Community Day
So our school had community day on tuesday. Now i know that sounds dorky and lame, but it was actually really really good. This school really focuses on personal relationship building, and that is something that i quite enjoy. I have been stuggling with getting to know people as i am a commuter student and a lot of people live in res. Community Day though brought us together and gave us a chance to just hang out.
Because our program was with the Christian Studies and Theology students we met at a church downtown and had a time of worship and a couple sermons, but then we had a realy cool communion time. We actually gave communion to each other and prayed for each other at the same time. It was one of the few times where " the church" has not been a building but a body.
After that we went and chilled at bowness park in calgary here. We cooked hotdogs and had some other food. Btw... boiling hotdogs over the fire kind of loses the purpose of having a fire in the first place.
hope everyone out there is stayin' groovy (as paul simon would say)
peace

Rain Rain Go Away
So ya its been raining here for about 3 days now. I wouldn't really be complaining usually but, i have to walk outside a lot more now. I have to walk from the car to the train which is about 3 blocks, and then from the train to school which is like 4 blocks. That usually isn't so bad, but when its raining like crazy its a wee bit anoying

HUGE SURPRISE
Have you ever been so sure of something there was no reason to ever question it? Now have you ever had that sureness shattered? Today something very unexpected happened. I mean i am still stunned, its one of those things that leaves you in a daze. Like when you found out that there was no santa... sorry to all those who still believe but it is true (that its not true that is) Anyway, i digress, here is what happened. So i am walking through the student lounge at school, its the second day so everything is still in the new unsure stage. All the faces are new voices strange, the smell in the air somewhat more grown up than the pungent smell of a highschool hallway. Everything is new, except for two things. I should be more specific. Two people are familiar, but you will have to wait to hear who they are. So as i am walking through the student lounge i look out the window, and off to the side of my line of sight i see this beautiful face, with this absolute smile that is full of what can only be descibed as beauty. In our philosophy class our prof said that we need to come up with a defenition of beauty... this is what is my definition. It is a smile and a face i have seen before, but a long time ago, a face that i thought was gone forever. In fact i was sure it was gone forever, i had convinced myself so. That was one of the elements of my uncertain life that i was certain about. A girl that was my first love, that all of a sudden one day was gone, she just disapeared. There was no warning just the mystery that she left behind. I remember thinking that she shone with light and wondering why no one else could illuminate a room like she did. All of a sudden she was gone. It took a long time to move on, and by a long time i mean a couple years for me to let her go... but never ever forget her. So hear i am walking through the lounge and there she is. I thought i was dreaming. She has hardly changed. I went over and we just started talking about the last couple years. I could have talked for years, but alas joy in this lifetime rarely lasts, and i had to go to class.
But here is my problem, in moving on from her i fell for another girl. Now when i said that there was only two faces at this school that were familiar here they are. The long lost love, and my the current flame within my heart. I am left to either choose between one which at this point seems impossible, or choose neither and suffer in silence. That is my predicament. If there is any advice out there please please tell me.
peace (because i don't have much)

So im one of them i guess
Well i now am one of those smart educated people i guess. I have officially started attenting university. At the momment i am in General Studies, but by December i hope to enter the music program. Jeez this is gonna be flippin' hard i think. I have a bio course called: The organization and diversity of life, and that is gonna be the tough one i think cus i didn't take grade 12 bio and i didn't do so hot in grade 11 bio either. I also have The Bible and The Reader, a course on understanding the Bible and interpreting it. That one shouldn't be too hard and then i have Intro to Psychology which should be pretty fun i have to admit. This morning i have to go to my first philosophy class. This is the one i am most excited about. I love learning the different ways of looking at the world. And then last but probably not least is : The Christian Faith. Not sure what that entails but it should be fun.
