I apologise for the lengthiness of the last entry. It was a hectic week. Arriving back late on Sunday night from New York, we hit the sack pretty quickly. We had to get up early at 630 to prepare for my lecture and Mark still had a 6 hour drive home to Nipissing. Once I had completed my test in my lecture I couldn’t stay awake so wagged and took a lovely nap. After that I finished off the remainder of my classes for my undergraduate degree! Found out I got an A in my assignment…stoked about that because I certainly wasn’t expecting a good grade.
The rest of the week was filled with sleep, gym, study, shopping, television and eating – not so much anymore because I realised that my meal card can only afford 10 dollars a day for the rest of the year!
On Monday night Taylor and I went out to Boston Pizza for dinner with Kayla and Cait. We shared some great laughs there. Taylor accepted a dare to go up to a table across the room where to people were eating, and just stand there and look at their food until they did or said something. It was hilarious! After dinner we played cards in Kayla’s room and Taylor and I interrogated her roommate Erin which was quite entertaining.
Tuesday night I went with the Don’s to the Brock wind Orchestra concert. The concert was great – quite inspiring musically, even if it went for two and a half hours!
The mustache got shaved! Young innocent Rhys is back. Elle left Brock to go home, and so I hung out with her for a little while, and she gave me a Christmas gift which certainly made my day, and also a lovely card!
Wednesday night we had the international Christmas banquet. Everyone dressed up and we went to a local club for the formal dinner. The food was pretty good, company was great. Japanese santa even made an appearance! Then the 40 year old dj busted some tunes and the dancefloor lit up. After the dinner, most people went to the local bar but I went back to Brock with 5 of the girls. They came up to hang out in my room for a bit. It was hilarious walking past the study room where a bunch of the boys were studying – Just Rhys and 5 hot girls with him. Their jaws literally dropped haha. They had many a question for me the following day. But don’t worry all you back home who might be thinking I have been corrupted with promiscuity and polygamy, the girls and I just played cards.
Thursday night after doing some grocery shopping some of the people from our small group went to the Village residences and cooked pancakes and cleaned the units with Roy from Red Frogs. It was great fun. After that, I went over to visit Lisa, Jess, and Ariel at their apartment. I had quite a feminine night with them, watching a chick flick, playing cards and sharing head scratches.
On Friday we had our final campus for Christ boys group bible study. It was fantastic getting to know those guys, and sharing life with them. Friday afternoon I went back to Lisa and Jess’ apartment to do some cooking for the bcf Christmas banquet. I made a chip dip with sour cream, beans, salsa, cheese and capsicum. I put a lot of effort into it. And at the banquet that night, no one ate my dip (okay maybe a couple of people). The banquet was great! They had a bunch of games, heaps and heaps of food, some great musical items. Once everything was packed up, they had a service type thing with singing, and some Christmas carols!! The band was fantastic!
After the banquet, I went to Emily and Shannon’s house with Josh and we played some music and hung out until 2 in the morning. She had 3 guitars, a violin, harmonica and keyboard. It was a great end to the week!
