"just a closer walk with thee"

whoa, buddy. yesterday was insane. i wasn't too nervous... until we drove up. but i just sucked it up & marched in there. with audrey at my side. i found my room & met a roommate right away. we aren’t in the castle. we’re in the conference hall. yeah. it’s… livable. we unpacked then went for a wander & one of the staff was giving a tour. we just met people along the way. everyone was so friendly {aka desperate for friendship}. everyone was showing up at different times & i just kept meeting people. i don’t remember half of their names. if i had a nickel for every time i said or heard, “what’s your name & where are you from?” i could pay for the tuition myself. canada is kind of dominating right now. there are so many from saskatchewan. i've met one person from washington. the day was mostly just getting to know people. my roommates are nice. it’s really nice that pretty much everyone is in need of friends. & no one seems to be put off by my sense of humour. so that’s good. i got back to my room at 10:20ish & had a few minutes of facebook time then the internet connection was turned off… bummer. isn't nighttime best for facebooking? we’ve all done our socializing & such. don’t we deserve some internet time? it's now two & the internet is on. went for a walk after lunch then rushed back. we're all sitting around facebooking together & friending each other. youtube is blocked on this network. no more songs to go with the posts. & the connection is slow. better than nothing? sure... being here just feels like a youth retreat or summer camp. the coffee is drinkable. i'm really excited to get started with classes & learn more about my Jesus. it'll be grand. :)

so, that's mostly it. i'm alive & well. i've made friends. i'm quite proud.
