Lectures over. . .

It was the first time I have ever been at a lectureship thing. It started on Tuesday and ended on Friday. I enjoyed it a lot! The speaker was Steve McMillan (don't know about the spelling??) and he did an awesome job. He spoke from the book of 1Peter. By being at these lectures we were about to get out of our classes (BONUS!), of course none of us did any work while the week was going by, but that is only natural. On Tuesday we went to Sherwood, sat up on the balcony listened to Steve speak, came back to the college and watched a game of Risk. I didn't understand it at all, so I just took Jim's players and made them into different situations where they would die, or kill others...quite enjoyable. Then we had to go to the night service downtown PEI. There was a band that was made up of people from the churchs around here (well, Cornwall, Central and Sherwood) They did a good job, also a choir was singing too. There was a song, Revival, that the choir and band did together, it was awesome! Then after the lectures we usually went out somewhere, like Tim Hortons or something like that. Taught Tyler how to play Blackjack....no comment :P Then Wednesday it was pretty much the same. I don't really remember what went on at the college...probably something that is too cool for yous to know about...which is the real reason why I can't write it....yes..I CANT FORGET NATHAN! Tyler drove Nathan, Robbie, Elise and moi to Tim Hortons...we were debating wether or not we wanted to go in, out of nowhere Nathan gets our of the car, goes to the window (where people, who we saw at the lectures were sitting) and licks the window! We were all stunned, and just ended up bursting out in laughter when he came back in. The people in Tim Hortons just looked at us in the car, they did have a smile on their face but it slowly turned to a look of discust. We did eventually go into the Tim Hortons, and Nathan found out that he did know the people who saw him. It was too funny. Ask him about it sometime..

Thursday was our pancake breakfast. We got up at 6 something, and was at Sherwood by 7:30 to make Pancakes and sausages. We were all so tired, but no one got food poisioning, or died, or complained, so it was a success. After the lectures we all went to Laura's house got into teams and played Cranium. It was interesting because it took about 20 minutes to put ourselves in teams, and still were confused, and then actually playing the game...but it was fun anyways.
Friday was the last day of the lectures, and it was a good day! The band, Three Season Ant was there. They came at 5:30 pm when they should have been there at 4. So we had like 40 mins to help them get set up and do sound checks and all that jazz, but they made it. There was a great turn out there, even saw some non- young people...which is always nice. Three Season Ant played, and rocked the convention centre! Steve had an awesome message, and Unified did a good job as well. Then we went to Cody Banks, watched some hockey...It was probably the coldest that it has ever been in there! Then of course to Tim Hortons for some good old fasioned arm wrestling (which we established that I am not good at *even when I cheat*) It was a good ending to the busy week. But now it is over, back to work, back to reality, and back to not sleeping. And of course Jamie is getting (or got) married this weekend! YAY!

P.s. a picture of moi! with a book Nathan found and thought fit me quite well.

-Can you figure out why? >.<

and a random picture! (This picture was take a while back...It was as you can see in someone's car...it was kinda scary, hahahaha...O_o

Back Again

It feels good to be home (PEI) again. Yes I call it home here, because I feel at home when I am here. Friends at the college and at church. great group we got here, yes a great group. Even though the holidays were awesome, I missed it a lot here! It is hard to get back into the swing of things. Memorize Acts, do Romans, figure out what Fred is trying to teach us...man..Bible college is crazy! But never the less I really do enjoy it here. I brought back my bestest friend Elise. I am so happy she is here with me. Now it really is like home, we sing, and dance like none other, oh good times. Nothing really has happened that is interesting, went to Cody Banks on Friday (yay!) gym on saturday, and Central today! I missed that church too, and our youth, oh gosh! So again nothing really, just a little update until something really exciting happens, like I find the curse for cancer, or if I can get through planning this VBS thing...or...should I say VBStress. Gotta love it though.
I at leats hope your past few days have been more interesting than mine. :)

Home for the Holidays

So far my holidays here have been so much fun!
I have done many things such as go to the Lirbenson Christmas party, and stuff my face with foods, and sing many songs! We (Lindi, Laura, Elise, Caitlin, Corrie, Cailtin, and I) Sang many christmas/non-Christmas carols throughout the night. We usually just break out into song anywhere we are, and well, since I have been gone I haven't done a lot of it. I was glad to be there and just hang with the crowd. Such great people, I will miss them tons! Also there we had little chocolates that i think were discussing.
Then came the new years HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! Merry 2007!!
Elise and I were told to make a cheeseball and poppers for the party and we did, and it was an awful experience. First we washed and took the seeds out. However, somehow something landed on my bottom lip, and it started to swell, and go red, and BURN, burn so bad. I started frantiking around Elise's kitchen, grabbed some bread, which i couldn't touch because my hands had jalepeno on them. So ran to Elise's mom, and she ripped of a piece of bread (while laughing at me) and i rubbed it on my lip...but that didn't work so I had some water. (with bread in my mouth) but that only made it worse...by like 100%, so I grabbed a big spoon of yogurt and stuck my lip in it. (Very attractive ;) and eventually it stopped. THEN IT CAME BACK BIGGER THAN EVER. So here I was drooling because my lip was on fire, with yogurt, bread, and water on my face...eventually after everyone was done laughing at me it stopped. FOR GOOD...stupid things....they were delicious though. BUT it was just me who got hurt in the process of these scrumptious delights so did Elise, and Caitlin. So it wasn't all at loss. But there is my new year popper story..
Then we went to Lindi's house and hung out, set up the food, greeted some poeple, and hung out. Then I played Euchre. I am too pro at that, my team won the first round (yay matthew!) and then the other team won the second round (only becaus I wasn't really paying attention). Then also the others who weren't playing cards played monopoly! for like 4 HOURS!! Eventually The count down came and we sat, drank some champonade, and sang some crazy new year song. It was great. And what says happy new year than watching Saturday Night Live at 2:00am! Chris Farley! Great, soo funny. Eventually we did go home, and passed out from exhaustion. Good night.
So here I am now. Packing some things to ship to the island, getting my everything organized (hate it!) and trying to fit things and make them work. Flight home, clothes, SHOES! ugh. And where ever you go the government will follow..jerks.. AND I FINALLY GOT MY ROMANS BOOK! ugh i am so impatient that waiting for it just took 10 years off my life. But it is here, so i guess i shall start doing something with it.
So I go back in 5 days...I can't wait to see everyone, it feels like forever. But I also have just no life. So I will exit on that note.
-Happy New Year! >_<
