Things Change.

Well, I guess things change.

Yesterday was cool. XP (My memory sucks, yo. I needed to really think about that.) Yesterday was really cool because I got to talk about stuff like the Bible and prayer meetings and more stuff about C4C and the iCrave Freedom campaign with a bunch of my friends. I got to see PK who I haven't seen in a long while. We got to talk about music and food and stuff. He was working on this assignment for food studies I think. He was supposed to write out his diet for three days. He decided his own diet wasn't good for the assignment so he was basically making it up. lol. He asked if I wanted to start a band with him. >.> Interesting idea, not enough time.

Ya. xP. Today was also good. I slept in way too long, but I got to school on time after printing my lab report at home and stuff. Ummmm. I had a meeting with AG my language exchange partner. Today's story was about a girl from China who came to Canada to study and the differences between the two.

Then me and LT had a meeting with MZ and her friend about the iCF campaign and how M22 could get involved and it sounds legit. They came up with this idea about doing bus shelter informational installations or something like that. You see M22 wanted to do a bus shelter installation already to beautify the bus shelters and stuff. When we were talking today the idea that a lot of women get caught up in human trafficking when they are in transit really caught her eyes I guess and so that idea was formed. I think it will be cool though because everyone needs to use the buses at some point and ya it could be really strong.

I got to go sharing with DP after handing in my lab report. We talked to a first year computer science student with a mixed background. He was a really quiet person, but the conversation was good.

Later I got to catch up with JW for the first time in a while. Always good. xP

I managed to get a bunch of work done on my prelab for tomorrow's orgo lab (which I realized like only a couple days ago that I had to do it. xP)

Prayer meetings on Thursday are always huge. xP

Right after I went to MHS instead of Stats (this is because I am unable to go either tomorrow or Saturday and I really wanted to go) to see their fall production 'The Wave'. It has been adapted from a novel into a play and it was really well done. The casting was excellent and staging was really well done. The only minor fault was a couple little A/V things, but apparently it's because their main A/V guy has fallen ill and so they have had someone else step up and there haven't been enough practices for them, but by Saturday it'll be awesome. xP

Umm.

Ya...

I just heard some news. I'm not allowed to share it though. xP

Just watch this instead. xP



xP

Ttyl.

=D.Fa

PS. I forgot to say, I think my connections to MHS are dying and that soon I will stop attending things, but for this year at least I will continue supporting them. Perhaps I will go to all of their Musicals, but I may not... >.> It's not the way it used to be. I'm not in high school anymore.

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!

I was offered a Gatorade, so I guess it's okay.

When you are a mover, as I learned from Seinfeld, you are supposed to be offered a drink. One guy actually did offer us some of his gatorades.

Anyways, today I had a whole day, whole body workout. This was accomplished by day 1 of students moving into residence at Carleton. Frosh Facils apparently bond and cheer and act over the top this weekend in preparation for frosh week. Well, actually, the majority of people in res are frosh, so this is technically frosh week now. >.>

So. The way this worked was I woke up early, walked to school, waited at the meeting place, and then the day began. We would all eagerly await the cars that would pull up. Then we'd chant 'Pop That Trunk!' with claps on the words. Cheer enthusiastically as it popped open. Ask where it was going, then take an armful of stuff. Drag it up the stairs, or wait for the elevator (in which case we'd practice being sardines. literally sealed and packaged with oil) and get to their door. We'd then have a drum roll as they reach for their keys and go to swipe. As it opens, more enthusiastic cheering. Welcoming and kind words as we unload and leave. Run down the stairs. Redo.

At the start of the day I was not happy about being there. I was not happy about not knowing anyone on my team.

Hauling massive amounts of clothes, water bottles and various other stuff all over the res was a lot of fun. I went to Prescott, Renfrew, Lanark, Frontenac and Leeds! When I went to Leeds (which is on the other side of the campus basically) it was to help an international student from India who had just got to school from the airport after a 36 hour flight! I'm really glad that Carleton has an ISC to help International Students.

Umm. Ya. By the end of the day I was so pumped to be out there and just meet these first year students! I'm really glad I have signed up for the Language Exchange Program and the Orientation Mentorship Program! I'm really excited to get out there and start mentoring and maybe even discipling first year guys!

I also got to see three of my friends and help them move in. DK, SC and CC.

Anyways, I need to sleep again. I also need to buy books eventually... >.> When? Who knows. >.>

Ttyl.

PS. I think it's pretty awesome that I didn't burn out today. 9 hours of hard labour and having a smile on my face the whole time. I didn't have breakfast either. lol. Thank God for getting me through it!

PPS. My mom is going home tomorrow. Pray for her. She's going to be very weak. She's been in a bed for nearly two weeks. Very thankfully, however, she is going home and the whole problem with [prescription/over the counter] drugs and stuff is worked out and she should be way better off than she was before.
