Quiet Day

I definitely like the idea of Quiet Day, taking the time to spend with God, however the fact that you can't talk to anyone outloud seems a tad ridiculous at times. I mean at lunch when you have something on your face, no one tells you. But at other times people try to communicate through hand gestures, signs, or mouthing words. I mean if you need to ask or tell someone something, shouldn't you be able to?
Anyways I had a great morning, on the bike path by the river. I sat under a tree and read, as well as listened. Then I walked up the path a ways and found a classmate sleeping on a bench with a blanket and pillow, exactly what they told us not to spend quiet day doing lol.

Yesterday, we had a prac week meeting and I volunteered myself to do too much in too little time. I felt really overwhelmed once all I had to do started to sink in, not a great feeling. Then as I was hurrying into lunch, I tripped going up the stairs and hit my knee on the brick, tearing the knee of my jeans, as well as my skin.
This really didn't add to how I was feeling, however, right before I was getting ready to go into town, John reminded me that as prayer partners we should have a prayer meeting. Almost to the point of tears, I agreed. What a blessing, at the time when I needed it most.
In town I bought a new pair of jeans and relaxed a bit, before coming back and starting to work.
I may not be able to finish all the things I have to do, especially not on my own strength, but God can help me, whether its by giving me the courage to ask for more time or placing people in a position to help me.

Sleepy Sunday

I'm feeling so tired today and don't really understand why, my energy has been super low. Had a three hour nap after breakfast and am still not feeling great. I'm not sure if I'm getting a cold or what.

Yesterday was pretty fun though, I went into town and had some noodles from a place called Delicious Noodles and the name of the take-out restaurant did not lie, they were AMAZING!

Then I just hung around the school, after dinner was the student/staff session with Lynton Allen, his pastel drawings really are something! Mine, not so much.

After that we headed to the Briars to meet up with the rest of the students and to get off campus for awhile. Definitely can feel cooped up at CApernwray, even though there is lots of space.
But the night ended in a great game of three on three.

I keep thinking about the month and a half that I have left at school and have such mixed feelings, I honestly feel like I've been here forever and its going to be so weird being at home... I'm sure some surprises are awaiting me too, and soon it will be time to take a leap back into the real world!
