The Same Ugly

I guess this means my "hiatus" is over. But I haven't started working yet since it's only 10:00am, and the sky left us a present last night. This is the first time that the snow has executed an invasion plan and actually worked (stayed, unmelted). These days always catch me by surprised. It's perfectly fine one day, and then all of a sudden the next morning I wake up and everything seems so bright because the snow is reflecting all the light and kind of rubbing it in by saying "haha! suckers! we're here now!" Yeah... Well, the stuff is the same down here as it is, I guess, everywhere else; it's the same type of ugly. But I guess I should've expected it because I looked at the weather forecast yesterday and there was a snowstorm warning for the Southern Alberta region. It's all good though, it's about time the snow arrived anyway.

On the other hand, it means Christmas just peaked its head around the corner and it's got me pretty excited. Christmas this year is going to mean going home! It's going to mean that I get to see and hopefully hang out with a lot of people back home and hopefully share some good times in between semesters. Presents have lost their appeal to me, so I don't care much for Christmas presents anymore. The best present I could get is to hang out with friends and family anyway; it beats having a new pair of jeans any day... Actually that's a close one. But the point is made.

That's about all I have to say. Now I've just got to catch up on my morning news and then seriously get down to business with doing my papers. Speaking of which, the two papers I've already finished, one turned out decent and the other was full of BS. I'll just say that my Theology course is incredibly hard. I hope to goodness that I can at least get a passing mark in this course, because it's not looking so great. But I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Hopefully everyone is hanging in there!

And it's also so cool to see so many people begin to get on fire for Christ. As another believer, it just makes me happy to see that God works in so many ways to touch people. He can turn pure apathy into full-blown, live out loud type of believers. It's great to see. I had to pull out the God card, because what would a blog post be without it? Haha.
