Well, this weekend is wrapping up, so I guess I should give a run down on what's happened.
Friday- We had our inspection...and we rocked it. You could have eaten off any surface in this house over the weekend. It was obvious that the owners and Realtor were surprised that a group of male, American college students could keep their house in such impeccable shape.
I got a much needed haircut. For the past two years (since Africa) I have been keeping my hair cut in a short faux/military style by getting my sister to trim it every other month. I had gotten Leanne's (Canadian) hair dressing sister to cut my hair for half price. It feels great now.
After the haircut, I had to go to the school library and finish printing off my papers to submit my video assessment, which is actually the first physical assignment we have had to turn in due to Hillsong being a paperless college. If it weren't for my pen pals, I would probably have forgotten how to write. When I finished and dropped off the folder with all my paper work and DVD for the assessment I went home and got myself some sleep before heading back to the church to work cameras for youth. I operated camera 2, the main cam that follows the speaker. I felt like I screwed up a lot, in fact I had dreams later that night that I kept falling asleep for chunks of the service and the director was screaming at me over the coms.
Saturday- I woke up and had the house to myself. I just kind of tried to relax the first part of the day, but I just couldn't take it after a few hours. I became overwhelmed with restlessness and tired of sitting around at home. I found myself pacing around the house like a tiger in a cage, phone in hand texting everyone I knew to see if the wanted to go out and do something. Finally, the rest of the gang showed up and I talked them into going to get to Pancakes on the Rocks in the city. Everyone had been telling me was the bee's knees, it's kind of like an ihop meets the Varsity. The pancakes here aren't like America, they have alot more substance meat to them..and ice cream. After our diner, we explored the city for some photo ops. Stephan let me use his old camera, so I practiced for filming. I'll put a video up when I get a chance.
Sunday (today)- I was supposed to work this morning at church this morning at 7:15, I woke up and my clock said 7. Walking, it takes us around 10-11 minutes to walk to Hillsong...I got there in 3. I got to the control room and there was no body there. I flashed back to what Sophie told me last night "Don't forget to set your clock back an hour!" I jogged back home, poured a tall bowl of cereal, crawled back in bed and tried to laugh at the situation.
If there was one song that I could listen to before I die and leave this earth...this would be it.
