training for the campaign. Then I had Stats at 6. It ended early and there was no lab that night. Then roundup for the Ravens basketball game against California. There were so many frosh that the facils were kicked out of the stands. I read the Un.Cover magazine which speaks about our cravings and how they can point to there being a source of these cravings and something that can satisfy them. We won the game! Then we went off to Alumni Park on campus to watch ToyStory3! I ended up talking with two of the frosh most of the time though even after the movie was done. One of them is from Iqaluit and has a lot of crazy stories. They both like curling and theyb talked about that for way too long. >.>
Friday 7am-11pm
First up, pancake breakfast! It was really good. I kinda slept in a bit, so I didn't do any round up. After it was time to Shine! Friday was Shine day. You see, every year Carleton University donates a large amount to Shinearama, a foundation that does Cystic Fibrosis research. Today's schedule was empty except for shining, meaning going and collecting spare change donations from people all over the city. I had chem class at 10 though, so I went to that. KG is in my phys chem class. We went to Haven to get some books. 'They are upstairs and there is no room on the shelves right now until these books are sold. Come back next week.' Kinda annoying, but the design book I was reading in the check-out line was interesting. Then I was caught by another slinky who was shining, so I helped her for a couple hours. When another slinky came and took her place I left too and did some homework. Then C4C had their first weekly meeting! I thought I was excited for the frosh I had met so far, but it was super exciting getting to meet frosh who already are ready to do ministry and join C4C in helping other students discover Jesus. Summit is at the end of the month and I really want to go! Lastly was the Closing Ceremony. There was a Shine Auction. Things were stolen from Vice-Heads and sold back to them for Shinearama donations. lol. A bunch of awards, three bands and a lot of stuff. Tympanic was really good. A latin feel, good vocals and good playing, a SAXOPHONE! They were really good. And that was it.
I got NY and AM's cell numbers. I still need to get S(?), M(?), T(?), S(?) and R(?)'s cell numbers. I have a very irrational idea that if I don't get some contact info from the frosh I met, that I will never see them again. I know they are in Prescott, but I can't just walk in. Also I feel that my schedule is hard to work with. It seems I have 8 labs every two weeks instead of the 3 from last year. >.> It's gonna be an experience, but God will be doing so much this year! I can't wait!
This was my first frosh week and it was so good. I can't wait to do it again! (if I can) I'm pretty stoked at how much God has changed me since this summer started. But now it's fall and it's time to keep changing. lol.

Reading Week?
You see, this last week I set out to do a lot of work that I was behind on. I had formed a large list of things I should do in my head before it started, but didn't really do all of it...
Did I read?
I guess I read a bit. A couple chapters of Bio, a few chapters of math, not much else. lol
Did I finish my labs that were due this week?
No.
Did I do the prelabs for this week?
Mostly.
Did I look over my Japanese textbook?
No.
Did I hang out with all my old High School firends?
Maybe some of them, not all of them though... (I didn't give VB a spinning hug though... >.>)
Did I write my resume..?
No.
Did I write my support letter for East Asia Project?
Not really.
Did I waste a lot of time?
Yes. So much time... I even cleaned RL's room instead of doing my own work. lol And now for the over exagerated before and after shots.
Before:
After:
Also, just for fun, I color coded his closet! xP
That was the main part of my week, living in RL's room (except for sleeping of course). His room was cleaner than mine... >.> BUT JK's was way worse than mine, so I was ok with my room. lol

