Mind Games

Man, my mind is playing games on me. The second I start to get comfortable in one place, I've gotta go back to the other place. I got comfortable in Calgary, and then I get to go back to Edmonton. I've had so much fun being back in Edmonton, but now I have to go back to Calgary. In under two months, I will be back in Edmonton for Reading Week. My brain is like getting so confused from all the switching back and forth. Like I said before, I have wished I could just pull the two worlds together. Luckily for me, we'll all be together when we get to heaven; so this time and space continuum thing's got nothing on us!

Well, there's been some uncertainty about when I would get back to Calgary - all thanks to this wonderful snowstorm - and the only answer I could give people was "I don't know". The last thing I wanted to do was to take the bus back down because I have an absolute hate for taking the bus. Thankfully I have a ride, and will be leaving tomorrow at around 1-2pm. Just like coming back here, it's going to be weird to have to get used to everything again. I finally feel right back at home after three weeks. I'm not too sure how things would be if it was only the two weeks for Christmas. But, nevertheless, I have adjusted just to have to readjust again. Oh well.

The past three weeks that I've been back has been such a blessing and my mind has been so refreshed. Although I'm physically tired from all the shoveling and StarCraft, I'm glad I got to come home. There's always been something about the people here at NEAC that is something else. I don't know what it is, but I think God is seriously doing something with the English congregation here. Perhaps I will write about the way I view our congregation on my Tumblr, because I have to make use of that one too! But anyways, as people go back to school tomorrow, I'll be on the road and hopefully can get back to Calgary without too many delays. After that, I'll really need to mentally prepare myself for this next term. I know I'm going to have to really do a whole lot better in terms of everything in comparison to my first term. I'll give myself a break (haha, who does that?) and say that the first term was a bit of a warm up for going back to school after having a year off.

So I'm really glad that there's a new year that we get to experience. Being able to see some of you guys just put a smile on my face, even if it were just for a day. Certain things will never change and I am very curious where this NEAC group will be in 5-10 years. If most people are still there, I'll be amazed. Well anyways, I am getting tired, and I took a break while writing this blog post to lose a couple games on StarCraft. I am a nerd, I know. But that's okay, it's irrelevant.

To start off 2011, I want to thank all the people I know that attend or have attended NEAC; you guys are too cool. I also want to thank God for dumping snow everytime I need to travel on the highway, making it more difficult for me to get a ride back, either to Edmonton or Calgary.

And... I'm done. Now I need to go rest my sore body from all the shoveling and hockey.
