one month... the boring version...probably with lots of spelling mistakes
wow.. I've been here exactly one month ! I figured it was time to tell y'all how I'm doing and what I'm doing etc. Hmmm... Well my days are mostly the same. After three weeks of crazy insomnia I FINALLY adjusted my sleep so that I am going to bed at a reasonable hour, sleeping through the WHOLE night and getting up at a reasonable hour. Woop Woop. In the mornings I usually do school work. I have lots of favorite locations where I love to work...sometimes I like to go to the park and lay in the sun to read... especially my Early Church History text book (because I don't really understand it, and chances are I'll probably fall asleep at the park). When I have to listen to lectures I go downtown where I can get wireless or sometimes I stay home. I haven't figured out yet where I'm going to find a nice quiet place to write essays... that will be next weeks investigation! I don't do much else in the mornings (pretty boring life eh?)- I had been going to physio three mornings a week, but now I'm a physio graduate...somehow I'm not a backpain graduate..go figure?
At noon I catch the bus downtown. I really enjoy riding the bus. When I lived in Saint John I absolutley hated it! I would get sick to my stomach and would have to sit in the front seat. I find my bus rides are like the quiet times of the day... life is sooo busy here.. people are always rushing here, but the bus is quiet. I can think, or read and sometimes clear my head space to pray. So that's a good chunk of an hour. From 1 until 2:30 I hang out at the shoebox place where we give out shoeboxes full of food to the street kids that come by. There's regulars so I've gotten to know quite a few of them and they usually come to stay for the full hour and a half. Usually from three until 4:30ish I go downtown to give out food or hang out with kids..whatever God has in store. It's different everyday. Then I catch the bus home. I'm going to be teaching Sunday School and co-ordinating a youth group at a church here so I imagine my evenings will be spent focused on that- I also joined an evening bible study. I hope to get out and maybe see some tourist type things maybe this month. I'm definitley settled...getting to know some people.. it's not home, but the west coast is a good place.