Micah 7:19
So. Today I've had Bio and Chem. I ended up waking up at 9:08 (according to my clock) and had class at 10. Just enough time! lol.
Bio was really depressing. It was all about how ecosystems are falling apart and stuff because of human intervention among other things. Like coral reefs in the Caribbean have turned into algae reefs... and he was saying how there is practically no way that it could naturally return to the way it was. We would need to stop fishing of herbivorous fish that eat algae. To do that we need to establish another protein source in the Caribbean such as chicken farms or soya or something. Then once the fish grow and eat the algae, then the new coral can grow on the old coral and everything, but its still a long ways from where we are.
Chem was kinda boring 2 hours of looking at batteries... ya.... lol....
I was texting all class.
I am now in the library attempting to start finishing my Chem lab due tomorrow.
Next weekend on Saturday me and AL will be playing a couple songs. I was supposed to choose something by this last Wednesday, but I was too busy I guess, plus I'm terrible at deciding stuff. So we have a week left... lol. We have now chosen which two songs we will be performing. All that's left to do is practice and I started getting nervous about this aspect because I thought we only had the weekends to practice and I am completely booked this weekend... Then I realized I have reading week next week. lol. All's good.
Ok. This is really weird.... I just tweet a bible verse and now (my first) I have a follower on twitter. They are a clothing brand named SinsWear its a motorcycle wear type company. I have no idea why they are following me. I think it is very weird.
Ya. I have posted both of these songs before, but I just watched both of these videos and they are really powerful I guess. The bible verses in the first one were really interesting and the video just shows how great God's creation is that we shouldn't take it for granted and the video for the second one just hit me differently than the song did I guess, it makes me want to do more good deeds and just talk to more people. So, here they are:

Ok. I've made a decision.
I have made a decision. This decision actually involved three options (not just two!) and I have actually made up my mind. I am going to choose the grass pokemon for once. He's just so much cooler than the other two. You see, I have just spent the last 3 hours choosing and making my decision final.
In math class I did this:
I sketched it from a picture of a plush doll in pencil, then I inked it! Yay!
That was math class. Then I took a picture of it and put it on my computer! And when I started editing it on MS Paint, then KL told me that there should be a program on my computer which there was not so instead he said to use, guess what... MS Word! lol. I edited the picture with MS Word! what the? lol. but it really helped with increasing sharpness and turning things and stuff and getting rid of the paper lines. Then I had this:
Then using MS Paint I coloured it as best I could. It is a very 2D drawing, but too bad. Deal with it:
So, ya. This is Tsutarja! aka Snivy. The grass snake pokemon, grass starter pokemon for the Unova region of the pokemon universe. Satoshi-kun aka Ash catches a female tsutarja who knows the move attract. It's so weird how the useless moves in the games are always the best moves in the show..... >.>
In any case, Tsutarja! I choose you!

When you find cuts you didn't know you had.
You know. Some days are just not what you want them to be. I mean I woke up this morning knowing I had a couple hours of work left to do on my bio lab. Of course I didn't want to do it. So I procrastinated. Anime. Breakfast. Proverbs. You know. Procrastination. I finally started doing it and I was doing so well. My lab actually looks okay this time. But around 10 I got a text telling me that I had work from 7-11. Past tense as in this morning. I was starting to freak out, 'do I go to work for a few hours to make it up, or do I finish my bio lab'..? I mean I didn't really have a choice... I had to do my lab. My boss said she would forgive me because it was Valentine's day. So I rushed to finish my lab and possibly work an hour or something... I did not do that. I barely had time to get on a bus before it was due...
Meanwhile there was this hilarious scene occuring in my house. So, ET shows up and goes to wake up JK. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and LET'S GO OUT FOR BREAKFAST! So he also goes to wake up JR and everything. While he is doing that KP arrives and goes to the kitchen to start making breakfast for JK. Then ET comes downstairs and it became way more hilarious. Especially because there was heart shaped bread. They were arguing about which one of them would get to give JK breakfast, except they were arguing 'no, you're his girlfriend, I don't wanna valentine's day' and like 'no, go ahead, I've got to study anyways' 'but you have heart shaped bread' 'you were here first' etc. So KP left.
My bio lab was dreadfully boring today.
You know how yesterday I was a waiter? Well, today I was a spinach harvester. I'm being serious. I was instructed to 'harvest' the spinach plants. I harvested like 130 sprout sized spinach plants. Then I got to be a paramecium farmer and count how many we had on slides. No joke. For like an hour I was scanning cover slips looking for paramecium. There were like 20 total that I found. >.>
Then I started reading through all the East Asia Project stuff they sent me.
DG wasn't really DG, but I'm really glad it wasn't. Me and RM went sharing. We ended up in Rooster's talking with 3, or rather 2 muslims and one so called atheist who seems to have looked into quite a bit of other religions. It was a pretty interesting discussion. One thing that was funny / odd was that the other day I had read how Muhamad couldn't have really been sent from God or something because whenever someone asked for a miracle he pointed to the Quaran because his miracles were in that. Well, today M(?) was saying how no other prophet had a book be his miracles, which makes it the undistorted word of God or something. I thought it was odd how the same point could be used to argue both for and against Islam. In the end we were kicked out of Roosters and told to buy our coffee there next time (They were closing and the other 3 guys had cups from Timmies. lol) So RM exchanged emails with one of them and they kept a real life kit.
Ya. It was really interesting. I kinda want to do more discussions with muslims, but I do want to learn a bit more apolegetic material for such a conversation because I had nothing to really say... lol...
Ya.
Today was up and down, but it was interesting overall.
I just found out that the new headphones I got with my bass have really good bass. lol My earbuds do not. Also, my laptop doesn't.

