Reading Break

Monday- Monday was the start of our reading break. The week that most of us were looking forward to. We were going to rest up, do fun things and get ahead on school. It was a very relaxing day but I didn't get much school done.
Tuesday- We went into Victoria to just hang out and shop, which you all know I love. When we got there some of us decided to take some homeless people out to lunch. Right at the start we ran into a kid who sang and played his guitar on the street. He wasn't homeless but he wasn't well off. He played a few songs which were interesting but good. We invited him and a buddy to come to lunch with us at Fish and Chips. When lunch rolled around we had picked up James, which his name is also Will and Frank. We weren't sure which one it was. He was drunk but he told us a little about himself. He used to carve totem poles and how he used to catch fish when he was just a boy. They really appreciated us taking them out to eat and it was fun to get to know them.
On the way home we stopped at a water fall, which was just gorgeous! It was one of the most amazing things I have seen. Since I have been here I have just seen God's beautiful creation over and over again. Just when I think it can't get any prettier I am mistaken.
Wednesday- i am not sure what went on, on that day. I think I might have gone to Kristie's house to work on school. Me and a couple of the other girls went and just worked on school for the after noon. It was so refreshing and relaxing.
Thursday- it was a day of more school and just hanging out. But that night we went to a show at New Life church. It was two guys who are traveling Canada singing and speaking. The singing was, interesting, not my thing, but it was good. The talking was also very interesting. He was quite funny at some parts but at others I just didn't know what to think.
Friday- It consisted of me working VERY hard in getting my paper done that was due at 5:30. I worked all day and finally finished. I also had been reading all week the Old Testament, which was for our next class. I enjoyed reading over all the stories I had heard so many times. I realized at how much I had forgotten all the little details, and discovering new stories.
Saturday- I spent most of Saturday in my room. I think I came out 3 times before supper. I had been reading all day long and sleeping. Most of us are just exhausted, from what I do not know. But that night Justin was so kind in taking six of us out to Boston pizza. I was stoked! I couldn't wait to go out to eat. I hadn't been out to eat since I got here.
Over all this week has been one of the best weeks. It was relaxing, stressful in some parts, but tons of fun. Hanging out with everyone and just having fun. We didn't have anything planned, we could just do whatever we wanted.
Today we started our new class, Old Testament. I am loving it! I had heard that it would be going till 5:30 and I thought to my self, "how can I sit for that long?" But once we started I can't believe how fast time was flying. I was captivated by what he was teaching. He is an amazing teacher and I can't wait to learn more this week. It may have to be my favorite class so far.
Please pray that our big group project will go nice and smooth. We have to make a movie of the OT and so far we are not doing too good. So please pray that all goes well.
