Quenched.

Well yesterday was a burnt out day. I was tired from friday night trying to cram in some social information for my social diploma thursday night from 10:30 pm to 12:30am!! Didn't help too much, so once again never study when your tired, it doesn't work, but I did it anyways. The last few questions of my diploma I ended up speeding through cause I really wanted to get out of the gym and highschool. I missed my friends, I'm such a hypocrite.

So after the 'last lunch' with my parents (we had dimsum @ Jumbo) and my craving for shaved ice since bake&cake opened (really nice place-check it out) to the airport we go! 4:05pm was my flight and I arrived the airport at 1:30, a little too early for my liking since Edmonton's airport is really dull and boring. Anyhow I guess it was sad seeing my parents be a tad sad seeing me for the last time until two months later, but it was pretty amazing to be alone in the airport.

So take off! I thought the plane would like blew up any minute like in the movies since it was tilting and stuff, but nahh I just always think things from drama. Then at 4:38 I saw the rockies!!! like wow. how fast must the plane be going that in like 20 minutes or less you see a place which takes usually 3 hours to get to?!?! pretty sweet. then arrival, descending rushed my adrenaline a bit, but since we were to put our stuff away, couldn't journal about it at THAT moment. But yes safe trip none the less; I like flying.

Arrived at UP house, well I didn't judge it, I thought it was pretty decent compared to other's peoples' opinions about it, and that night felt like a slumber party with people I just met, but a slumber party that will last the next 6+ weeks! But I was really burnt out, and it was unbelievable having finish a diploma only mere hours ago to coming to Vancouver which was really teleportation. Edmonton was 19C, Vancouver was 19C; Edmonton was 4 ish when I left, and Vancouer was only 4:45.

Right away we met all the other interns, some of the camp directors and board of directors. So many names and information, it was difficult to absorb it all. But we kicked it off with a BBQ and a "consequence" game.

Today is Saturday and its pretty chilled so far, had orientation this morning with Andrea (a very hip & cool lady that brought us for coffee on Commercial drive) and now me and Adoria are chilling in the house alone, soon to hang out with Pjoe if it works out!

God's grace is amazing, and all the encouragement we got brought us peace, joy and hope.
