~ Penguins in da house! ~

Just had a very anticipated evening out with the roommies, Lucie and Vicki, accompanied by our friend Meghan. We went to see March of the Penguins. Really cute movie! You wouldn't believe what a couple of Emperor penguins have to go through just to have a baby! Unbelievable...definitely a feast for the eyes. I've always been nutty about penguins =P

Afterwards we headed over to Second Cup for the $2 Wednesday drink. We had been meaning to do it all term, but this was our first time. Anyways, I was so excited to see that August's monthly drink was Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. Much to my dismay, it was all sold out =( Oh well, there's always next Wednesday.

Speaking of next week, I am jet-setting for PEI in just over a week. It's going to be so awesome! I'll get to see Mom, Dad, and a whole bunch of other people, not least of which are my grandparents who are celebrating their 50th anniversary. Praise God! What an accomplishment =)

Between now and then however, I am hopping with tutoring. I currently am tutoring 5 people in organic chem to prepare them for their CHEM 265 exam next week. I love it! At first, I must say that I was nervous. I love to teach, but never thought I'd be able to teach upper-year stuff. I am very thankful that God gave me this opportunity. It has reaffirmed my choice to pursue teaching, although I'm not sure whether or not God will stick me in a high school or somewhere else. All I know is that whenever I get the chance to teach, even if it's after a full work day, I feel more alive than when I'm doing anything else. Praise God for making my passion so clear to me =)

I pray that He will make your passion just as clear to you! Ciao for now, and find your rest in Him.

~ Alpha Reunion ~


Very cool juice boxes...and very cool siblings in Christ =D

those who were absent were missed!!...it was a really great time. I think the best part for me was getting to worship God through music together -- fancy style! Each of us has an instrument. Rodney played piano, Alex and Victoria shared the guitar, Chung played the shakSome pics for you from the Alpha Reunion...although only half of the people were there, ander, Gary the drum, and me the triangle. And we all lifted our voices together to praise the Lord. What a wonderful time of fellowship. And FOOD! See for yourself =P Posted by Picasa
