*Note – This post was supposed to be posted a few weeks ago. New blog coming soon!
Yes, the weather is getting warmer!!! Were still buried in snow, but it’s sunny and clear skies most days now =] since New York a lot of things have gone on. Although the ski instructing season is over, we had one last trip, up to Kitchener for a race to end the season. I managed to get a lift to Boler in the morning as the buses don’t run at 6:30am =O I ended up saying over at Apol and her daughters house, we watched the Olympics that night then had breakfast muffins in the morning for breakfast! Had a good mornings skiing then occupied myself with organising everyone for the race as my student didn’t actually turn up. Stayed at Alpo’s house that evening for dinner which was nice.
There have been a few tense hockey games over the last few weeks, the lounge has been crammed every time and everyone gets so hyped up! I still can’t believe our luck in the last few minutes of overtime in the final against USA!!! I must say, I’m proud to be part-time-Canadian!!
Me, Jessie, Derek, Olivia and Nick have FINALLY finished our EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment). After many hours in Taylor library, meeting up and many hours of working late into the night we finally finished it … looks so professional =]
Jim picked me up on Thursday night as I was staying over at his and Apol's that night and we were leaving at 5:30 Friday morning to go for a day’s skiing up at Devil’s Glen. Spent the evening with Apol’s family which was very eventful! Left the next morning and travelled for about 4 hours up north which I slept through most of. It was the most beautiful day, the sun was shining and the snow was crisp … ahhhh =] me, Apol, Jim, Frank and Alice skied down a few blue runs for a warm up then me and frank headed over for the double black diamond runs!!! The runs were actually quite steep and I spent l=most of the day working on my off-piste skills and had a few eventful encounters with some moguls. It was quite a sad day at the end as I said goodbye to some great friend’s id met over the course of the ski season. Got back to deli that night quite late and spent the rest of the night working on a dance with Brittany in the formal lounge for her soph interview which was great fun!
Spent Saturday working on my dissertation in Einstein coffee shop on campus and went to see Western Mustangs hockey play-off against Lake Head with Ashley, Chin, Linda and Paco in the evening. It was quite a violent game with three major fights breaking out … anyhow; we lost 5-2 … grrr. Sunday was again another gorgeous day! Breakfast out and church as usual with the gang in the morning, then over to Pete and Karen’s in the afternoon for lunch and a chill.
Went down to the Wave on Sunday night with Lizzie, Ashley and Braden to see Article one – a local Christian band, and to hear a speaker. It was a really good night, started off in concert with some of Article one’s new music and ended with a worship session after the speaker. Dave Lane was the speaker and he clearly demonstrated how people tend to focus on building earthly treasures for themselves when we should be focusing on those heavenly spiritual treasure … it’s like a piece of rope that goes on forever, most people focus on the tip of the rope … what about eternity? He spoke on a lot more stuff that was really relevant to me also and I defiantly felt the Holy Spirit coming over me that night, it was all I could do to stand up at times in the end worship session. I suppose this is all part of Gods plan for me to change my life and get back on track, that’s what I’ve felt like he’s been trying to do this year … only realised this in the past few weeks.
