Thoughts, Thinkings, and Ideas!

Well I'm in the break between the wedding and the banquet. All I can say is that the whole situation is real surreal. Having to dress up and see your sister go down the aisle sure is strange. Then afterwards they had an interesting Korean tea ceremony. Can't say that the wedding went without snags though....
From the mother in law accidently lighting all the candles including the unity candle, me losing my place when reciting my passage and accidently starting to say Love delights in evil.... , to one of the people singing a duet falling off the stage... , to the wedding music not coming on for the couple to walk down the aisle at the end. And yet, with all that, I don't think anyone really noticed because it's a wedding. And what matters isn't the ceremony but the fact that two people who love each other just got married. So cheers and congrats to my sis. GG.

Every year my expectations are quite low. As in I don't really have any. I just know that if you spend time with God you're bound to learn something. However,there were tons of things from this CC that occured that have definetly changed my perspective in things overall. I'm pretty stuck in my ways in terms of how I think. But definetly some challenging aspects of things to think about have come up. It was truly amazing to see an auditorium full of people break out into prayer, and groups, and different groups, and pray for each other, and about anything. I truly believe that the best sharing is sometimes through prayer. I wish we had more time with our small groups, and it's odd that I doubt a single person who went would think the highlight was the bible studies. But overall plenty of stuff to think about. What is the role of culture? What is the role of community?
I've also noticed, I find hugging incredibly awkward. Sure sometimes in the spure of an emotion you may initiate only to figure out you have no idea how to end the hug or what ur supposed to really do during it. It's also hard when you see someone hug everyone goodbye or what not and you prefer a handshake. Like I mean it seems to be less personal. But really it's a lot less forced. That's just me though. But... there is one situation where it's a must. And in that situation I would definetly not avoid.

When we want to, we can't.
When we need it, we won't.
When we feel it, we fight it.
Sometimes I think to myself in a boring lecture if I can tape the prof talking and play it back when I can't sleep. For some reason when I'm in class I'm so sleepy I can start to nod off. I fight it like the plague to stay awake. And yet when I can actually sleep when class is over I'm not sleepy anymore. It's a vicious cycle. I read somewhere that a person doesn't physically need the sleep. Like muscles don't need the rest. I's something psycological. Like we'll go crazy. They tried to keep some rats from sleeping. And the rats ended up losing all their fur and got very fidgety. So what exactly is the purpose of sleep? Some people can go with so much less than others?

What's up with this summer. It doesn't seem easy at all. In fact everything seems like winter except harder. And everything is all warped and out of whack. For instance usually I play CCSA softball where you play softball and witness, but the MLSB at Laurier for coop is about drinking. They have keggers like every night. More than games, and the website keeps track of how many kegs in the league have been drunk. It's kinda funny. Usually get to watch Family Feud, but now I have to watch Jeapordy. No one to watch TAR with. I have midterms almost every week in June, sometimes multiple exams on Saturdays. They split up everyone I know and I'm in a core with people a year younger than me. So I don't know anyone. Had to resort to standing up in class today and yelling if anyone needed someone in their group. Alas, you long for the days you went to summer camp. Or had summers off. I guess, on the up side, the weathers nice and I'm off by August 10th.

Hmm it's odd because usually, especially during work term I was real diligent at reading other people's blogs. However, over the last month I just stopped reading any of them. I don't want to say that I stopped caring about what was going on with other people. I just needed a break to concentrate on some other things. At any rate, it's good to read about what's been going on with people. People are such interesting, and quite full of wisdom if only you had enough time to get to know everyone better, but you don't. So, you got to concentrate on the relationships that you can I guess and just try to steal the wisdom from the rest through reading blogs.
