I am ridiculously calm ...

... considering my EE is due Monday am. So early that it may as well be Sunday night. But calm I am. And not for no reason. I'm just not worried. I'm working hard and am focussed and it's going moderately well. So we shall digress from that topic and discuss much more pressing and interesting issues. Such as ... well ... okey I don't really know. The reason I'm here (apart from wanting to update all y'alls) is because my laptop died a few days ago. Well, not really died. But the internal speakers went kaput. Needless to say, I was slightly distressed. I went to see the tech guy and he couldn't fix it, so then I came up here to do some internet support stuff. And ended up having to load some updates. So the updates take about an hour to load. So I move closer to the wall to plug in and my headphones get unplugged (the sound still worked through the headphones) and guess what? The speakers start working again. Weird eh. But nonetheless, now my computer is being updated and I have little else to do (NOT!). But I thought this would be a good break. I'm not even procrastinating guys. Seriously, I'm very relaxed. I've worked hard the past two days. 

So I got back to campus on Sunday night. It was good to see everyone. There is always a big affair when the vans pull in at the beginning of the year and at Christmas. It's strange to think that I'll never see people for the "first time" again. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. So I got back on Sunday night. Saw my roomies, which was good. Marina had already borrowed Yarin's SET cards and was playing with anyone who would join her. Seems that isn't an addiction I'm going to kick =) Monday morning it was back to classes. But the english teacher has been quite sick this week, so on top of my regular free blocks I got some extras. And the music teacher was sick. Gosh, I've had it easy eh? But it's given me time to get things (cough, EE) under control. Monday night I apparently had a fever. Don't really remember it. I was sleeping. Went to bed at 8:30. Slept until 8:00 the next morning. And then everyone kept asking me if I was feeling alright. Which confused me since I wasn't aware of having had a fever. Just one of those things I suppose. 

So tonight we're having a room dinner. Just the four of us and food. Should be good and relaxing. And everyone known how I feel about relaxing! In other news, though One World mania has not quite started, it is about to. Okey, just a quick tangent. I'm sitting in the music room and two of the walls are made of glass. So I'm sitting here typing and I keep seeing the red sweater run past down the stairs, and then a few moments later, its coming back in the other direction. This has happened a few times. Apparently Kandra is running stairs. However, it is quite distracting. Arck! There she goes again. How many times can she make it up those stairs. That is hardcore. Believe me, if you saw these stairs! I can run them about seven times (that is a totally random guess by the way, I have no idea how many times I can run them), but apparently she can run them for upwards of twenty minutes! Wow. Anyways, where was I? One World. Right. So the madness hasn't quite started but I forgot that I had agreed to lead a dance with Yarin. Apparently I am now the leader of Israeli Dance. Exciting eh? Too bad I don't know how to "Israeli Dance"!!! I guess I'll learn. It actually looks really cool. Much like ballet but with much more relaxed technique. Maybe when I'm old and can't focus long enough to do classical ballet I'll do Israeli folk dancing. It's neat. 

Hmm ... what else is happening in the world of me. We had Christian Fellowship on Wednesday. It was wonderful. Absolutely the best Christian Fellowship I've been to in a loooong while. Good stuff is going on here. Really. Along those lines, I have almost finished my application for IHOP next summer. Well, sort of. Let's say I'm making good progress. Not so on my regular University applications, but maybe I'll start on some of that next week when the EE is out of the way. 

That's basically all I have to say. Life is good. I'm much happier to be here this semester. Hopefully I'll be able to "balance" (man, I hate that word) things better than last term when the bulk of the work starts coming down, but so far so good. And One World on the horizon. Yeehaw. Buckle in folks, it's going to be another crazy Pearson semester. And rightly so!
