Ah...haven't posted in a while. Lots of things have happened.
Thursday: Day of the second stage comp. I guess the surprise of the morning was seeing Furino while I was walking towards the office (for the second time of the day). The exam itself went surprisingly well, and a few fellow students attended as well, so that's nice. I didn't feel this exuberant joy after I passed the exam, probably because there was an expectation that I would pass beforehand. Anyway, my mood crashed soon after due to temptations... Then there were the mccf sharing thingie and dinner at some Mediterranean place. This was where I got to know Wayne a bit, and I enjoyed his company. Too bad he's leaving soon... A note about the dinner: I was mighty hungry by that time, so much so that my stomach was in pain. It also didn't help that the air vent was blowing cold air directly to my head (and of course it was blowing warm air just when we were about to leave...). Anyway, I had a wonderful time in the interactions with the fellow brothers and sisters.
Friday: Day of preparing for the Bible games. Let's just say it was a painful experience. So desperate for questions. I didn't even start the programming this day. I don't think I've ever felt this way when serving God, which leads to the question of whether or not my heart was right in this. I struggled a lot with it, and mix that in with the pressure to get things done, plus the spiritual depression I was experiencing...it was terrible. But anyway, I got a break in the evening to go to mccf's end of term dinner in St. Jacob's. First, the dress code fiasco...Kai went all in with a nice suit and tie...I had a shirt and vest just for fun...and Samuel had this ordinary sweatshirt. It's all the same, apparently. Anyway, the food was ok, but the fellowship with brothers and sisters was wonderful (and quite frankly, a bit crazy). The amount of flashing that was going on was crazy, people taking picture after picture after picture...it was fun, though. Wayne and Samuel took interest in the zoom lense of my camera and shot a ton of those close-up pictures without people knowing they're being shot. I ended up having 101 pictures in my camera (most of them not taken by me...heh). Anyway, the fun had to end...I eventually got home at around 9, and struggled my way through the game until 3 in the morning...
