I meant to make a post last night, but bowling with the Embassy and preparing for this heinous day took longer than expected 🙁

I suppose that I shouldn’t be complaining; I have three interviews today, so the prospect of finding a job is particularly good. But, I have three interviews today, so I’m going to be destroyed by the time they are done.

Getting up at 6am was rough. Staying up was almost as bad, too! I already had one interview, and I think it went quite well. My next one is at 11:00am, and my third at 1:30pm. Then a test at 4:30. Oh my. Sometimes I wonder why I (pay to) do this to myself!

Anyhow, I better be off. Be back later today. (Have you noticed that I’ve become addicted to posting?! Ahh!!)

I should be sleeping, but I’ve been bogged down with some employment-related duties. And, while getting through them, I realized how plentiful opportunities are. And not just in terms of a job, but in every facet of my life.

Jobs: It seems that some great options may open up outside of co-op. In addition to three interviews on Tuesday (I found out that I got another one just recently), I am in the process of exploring alternatives to which I have been referred by friends. While stressful, it’s all also very exciting. I’m anxious to see what happens!

Travelling: Going to BC this Christmas to go snowboarding. Maybe somewhere interesting next term for Co-op. Maybe Africa in September. Oh my, my brain hurts from thinking about it!

Faith: So much truth to be found in other religions. No, I don’t plan on converting or anything, but I know that there can be so much inspiration outside of Christian circles (or even the particular circles within Christianity that I’m currently found. Denominations? Bah to that!). I think that I’ve been becoming less hesitant to take a peek or two 🙂

Literature: I’m thinking about picking up another book, now that I’ve finally finished The Last Word and the Word After That. I have no idea where to start. Well, I have some idea: I don’t want to have to buy it 😉

Other: I think my eyes are opening to a whole whack of other things in my life that are just waiting to blossom. I’m cautiously excited 🙂

I had quite a morning today.

Like most mornings, it started at midnight (which is about when I left the Bomber). I figured that I’d stay at St. Paul’s overnight since I was going to be going to Elevation at 10:30. There was no sense of biking home and back again, especially since it was calling for rain later in the morning.

Fortunately, I knew that Ashley was going to be away, so I thought to stay in her room. I hung out there for a bit and used her computer to chat on MSN for while. While doing so, I realized how utterly horrible her keyboard is. Ireally wishthather spacebarworkedmore consistentlybecause constantlyfixingerrors gotreallyfrustrating. Using Java to remote to my home computer probably compounded the issue, but…

I somewhat randomly and hastily made plans to attend a different church service this morning. This is probably the first time in a very long time that I went somewhere else instead of Elevation. But, regardless of where I am, I think that I can experience God. Just as long as I’m looking for Him.

Then I get a knock on the door. Apparently, Ashley loaned out her room to someone else. But I wasn’t displaced for long; I managed to make arrangements to stay on the East Wing. 3:50am. Stink. I’m not even tired.

I didn’t sleep too well (as I usually don’t when I’m away from the comfort of my own bed). I woke up rather frequently during the night, and the last time was at 7:30am thanks to some pretty loud thunder and rain. What am I supposed to do for around 3 hours? Maybe I’ll just go home to shower and get changed.

Heh. Bad idea. It became a downpour shortly after I left the college, so I arrived home sopping wet and a little peeved for leaving the dry confines of the college. God, if You want me to go to church this morning, I hope You make the bike ride back to SPUC less horrible. It turns out Someone was listening because it was partly cloudy by the time I left my house. 😉 Wahoo!

I don’t exactly know the name of the church I attended, but I do know that it was somewhere north of campus. When I arrived, I noticed that I was a very visible very minority: I was pretty much the only non-Caucasian person there lol. Nobody is looking at me weird, so I think I’m in the clear. The service itself reminded me of a Catholic one, in that it was fairly structured and had a good share of responses from the congregation. The music was well done, too (thanks to a choir with 12ish people). It was in singing hymns (of which I only knew one) that I began to appreciate my ability to read music 😀 All in all, it was a good experience. I think I’ll go again sometime.
