I suppose I'll have to...

I got convinced to write another blog, haha. Sorry I haven't been doing it very often...been doing lots here with friends and such. The last few nights have been really late, because I wanted to hang out with a few people. Really late being going to bed at one in the morning, and waking up at 7...or at least trying to. I actually woke up a little before eight....so it's been a really tired week. Though it's ok, I'm just getting over homesickness now. I'm hanging out with a bunch of people, playing World of Warcraft, and getting to know people a little better. Of course, I'm still missing home.

so, my mom's coming in like...three days! I can NOT wait. It's SO exciting. I haven't seen my mom for around/over 2 months! It's going to be great. I'm not entirely sure what we're going to do...but we're going to do it!

Hmm...not too much else is going on. Oh, I think pretty soon I'm going to be leading worship at the church I'm attending. Not sure if I said that already. The church is really small, 20-30 people max. So I'm pretty comfortable there.

So far, I've had 2 essay/assignments due, and there's 3 more this week. Out of the 5, I'm done 3. I'm pretty happy with that. I'm still going to have to work hard, but I know I'll get through it.

There's really not much else to talk about. I've just been living life, doing homework, eating, and hanging out. Alot of the time, I've been wanting to come home, and just get out of here, but now, I'm wondering what it's going to be like, leaving here...and getting out of here. I've definitely got some attachment to the people here now. It's a good thing.

Well, I should go and stop procrastinating now. I'll talk to everyone later! Cya!
Matt.

Long time no....type....

So, I'm really sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I've been getting used to the idea of homework, and I've been running around doing different things.

So, I'll try to make this update as...general, but comprehensive as possible, haha.

I've started to get over the homesickness part....though I still miss Sasaktchewan. You know, I'm surprised how many people think Saskatchewan is the worste place to go. I've loved it all my life, and people here laugh about it, like it's...the backside of Canada almost. To me, Saskatchewan is the centre of Canada.

So....last friday I wrote a test in History and Philosophy of Church Music. the class is awesome, and we have great discussions (today we actually got 20 minutes out of 2 hours as "classtime"). But so I knew that I was going to get realy bad on this test, because there was one question that I kind of....didn't quite study in my notes, because I had labelled it as examples, rather than...actual content. So I lost about......15 out of somewhere around 45 marks...must've been less. Anyway, I got 54% on the test. That's the WORST mark I have ever gotten in my life on a test, I believe. I'm not too heartbroken, though, thanks to what this guy, Mark, said to me during one evening worship session. He said that he had the sense that he was supposed to come and pray for me, and asked what he should pray for. I wanted him to feel free to be led, so I told him to pray for whatever he wanted. He said a lot of things to me, but one of them was this, "Bible College isn't about academics, it's about making a relationship with the Lord." That definitly released something for me, in terms of this year. I definitely don't feel as tied to be "perfect" in my work this year, as I did before he said that.

Not a whole lot else has happened. I've been doing a lot of homework, while trying to keep up relationships with people. It's definitely hard to balance it.

Supper's about to be served here now, so I should go. I'm sorry I don't have time to post anything else right now! I'll talk to everyone else later! Cya!
Matt
