On Saturday night I went to a birthday party over in the village part of campus which is a more apartment style residences. It was Jess’ (one of the Aussie girls) birthday party. So we hung out there for the night. Played some poker, which was won by yours truly. Either I am getting much better at poker, or Canadians are pretty useless at it. A late night visit to McDonalds which are now having the much loved promotion of monopoly! Instant winner right here! Free pancakes!
The next morning I woke up bright and early to go with Josh, Kristen and Anne to Central Community Church. It was a really cool church. Very contempory. They broadcast all their services to other locations in movie theatres around St Catharines. The music was really great as well, sounded like a recording!
On Sunday afternoon we had ‘deep talks’ (weekly event that is pretty self explanatory) with some people on our floor, then all of our floor participated with a bunch of other people from Brock residences in the Don hunt. We dressed up and ran around finding all the Dons from the different residences. It was pretty fun.
On Sunday night I studied for the midterm exam I had the next morning. The exam arrived bright and early, it wasn’t too bad, but they had a heap of questions that were completely irrelevant and trivial and were only testing the fact that you learnt all the nitty gritty stuff on the lecture slides.
I actually fell asleep in my other lecture that day…which has never happened before. On Monday night I did something pretty cool but I forget now.
Tuesday – gym, swim, did some skyping, played badminton with Rohit, played volley ball at night time with the Aussies. Then went for a swim and taught sofia how to dive. Rushed back to my floor meeting. After the floor meeting we played a game called man hunt out in the courtyard with everyone on our floor. It was really fun and tiring.
Next morning I woke up realised that I left my camera on the stairs when we were playing manhunt the night before. It wasn’t there and hadn’t been turned into lost property. Shattered! Can only blame myself for it though.
I played squash with Sofia that morning. She had improved a lot and we had some great rallies! I spent the rest of the day being very conscientious on my assignment. Got some good progress.
In the afternoon after visiting the doctor about my cough, the international students had a dinner social in town. It was all you can eat sushi. Fantastic! It wasn’t buffet either….order from the waiter and he keeps bringing stuff out according to what you want. I even tried some eel!
Later that night, at 11pm, I went to the hockey again with the bcf crew. Only this time, one of the guys lent me his gear because he wasn’t playing. I got to play ice hockey!!! It was fantastic. I was terrible, very slow and pretty clumsy and goofy. I was the laughing stock of everyone there. But I got a few touches on the puck and even took a shot at goal. All the guys I played with were very friendly and inclusive which made it all the better.
On Thursday, I pretty much did nothing…started podcasting Hamish and Andy, which I don’t know why I haven’t done before, and I went to the gym. At night at 7 we had our Bible study with bcf. We moved it to our lounge room on Earp because all the library rooms were taken. After Bible study as I was walking into the elevator to skype dad about buying a new camera, I got a text from Andrew saying that he knew the guy who had my camera. It was such an answer to prayer!!! Perfect timing as well! Just as I am about to get a new one. Praise the Lord!
On Friday, I played tennis with Andrew in the morning – I beat him two to one but it was a great game! Watched some All Aussie adventures with him. At 1 I went to the C4C bible study with the boys which was good as usual. Then I went and hung out with Lyndall and Sofia for a while. That night I went to a drama presentation/show full of little drama skits. One of the girls on our floor Holly was in it so a bunch of us from the floor went along to support. After that, I bought a snowboard online, and hung out with people from my floor. I even met some people from the floor below which was cool.
Another week done, the time is flying by so quickly. With some of the spare time on my hands I made a video for upcoming halloween...