But there are No Windows... >.>
Honestly, slow cookers have blown my mind. xP You throw a bunch of good stuff in a pot that you wouldn't really eat on it's own and then you just leave. When you get back the smell of amazing stoup fills the air and you cannot wait until supper. It was soooo good. Also, I am very glad that RL suggested making rice. I had actually wanted to, but I've never had stoup with rice, so I kinda pushed it off.
In any case, YA is really great. I was actually thinking of BC on Monday in DG when there was a question asking about people we could talk to in our lives that are 'lost'. He was the first name to pop into my head even though he wasn't on my 5 or even my 15. You know, I'm still pushing him away despite always feeling like I should be doing the opposite.
Ya. BJ didn't come to YA. I really wish she had. xP but there's always next time or the time after that. As long as we still get to talk at work and stuff and ever since she got a phone that's been less of a problem, but I still never get to hang out with people in 'real life'. xP 'Real life' as in, not school, not work, the other stuff.
I have to work on a bonus question for Chem by tommorow afternoon and then I have to cram for a midterm on equilibrium and kinetics and rate of reaction stuff. It's almost all grade 12 stuff, but I missed almost all of the classes. I watched them all, but it's not the same. You can be as distracted as you want as long as you have the video playing. Where as in class, there's no internet (because its in a basement and all that fun stuff.)
So, ya.
It's almost reading week!

In any case, YA is really great. I was actually thinking of BC on Monday in DG when there was a question asking about people we could talk to in our lives that are 'lost'. He was the first name to pop into my head even though he wasn't on my 5 or even my 15. You know, I'm still pushing him away despite always feeling like I should be doing the opposite.
Ya. BJ didn't come to YA. I really wish she had. xP but there's always next time or the time after that. As long as we still get to talk at work and stuff and ever since she got a phone that's been less of a problem, but I still never get to hang out with people in 'real life'. xP 'Real life' as in, not school, not work, the other stuff.

