First order of business, as always, I must listen to music when I blog. Today, I'm listening to T-Swizzle's new album. "22" is probably my favorite song at the moment.
Last week, during an opening prayer before class, my prof said something really true. He said that Novembers are usually times that feel either like we're in a desert or we're drowning. I found that saying so profound, I nearly shouted out in the middle of his prayer "AMEN!" But I didn't, because I have amazing self-control. LOL
Anyway, I need to step up my game. A month ago, I said I'd have a couple topics to write about, and I still haven't gotten to them yet. So good, right?! Unfortunately, as time has dragged on, I've felt less and less a desire to write them; so I guess I'll just put them on hold until I actually want to write because if I'm writing for the sake of writing, it won't turn out the way I want it to.
So now that October has come and gone, I don't really know what I did for the entire month. I know that the game timer says that I've invested over 40 hours total into Pokemon White 2, so I guess I put some good time into that game. Some time during the last month, I also received an email that was an invitation to test the beta for the new StarCraft 2 expansion Heart of the Swarm. I was honestly so excited. I've played some games on it, but it's really hard to get used to. It also demands more from my computer, so I don't want to play it too much in the fear of overheating. It looks promising though.
I've finished several papers that ranged from a solid A to a C-. Okay, I'm going to step aside and talk about my C- paper. It makes no sense, that in a class of seven people, writing a paper that is about each of our own lives and our ministry "profiles" can warrant marks only in the C range. We were all ripped apart for things that we wrote about ourselves. I was so offended at first because I thought it was only me, but apparently we all felt the same way. And after having a couple of my classmates talk to the prof about why he arrived at those marks, all he gave was basically like the NHL labour talks: a whole lot of talk, but no real substance. So, basically, we all got C's on papers that we wrote about ourselves. We're not perfect, but you don't have to rip us apart for how we feel about things in ministry just because they don't match up with what you think or aren't refined yet since we're still in school. Okay, enough venting. Haha.
On the topic of education, I don't know how many people I've told, but this is generally what my next year or so will look like. I'll finish this year in April, like everyone else. Depending on how my internship situation goes, I'm going to begin interning as early as May, and going through to Christmas of 2013. After that, I'm going to come back to Ambrose for one more semester to graduate. This is assuming that everything goes as planned. There shouldn't be any problems, but because my school is so small, I always have some fear of things not being processed because the administration is so poor, and some courses that I need aren't even offered when I need to take them. So, hopefully, things work out and I'll be out of here by Spring of 2014. If my graduation gets delayed a year, I won't be very happy; and neither will my parents and the elder board of NEAC.
In the news of other areas, I don't think I really have anything exciting to write about. Whenever Christmas pops into my mind, of course it's going to make me want to go shopping. So, yesterday, I went to the mall and bought myself a couple of shirts for a relatively cheap price. I used the excuse of needing to fill up gas to go to the mall. I am somewhat disappointed that I didn't walk away with more because I don't go shopping too much anymore, and that there were a couple stores that I usually like shopping at but they didn't exist at Chinook. However, I'm stoked to be going home this long weekend and hopefully paying a good visit to the new Simon's' store at WEM! STOKED!
Hey you! You look beautiful today! Yes, I am talking about you (= No, stop speculating on who it is, I'm talking to you!
