Caught In the Flow

Since the Olympics started last week, everything seems to have gotten so frantic and so crazy. Daily routines are changed slightly so everyone can make time to watch the Olympics on TV. Countries are joining together just to be able to cheer on their athletes - even when they normally dont (i.e. Jerome Iginla). I, like many, seem to be engaged in all the hype and the buzz around hoping Canada would win medals. And I have to admit, that I'm impressed at how well our country's performed in most parts of the games so far. Even before the Olympics started, every second commercial would be about them and it's just impossible not to get exposed to this event from all the media and stuff that happens.

The Olympics also marked reading week for university, and it was pretty sweet to get to go skiing in Banff. Surprisingly, I'm not so sore other than my right tricep because I used the poles too much to try to get myself moving. Even after tonight's hockey game, I feel pretty good. I'm glad that my conditioning is something that can come back to me so easily.

Since turning nineteen (and I can say this even though being nineteen doesn't have a whole lot to do with it, but after turning is when it started), I'm starting to have a tough time accepting that I'm growing up - yeah, I know right - and things are going to be changing in the next year. Heck, it doesn't even need the next year; things have already been different since I started September being out of school. Seemingly so, I have been given a ton more independence, and I don't know if I can handle it. But at the same time, I know it's good for me because I've been fed so much in life, that everything comes easy for me and I don't have to work too hard to get anything. So, this whole "moving out" business, although I don't want to see it that way, is probably going to take a ton out of me. But in the end, this is what life is, and I know it's something I'll have to learn no matter what.

Speaking of which, I am teaching the book of Nahum tomorrow. I am hoping that it will be a low attendance class, but if people come, that'd be great too. I must say that it is a very humbling book of the Bible, in the sense that it makes you feel insanely inferior when Nahum describes God's personality in the first chapter. So, I guess we'll see how it goes.

So uhh, I got sidetracked with a video, and now I've forgotten what else I wanted to say.

Go Canada!
