So, Monday was Halloween. Whatever. I'm too old to trick-or-treat, I'm too poor to buy and give out candy, I don't care for drinking, so wild parties are out, I didn't have time to create a humorous costume like RM did, so, normal day I guess. It's not even a good holiday. I mean, what is the moral behind it? Gluttony, partying, we could add demon worshipping to the list..? I don't mean to say it's all bad. But it can be very bad.
Point: Monday was Halloween. I had a lot of school on Monday I think. We finally got to do something in our phys chem lab. My other lab partners (because there's so much to do that the task is divided among three groups) wanted to just gossip during the time, like usual. >.>
Oh, in Biology we learned about dermal tissue. Whatever. It was just me and JXW that day because KL and KC weren't there. I hadn't really realized that we were such good friends. I really want to share the gospel with her. I asked God 'how?' last week and the answer was 'I haven't asked you yet, have I? What do you believe?' Point blank unless some build-up occurs naturally, but basically the JW approach. What can happen if I ask? I find out where she stands and can pray for her more specifically, we get into a spiritual conversation and God really speaks to her, or she can hear the gospel and receive the gift of eternal life. No down side.
DG was good. I was kinda on the hot seat and was asked what was the most amazing thing that happened on EAP. When I was falling behind, I took the day of rest reluctantly praying that God would be working even though I wouldn't be. And while we were playing with a frisbee, He connected me with Moped, who's English wasn't the best, so we didn't meet with him immediately, but when we did we shared the gospel and saw him come to accept Christ as his personal saviour. It wasn't me, God was working that day.
KD for dinner. xP
Today. So long ago. Umm. I slept in by accident. I also shaved last night. xP Movember has begun. EE was telling me about how much she loves Movember because she likes facial hair. But she urged me to grow out my beard too because she dislikes 'just moustaches'. It is not 'no shave November' it is 'moustache Movember'! I am contemplating dying it a really weird colour.
BIOL lab was good. We finished really early because we started the questions before we got there apparently. So I went to do my Stats assignment. Also really short.
I have to get a lunch together with some first year guys soon though. Partially because NC's mom asked me to go out for lunch with him and maybe bring a friend or two, and also because it is a good idea. I'm getting into a weird train of thought though. Like, I have to organize an event later on, an outreach event. So, I'm kinda in the mindset that everything we do should fit into the category of outreach events where there is someone inspiring others, some people experiencing the Spirit and doing outreach to help others discover Jesus. But then I'm also mainly thinking of inviting first year asian guys... so i don't even know what to do because ya... and to make it outreach you need to invite more people, so limiting the criteria (which God never does) isn't the best plan. Also, sushi doesn't really work too well with giant crowds which is what I'm picturing in my head.
Anyways, I'm super excited for JL who is applying for Short Term INTernational (STINT) missions trip with Power to Change (P2C)!

No Time to Waste
And so once again I have wasted countless hours on youtube, blogs, facebook and etc.
It's really frustrating.
I know I could have done so much more work during those hours.
Every second we have is a gift from God. This week of lowered assignment density is definitely very much appreciated, but I'd like to do something to lower the amount of work I have to do in the near future so that I can do other things like hang out with my friends, go to sleep by 1am, or even just spend an extra couple minutes doing a Bible study or reading a book.
This evening was a bit more productive though.
Anyways, this afternoon was the first DG (Discipleship group) of the year and it was cool. I'm in a more intense DG, so it seems like there will be a bit more work than last year, but it will be good. We will be reading through Ephesians on our own and writing reflections (punishment for not doing it is buying everyone dinner). We will be reading a book about fuel and fire, meaning building our relationship with God and then doing outreach. We will discuss it briefly every other week. We will be doing testimony and hot seat at the beginning of meetings to get to know each other. We will be doing outreach planning. Every other week someone will be planning an outreach and we will do it. It's pretty cool because the three of us will all be in school at least another two years. A lot can happen in that time if we really rely on the Holy Spirit and ask faithfully to see God work on this campus. It's gonna be a real growing process.
Anyways, one thing I've been thinking about is how there are certain parts of the Bible I am really looking forward to. Since this year began I've been waiting to read Daniel. I started a couple weeks ago. It's really interesting seeing how God used dreams and Daniel and everything for His glory in Babylon. The other book I can't wait to read is Hebrews, which will be sooooooo awesome after having read the Old Testament fully. Every single time anyone quotes Hebrews it is awesome and I cannot wait to read it.
I was actually looking at the Bible reading plan I'm on right now and December looks like a lot of fun. xP. After Dec 7 I am scheduled to read minor prophets until new years. xP
Yup.
My life is a crazy ride. xP... I'm thinking of starting my project application. The only thing is what if I suddenly can't go because of Co-op or something..? What if I'm in the middle of support raising and I switch plans? There are non-refundable airplane tickets. Maybe I just pay those myself and anything I'd raised go to supporting East Asian students going on missions projects..? I don't know. >.< I wanna go on project.

Random Hand Writings
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.

