This is no "long thought vomit" ...

wow jen that was such a long post! but very good to read about how've you been and everything!

i really don't much time right now to post, so it won't be quite as long as jen's post below haha.
soon, i will have to make dinner and then go perform some student composition for their class.

i've been quite good. things have been more busy than ever though! but i'm enjoying my life here at Laurier, and making music and being a music nerd. i've pretty much been brainwashed into critiquing (my spelling sucks, i know, i also don't remember my times table!!) everything i hear, translating it all into solfege (do-re-mi system, which is a lot of fun and so useful!), clapping and speaking rhythms as a hobbie, and craving classical music all the time and shutting myself from pop music (well not entirely yet. haha. but honestly that stuff really isn't that great!!). jen actually visited me a few weekends ago and her and imelda saw some of the musicness that happens here =)
i'm very glad that i chose to come here to this very school and to study what i love. well not all of it is that good (ie. theory...sucks a lot!), but i'm doing pretty well overall.

i've also been trying to go to the gym!! (except last week, which was a week of endless rehearsals to prepare for concert). that i never thought i'd start doing, but i felt so disgustingly out of shape and unhealthy, that i finally dragged myself and a few friends there with me too.

(...i'm beginning to think that this is becoming really long...!!!)

anyway, in terms of spirituality, i'm doing alright. i'm not going to ccf here (and that will come with a longer explanation in the near future, i promise), but the church i go to here is great, and i also try to go home at least 2 times every month. i've been trying to do more devos and just putting post-it notes of bible verses around my room to remind me now and then of what i've read about for the past week and stuff through my devos. it's pretty helpful.
the friends i hang out with most are all non-christian, and we've had some pretty interesting conversations. they're amazing people and so fun to be around, and i guess it kinda saddened me to know they aren't christian and a few are like totally stubborn about it. i'm just praying now that God will do something with me, and use me somehow amongst this group of friends. please pray for that too - my friends Nancy, Vivian and Christopher (Jen, you've met them!)
Thanks =)))))

Anyway, I REALLY GOTTA GO NOW..eek. but it was really nice getting to post! hope u girls are all doing fantastic =)!!