So, I am really really happy right now. xP
Nothing cures depression better than a Chemistry lab. xP So good. We were doing acid-base titrations of Hydrochloric acid and acetic acid. And there were pH meters! So cool! xP My partner is pretty cool. He doesn't really like chemistry, so he lets me do most of the work and when I start doing something I start doing it mechanically. I was going faster than he could write data down. xP I think our group finished first. We had to wait for another group to finish so we could swap data though because there were actually 3 parts to the lab, but everyone was only doing 2 parts to save time and materials. In any case we left half an hour early. xP
I then wanted to blog, but ended up talking with JW until FILM class.
I have quite a few things I want to talk about (I wrote them all on my hand. xP).
So, this week is quite busy. To add to that I recieved my Bio lab back on Monday. I became mentally unstable at the sight of the mark. I had lost 40% for not attaching a couple pieces of paper. This brought my mark for the lab (worth 10% of my final grade) well below a 'pass'. I could not believe the mark I had got. I mean, sure I was up until 3am, then up again at 7 working until minutes before it was due, but still... I mean, 40 marks?!? it's our first lab this semester... In high school teachers try to give you every oppourtunity to make up marks, 1 day late, whatever, 1 week late, whatever, 1 month late, whatever, just get it in and you'll get a mark. You still expect this, but know its not supposed to work that way. So, I wrote an email to our lab coordinator. I was kinda restraining myself from yelling at her because I know I don't actually deserve to get back all of the marks and it is never good to send angry mail to people, it just ruins your reputation. I just wanted some of the marks back... I know we get 1% bonus for not handing in anything late and 1% for registering our clicker, so the 4% I lost would only really be 2% of what I've already earned... 2% isn't all that much... As I talked more about it with JC and AL I felt a bit better, but still it was devestating...
One thing that still stuck with me though is this idea that grace is assumed to exist and that sometimes we just expect things and only complain when they are not there instead of appreciating it when they are there. Such as buses or grace. Grace is amazing. How can you want justice and at the same time expect that when you make a mistake, that you can always look over it..?
Anyways, I then went to DG in the middle of scrambling to do a CHEM prelab. I mean it really hit me that I should do some work to avoid another 'fail fail'. So I went to DG. This week there were four of us. Me, RM, DL, and JS. We were going through a lesson called 'for joy' in the C4C DG booklet thingee. It was about Luke 15: 1-10. In this passage Jesus is asked 'Why do you hang out with the sinners and tax collectors?' to this Jesus responds as usual with a parable, or analogy-type story relating things people knew about to things of heaven. The parables he spoke about in this passage were about sheep and about coins. 'What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not go after the one who that is lost, until he finds it?' 'Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house until she finds it?'
Reading these I was thinking like in University practically no one believes they will get 100. They always trade for the higher marks when forced with decisions. Like, should I work on a paper worth 20% or a quiz worth 1%..? The paper duh. Even this stupid bio lab. I would trade my bonus marks to get that 40 marks back, as long as I end up with more marks in the end. Especially because 90=100 at Carleton. xP Who cares about 9 or 10% as long as it still appears perfect. Also, for the 'silver coins', no one cares if you lose a dime, right? Well, guess what God cares. We will search day and night for the lost one and then do everything He can to bring them back, even giving up His place in heaven to come and live among us and in the end, die on a cross for us. But you know what, He really cares about that one lost sheep. 'there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.'
On Monday, because I happened to be at school earlier than I expected, I went to CHEM and learned an amzing way to balance redox reactions! It blew my mind! Just add water to balance O, add H+ to balance H and add e- to balance charge. and if it is a basic solution just add OH- to neutralize H+ in the equation. xP This actually makes it easier than it had been, and I already thought it was easy. xP
Last week in YA JK said something so much deeper than we had all thought he could imagine. On the topid of marriage and the debate as to whether it is more important that you and your spouse are one or two, Pastor DB said that it is a trick question. They are equally important. JK then said '1+1=2, but two is just one digit.' It blew our minds. xP
And last story of the day: Today in Physics I was sitting behind the same people as usual and they were doing the normal stumbling and such. The girl I had recently creeped into being friends with had these cupcakes. They were the most amazing cupcakes I had ever seen. They had pink icing and when you cut in in half, there's the image of a red heart in the cupcake. That is ridiculous. How did she put a heart in the cupcake batter!?! She said she made them today as practice for next week. At the end of class the four of them were having a group picture taken and their fifth friend's hands were too shaky, so just as I was leaving they asked me to take the picture. I immediately rotated the camera phone about 60 degrees and the original photographer says 'creative.' I was laughing in my head. I took the picture and now I know her name is S(?) and the other girl's name is also S. xP
That is all for now. And possibly for a while.
