~ Woot! ~

Three cheers for internet! ^_^ A special thanks to Waiki for making me a 50-ft ethernet cable so I could connect to our router.

So, many weeks essentially internetless, but I'm still alive. Yes, yes, the Lord provides! Hahaha... So, not much substance to this posts or deep ponderings into the meaning of life, but I will fill you in on the last few weeks best I can...

So exams finished up on the last possible day of exams as usual. They all went rather smoothly with the exception of organic chemistry (Chem 360). I've never had such an intense mixture of angry and sad feelings swirling around inside me after writing an exam. All the girls were crying, and the guys were just laughing. It was a slaughter if there ever was one. I found out later that I ended up getting the high mark in the class....a 57%!! Can you believe it? Needless to say, it was bell-curved (hugely) and my marks were saved =P All in all though, I found a lot of educational value in the course, so if anything, I will measure the class by that instead of the evaluation.

My week back home in Ottawa was really really nice. It was the first time back home that didn't fly by. It was so refreshing to have time move at exactly the speed I wished it to! Definitely a blessing...almost as if God slowed time down so I could recharge for the new term...

So, Vicki, Lucie and I are all set up in our new home, B3-12! I must say that it looks pretty nice, and living in the living room is much more comfortable and less "exotic and adventurous" than I thought it would be! Lol...blame it on my 7-year old's imagination! Anyways, I've had no trouble with noise, and Lucie's bed is so comfy!! (Thanks Luce, you're a life-saver!). CCF is great this term...I really feel pumped up about the vision. We're focussing on the Kingdom of God and what place CCF and our own lives have as part of the bigger picture. I'm excited to see God working through new ideas and new ministries.

Vicki, Lucie and I also started up a weekly movie night. It gives us full COW credit so we don't have to do chores. It's a nice way to spend Thursday nights, although the turn-out hasn't been stellar to say the least. I'm hoping that more people will come out as the term progresses.

Work is going great. I'm working with a couple of naphthoquinones and basically shooting a laser beam at them under different conditions and watching what happens! Every Friday we have a group meeting where one of us presents new research from a recent journal article. Mine is this Friday. Prayers can't hurt! ^_~

I'm sure there's more to say, but Vicki just walked in, so I'm going to go =) Blessings always!
