School starts again!

Hello!

This past weekend was very very crazy.  Friday was my last day of working at the daycare, and after that I went to Winnipeg with someone to pick up a good friend of mine from the airport who was coming back to Manitoba for the school year.  When we got back, we hung out until almost midnight, and I went home to sleep for the night.  The next morning, my mom, sister and I got up early to get ready for my cousin's wedding.  We then drove about an hour and a half to get there and witness this beautiful moment of their's.  This wedding was somewhat different than other weddings I've been to, because it was a dutch wedding, but it was quite interesting.  I am very happy for my cousin and cousin-in-law.  The next day (Sunday) was my ninteenth birthday.  I was sick though, and it really wasn't much fun for me.  That evening, we took my aunt and grandma to Grand Forks for them to fly out to Kansas the next morning.  We stayed the night, and quickly bought a pair of boots for my birthday on Monday morning, and left as soon as we could.

The reason we left to come home so early was because I had to be at school for one o' clock.  I did end up arriving a little bit late, but I made it there.  That day was a ton of fun.  We greeted all the first year students, helped them get settled in, and held a barbeque and games day for them.  We had a worship night, and then a get-together at the deans houses for all the first-year students.

Yesterday (Tuesday) we were back at school for a mandatory breakfast for everyone, registration and orientation, picture day, and just hanging out all day.  A friend and I went to the mall for a bit, and afterwards I went for supper and coffee with another friend of mine from high school.  At eight o' clock I had to be back at school for a meeting.

When my highschool friend and I were driving away from A&W to Timmies, she had quite a bit of trouble with directions.  We ended up going on Main Street, and going back to the highway on some side-streets.  When we turned off Main Street, we saw five young men pushing a car down the street with no one in the car.  I covered my mouth so they couldn't see me laugh, but they definitely noticed.  I could not stop laughing till after we were parked at Tim Hortons.  My friend was starting to get scared because she didn't know where the hospital was (I couldn't breathe from laughing so much).  It was quite hilarious.  I did finally stop laughing so much, and we had a fun evening after that as well.

Today was the first day of classes!  I am very excited about my Old Testament course, and loving all the first-year students.

Excited for what tomorrow brings!

Bye :)
