This term
The wireless internet connnection in Loughborough is broken so I've ot been able to get onto here for a while- I can check emails under the guise of doing work, but Live Journal doesn't quite cut it! So this last term...what has happened...
The Freedom Tour has happened with a vengence! We've had 6 dates out of 8, and they have all gone amazingly. Each one has had some kind of challenge we had to overcome- tiny rooms, lack of P.A., lack of transport, lack of speaker, but God has stayed true to us and we've made it through every date, and had a lot of good feedback. I'm kinda gonna miss it when it's all over! The blaze is as fun as ever- we've missed quite a few because of the tour but I still love it! The 'young people' (not allowed to call them kids) are amazing, they are so much fun to spend time with and it's great to see them growing as they learn more about God too. Scary thinking that I am a role model for them though.
I'm pretty much settled in Loughborough I think. There's so much I'm involved with and a lot of quality people there. Typical that just as I start to relax there we're practically finished! There's only 14 weeks of team left. I know that seems like a long time to students who have 5, but it's still hardly any time, considering I've no idea what's gonna happen next!
This week has been fun. My 14-yr-old cousin came to stay til yesterday which was a lot of fun- we share the same sense of humour so laughed A LOT during the course of the week! Went shoppong quite a bit, to the Tate gallery at the Docks, watched a lot of films, just the kinda stuff you should really do when cousins come to stay in the holidays. Oh, we went for a walk in the park in the dark and managed not to get stopped by the police, which was also good :)
Tomorrow all my friends from school are going to a chinese buffet and then to see a film. I'm not. J and I have decided that we can't be friends without 'liking' each other, so we've cut off pretty much all communication (except to decide who was going to go tomorrow). It's weird, I don't like it. Before was annoying, but now I know I've lost a best friend and he's not coming back, at least not for a good few years. There's no real way to end that, you just have to stop, and it's taking all the self-control I can muster to stay out of contact, but I guess I'll get over it in time.
Any ideas what to do with my life?
