hmm ... so our house meeting on Sunday was definitely an adventure of sorts. First off, my entire room was watchign a movie when someone walked in and told us that we were going to be late for the house meeting. (For those of you who remember teh night we watched Children of Men, it was that movie ... I have now officially seen the end!) So anyways, we basically stood up, stripped and passed our clothes to the right. Granted, it took us sometime to figure out just what was right ...

Anyways, we made it to the house meeting on time and after chowing down on the inevitable fresh snacks (hot bread and meltign chocolate chip cookies) we decided to hand paint a banner to decorate our front hall. you know, the who9le business of placing your handprint on a sheet of paper and then writing our names next to it. Well it seemed like a good idea, but obviously 40 teenagers with paint on their hands can't be trusted not to start a paint fight!!! So the house got a little messy, we got very messy, but it was fun.

Tonight I got a true taste of Pearson. We've been having swing dance classes once or twice a week as an informal activity (we don't get credit for it). So anyways, we wanted to perform it at teh North American National Day Show, but there were waaaay too many couples to fit on stage. So there were auditions adn this story is getting way too long. Anyways, the jist of it is that I made it into the show group and practice was scheduled for tonight at 6:30. But on Tuesday night at 6:30 I also have Christian Fellowship. And at 7:0o tonight there was training on how to use teh sound equipment. And Canada's ambassador to the EU was coming in to give us a presentation. So I had to choose one! In teh end, it worked out well, swing practice was cut short by a half hour so I made it to both that and the sound training session. Anyways, ta for now.
