mikao's world

it is a lovely afternoon, i am taking a little break from working on my Bible study for wednesday, hopefully i can wrap it up for the most part today and work on the outline handout. have a few more books to peruse and pull a few more points out of as well. I am learning some extremely interesting things.

yesterday we had a new roommate move in. her name is amy, she was a student in the college last year but this year is working in moose jaw. she is just here until Christmas break, her roommate in moose jaw bailed on her but she has a new one in january coming. i did not know her before and hadn't talked to her before yesterday, but she seems like a really lovely girl so it should be fun. joanne is lamenting the loss of our office as it's now amy's bedroom, but i think she'll survive for a month and a half without it. later i told lowana that amy had moved in, and she was like "oh, you mean the prettiest girl at briercrest?" and I was like, yup, the prettiest girl at Briercrest is now my housemate. how cool. there are so many people that you see all the time and never get to hang out with and think are neato, amy is one of those.

last night my friend amanda and her husband mike, who were here for college my second year, came to supper along with a couple of other people who knew them in their briercrest days. i hadn't seen her in almost two years so it was nice to have them here. it is amazing to me how some things never change and how consistent people remain, they are often exactly as you remember them. i am always of the opinion that i am constantly changing, never a finished potter's piece, but there are those aspects of our personality that are so strongly constant. often i wish I could meet myself, as i am today and as i was in the past.

then after amanda and mike left, i had lowana, kaia, leanne, and leanne over from the dorm for a sleepover. we watched a movie together with joanne as well, and then we all bedded down in the tv room downstairs and had a good old sleepover just like you remember from grade six. : ) they had a super time which is cool. i never had any friends who lived in houses when i was in college but i always thought that it would be fun to, and I think they think it's fun, so that is neat. I miss living in the dorm though and being just down the hall from them.
