Thank Goodness It's Friday


So this week has gone by so fast but the days are really long. I get up around 6 - 6:30 AM every day to shower and get ready before doing the morning chores, then going to class right after they are done, then going to lunch right after that. An hour after lunch I do lunch clean up for 2 hours and all the kitchen duties to clean up and help prep for dinner. It's a really busy morning and afternoon. By 3:30 I have 2 hours before dinner (on some days) and then usually 1-2 hours after dinner we either have class, small group, one on ones, study breaks, or friday night meetings (which is pretty much church for the community). It's awesome though. I can hear them practicing right now for worship tonight - definitely stoked for that!

I still can't believe I'm here. Every day it sinks in a little more. I've been a little frustrated with the classes but they can only get better right? So I'm looking forward to that. We're really busy this weeked. Quenton and Landry (our school leaders) told us yesterday that we're going on a YP (my school) beach trip tomorrow to hang out and chill for the day so I'm really stoked for that too - it'll be awesome. I love the beaches here. Haha get this - Yesterday one of the girls in my room, Iban, busted into the room in a hype and said "guys guess what! all over the news in Australia they are talking about a shark at Scarbrough (sp?) (it's a beach we go to pretty often) and it was massve. Seriously guys it was huge! they could see it from the beach! they had to get the lifeguards and helicopters to try and scare it away! it was so crazy!" We all just laughed becuase it had happened last weekend as well. Only it wasn't all over the news.. and no one left the water except one of the guys here lol. Anyways. so that was the excitment of last night.

So I have homework to do and a lot of reading to catch up on for not doing it this week :S Im a slacker. Have a good weekend everyone. I'll write more in the upcoming few days.
