Unnecessary

I find it quite funny that 'Necessity is the mother of invention' yet we still have ShamWows and Slapchops and Snuggies, all of which are obviously not things we need to survive (though Snuggies are incredibly comfortable- and relatively useless none the less).

Uni

I am now a university student. What that means to me is moving to a new town, a small university town, and entering into all sorts of new, unknown things. It means being away from my family and also many of my friends. It is like a new life. The first few weeks have been crazy. I have not really established a routine yet. I like routines. But I like this place. I like having only two or three classes a day (only one class on Tuesday!) and exploring this new town, and making new friends, and learning to live with a roommate. I liked the cheering of Frosh Week, and actually, I like the meal hall food. I like the fact that on the first day, upon arriving on campus, I saw a few of my favourite people from camp. This was a delightful surprise for me, amid the charged emotions of the day, and the extreme nervousness I felt, to see the beautiful faces of Kate and Keltie. This was remarkable because they do not even go to the same university as I! In fact, nowhere near. But they happened to be visiting some people. And so that is how my university experience begun. I guess this post is sort of jumbled around. But, basically:
  • I feel like God is working so much in my life here! I am becoming connected with many Christians, making wonderful friends, and learning so much about God.
  • I miss my family sometimes, but this is life
  • The natural beauty here is amazing!
  • I have been watching a lot of youtube videos. Here is one.