Randomness.
Hey!
I don't have much to say so this post will be randomness.
But, first I will say that C4C has good ideas for outreach, but sometimes you can't make everyone happy with how long some things go. Also, you should not put tea lights on a table that will be used for a discussion. Ya.
Today I saw what I believe is one of if not the most ridiculous things ever built. There was a parking meter. It was in a tunnel. It had a solar panel. Ya. Smart, right..? No. So I am rage blogging about that, except not really. If you have any connection to someone who can and will move it, please tell them. It is near little Italy.
Also, VS showed us the best video ever. I joke, but it is very funny. Don't pay attention to the stuff after the song.
So good. xP
Also, although I said I would not upload this to my blog, here it is. xP MW can no longer take RM seriously.
Ya, that was my DG leader RM. He has a tough outer appearance, but on the inside he is a Barbie Girl. I think we all are at least partially. xP Just kidding.

What Will Your Story Be?
Hey, whatsup..?
I am currently in SP 100. It is 6:52. It is 'Weekly Meeting' time for Campus for Christ and we are currently all on our laptops. xP My friend HK just messaged JC "hey. aren't you supposed to be at WM?" lol... It's like, why are you on your laptop..? Well, you see, we are all brainstorming different ways that we can bring the gospel to our friends and just tell them about how great God is. The main focus this month is on writing our own personal testimonies about how God has impacted our lives and just about where we are coming from and just how we came to know God personally. I missed the weekly meeting last week where we started writing our testimonies and everything, and in Discipleship group this week we 'continued' working on them. I still don't really know what to say in it. The main thing about the testimony is that it has to have minimal 'Christian-ese' in it and has to just be easy to understand for people who don't know all these Christian terms that we just put in our sentences while we speak. xP
The other day I was texting VW again and she asked if she had ever shared her testimony with me. She summarized it into 'pastor's daughter. baby. but blessing.' When we finally meet in person it's gonna be interesting. We kinda facebook stalked each other slightly and have had a couple text conversations. The thing I got out of that conversation is that when we finally do meet I should have my testimony ready...
Well, today I went sharing with RM and MW. First we were in the food court and we approached a couple groups of people. The first group was a band and they were about to play somewhere and were just grabbing a quick bite, so they didn't have time to speak with us. After that we approached another group and they were all in a 'secular group' or at least I think that's what she said, so basically they said they didn't want to talk with us. RM had to leave and so it was just me and MW and the Holy Spirit.
We talked to two different guys. One in Loeb Lounge who was a non-practicing Catholic and one in Oasis who is a Methodist pastor's son. We had the most amazing conversation with him. He was originally from Ghana and lives in Toronto. We went through the 'Satisfied' booklet that talks about how to live the Spirit-filled life and just how we are satisfied when we put God in control of our lives and just trust in Him. It was really sweet going through that booklet again. It's always good to be reminded of all that stuff. We talked with him for a long time and we prayed for him. I think he actually encouraged me more than I encouraged him. One thing he was saying is about "Why do pro atheletes practice..? I mean they are so good, why do they need to practice..? The same reason we still need to read our Bibles and pray."
You can never be too good or 'too spiritual'. Christians don't get 'too good' until we get to heaven. We still struggle with sin and temptation and stuff while here on Earth and need to rely on God and the Holy Spirit and Jesus' forgiveness.
Anyways, in both of those conversations they asked about what denomination we were in or just what background we come from. I really need to work on my testimony.
Ya. So, we were brainstorming about how we can use the internet, twitter, facebook, blogs, emails, anything to reach our friends. This blog is my main way of reaching out to people, but clearly I'm mostly reaching people in my church... xP But I don't like the idea of plugging my blog, like "Hey I have this blog!" .... XP So, I was thinking I should blog, and post my testimony to facebook and maybe even upload worship songs to youtube or something.
So, I was just wasting time on hotmail, blogger, etc. and I went to facebook and at the top of the page it said "Introducing Your New Profile: Now with more ways to show and tell your story." Tell Your Story
With these overwhelming hints. I suppose that I should really work on my testimony. Especially because I am supposed to be sharing it in DG on Monday... xP
Ya. I will post my testimony here, don't worry. You are a part of it for sure. xP

The Word is Spelt "E-v-a-n-g-e-l-i-z-e"...
Hey, so. Today was a fail.
I skipped CHEM. I watched 'Inception'. I bought vegetables. I bought more vegetables. I went to DG. I ate a GIANT salad. I drank over a litre of chocolate milk. I did one chapter of MATH homework. I went by bike to buy 8 litres of milk. That doesn't include the fail.
So, today before DG I attempted to go sharing.
I wasted half an hour. Then I finally went up to one guy. He was asian. He was reading notes. He is in Engineering Physics and he is atheist. He says that he likes to have some faith in the work of scientists in the past.
I had no idea what I should say, so I kinda left without really saying very much... He seemed confused... xP...... That is what I will call 'Evangelerving'. lol...
So, in Sunday school we were reviewing the first 3 weeks of the 6 week course we are doing because we were 2 weeks ahead of the other classes... Anyways, we were talking about taking every opportunity given to you and we were talking about the Winter Conference message from Allen Self about using every tool you have and we couldn't really remember the third point of his talk. The first two were "Observe" and "Serve". So LT suggested that the third one should be more memorable and that this should be done by making it rhyme with the other two. He suggested the 'word' "Evangelerve". Our whole class was laughing hysterically. It doesn't really sound like a very pleasant word...
Ya... I hope to continue evangelising everyday. Tuesdays will be hard though............. 10-9.... ya. I'll have to wake up early.
Also, in DG we were discussing Luke 12 about how the Pharisees were hypocrites. The main point we got was that you can't be forgiven if you refuse to accept the only way that you can be forgiven. RM and MW were kinda co-leading and I definately see them in a new light now. I always thought MW was perfect.
In any case...... I will talk to you later.

I skipped CHEM. I watched 'Inception'. I bought vegetables. I bought more vegetables. I went to DG. I ate a GIANT salad. I drank over a litre of chocolate milk. I did one chapter of MATH homework. I went by bike to buy 8 litres of milk. That doesn't include the fail.
So, today before DG I attempted to go sharing.

Produce vs Salad Bar!
So, ya.
Today, I woke up at 8:30, had a shower, ate an omlette, got a drive to church, played bass, got a ride home, ate ice cream for lunch, and went to work.
So, ya.... The store was renovated in the summer. The new Salad Bar has been its own department ever since. When it split off from Produce my boss only gave them a couple of the old Salad Bar employees and the others stayed in produce. He apparently doesn't want to share his employees.
Anyways, recently he took one of the new salad bar employees to work in produce. The new salad bar manager doesn't think this is fair at all. I kind of agree... but I digress. The real reason I am talking about all this is because that one employee that has been split between the two departments has two shifts on Thursday: 7-4 in Salad Bar and 4-11 in Produce. It turns out that I was the only one free to work Thursday night so SL (Salad Bar manager) asked me if I could work then and there was nothing on my calander for Thursday night, so I said I would probably be able to work then. The thing is I thought that I had promised someone that I would do something then..?
I then remembered that YA is Thursday, but this week is no regular YA! It's HK's last YA! It's the last time I'll see him and R(?) for a while... possibly a very long while... So I told SL that I was busy... No one else could take that shift though, unless I switch to someone else's morning shift... I proposed the idea that I could do the Salad Bar shift. =D
This is when she told me the whole situation. About how my boss wouldn't share me, or AS, or MR. xP But I want to work in Salad Bar..... T.T I was kinda begging her, but not quite and she kept telling me that if she asked my boss, he wouldn't allow it.
Soooooo, tommorow I am going to ask him. I mean, it's just once (as far as he knows... xP). I really want to...... xP
I'm so done with Produce... Since maybe 5 days after I got hired two and a half years ago, I've wanted to work in Bakery or Salad Bar. I always do my work as fast as possible so that I can go work in either of those departments now.
SL was saying that if I asked to work in Salad Bar my boss might tell me to just leave produce. SL said that if I was allowed to work in Salad Bar she would use me for more than just emergencies. I seem to have a reputation of doing things really quickly. She said that in January the Salad Bar hours would be reduced and that I wouldn't be able to get too many hours.
In January, I'll have to find a new job OR I will have to work every Sunday and one other day of the week instead of DG or YA or something else......
I just want to do something different already.... xP
I have been threatening to leave produce since the beggining of Summer, but never got around to writing a resume... Then I said I would be looking for a new job, but when I was writing a resume my computer turned off and so I had to start over... XP.... So, I don't have a resume..... and its exam time.....
My Bio exam wasn't that bad... It was a lot more wordy then I expected. It didn't want as many obscure terms as I thought it would. Short answer questions are lame. I can never explain things the way I want to...
I don't know why exactly, but I told BJ about my blog and she told JR.
I'm so tired... xP.
Night.

Before BIOL
Hey.
So, I felt like biking to school today. So I did. It took longer than last time, but I didn't go the same way. I went along Viewmount until Fisher instead of just going on Meadowlands. I saw Mr. RT biking to school...... xP.......
Right by Bethel an older lady waiting at the bus stop asked me if I had the time. She had apparently forgotten her watch at home. It was 7:33. I thought that I would be at school very close to that time.
My legs hurt. xP
I've also finished blog stalking JB and now I have nothing to do in my free time...
I should get going soon...
So, yesterday I had school until 1 and 4-11 I had work, but yesterday was also the day of the Mayoral elections, so I had to vote at some point. I went on the way home. It was my first time actually voting. "You know how a Scantron works?" So, I have voted, but I have not driven. Should that not be how it works..?
So, ya. My DG (Discipleship Group) was last night 6:30-8 or something. I couldn't go... >.> At like 5 or so I heard "Dylan to the Bakery. Dylan to the Bakery". RM (my DG leader) had come to say hi and breifly talk about what was going to happen in DG and stuff. That is pretty cool I think. (He does live just across the street from work, but whatever. xP)
Ttyl.
