pseudo drumming.

well, i'm finished day 2 of my training at Yes I Can. i'm pretty exhausted. i went from waking up at 12, to waking up at 6 30 (if i wanna shower in the morning). the people that are there are pretty nice, but sometimes it feels wierd. whatever. but i'm really glad that steph is there with me. :) i miss ysm. i compare training here with the training there, and it's different. i miss ian. the head woman person's name is shannon, and she is definitely not ian. at all. i miss the christian community centre. this place is pretty pagan. or at least some of the people are. hahaha. it's just really different. but then again, it has only been 2 days. i won't jump to any conclusions just yet.

quite honestly, i'm getting a little scared for next wednesday. (that's the first day of work). there seems to be so many things to keep in mind. we were learning about the ABCs of behaviour and whatever. forward/backward learning. hhaha...and i'm so tired i don't even take in half the stuff they talk about. but yes. i'm getting a little scared. because, each kid is so different i truly have no idea what to expect at all. AT ALL. so if y'all could please pray for me, that would be greatly appreciated. :)

oh yes. as for "pseudo drumming". so guess who's the drummer for worship next sunday...hahaha. me. hahahaahha. hahahahaha. hahahhahahahhahahahaha. i think this is funny. :) so today for worship practice tim was mentioning how there was no drummer since people are away at camp (which btw, i am going to, then leaving, then going back to). :) so completely jokingly i was like "i could play drums". well, he took me up on that offer good, and the next thing i know joanne's at the piano and i'm sitting at the drums!! aiyah!! well, there's always a first for everything. i'm not very good - i basically taught myself how to play (aside from like, 2 beats). it's funny because during the last three weeks i've been a singer, pianist and now a drummer. God is definitely pushing me out of my comfort zone. and i'll admit it's a little awkward and i'm definitely not "comforttable" (because i'm not in my comfort zone), but if God wants me to be there this sunday, that's where i'll be. and i'll give it my all. because that is what He deserves.

well, it's bedtime for me...i've been going to bed extra early lately. g'nite! :)

i own you spider solitaire. again.

i did it again! hahaha. i won spider solitaire (the hardest level) again. woohoo!!!!

i am smart. i am cool. i am tired.

okay. time for bed. g'nite. :)

post-exam rambling.

i'm done! i'm done! *yay!!!* i think i did okay, although there were some questions that i just wasn't sure about. however, there were more of them that i was sure about...so i'm thinking that's a good thing. i felt comfortable going into the exam. and i felt alright coming out. so....yah. we'll hafta see how it goes. :) *crossing fingers*

lemme see, tomorrow i've got a doctor's appointment at 11:30am and worship team practice at church at 1. i'm thinking i may be a little late for that, but i'll do my best. saturday line-ups at doctor's offices are bad news. good thing my doctor has the discovery channel on. hahaha. last time i watched a whole episode of some animal/pet show. something to look forward to on a saturday morning...maybe i'll squeeze a little sharon-shopping in? maybe. probably not. i'm just not in the mood. although i do wanna go to ikea. especially since they're having their big-mama sale these days. hmmmm....if i go to ikea i'll hafta go with mommy though. that parking lot is crazy. ehh. we'll hafta see. :P

anyway, i'm outta stuff to blog about. hahahaha. my blogs are shallow now. mmm...too bad. i guess if you really wanna know what's going on sharonworld, you'll *gasp* have to ask me yourself. :P

one more thing...good luck on your exam joshers! i'm sure you'll do great! :D

oh yah, thanks for all your prayers guys. my exam wouldn't have gone the way it did without them. :)

summer studying.

argh. my exam is tomorrow. and i need a break from studying.

the weather is so nice outside today. :/ and i'm in my room studying psychology. whee. :( since i'm not outside physically (getting a tan. ahahha. or trying to get one.) my mind has been taking trips to past summers. especially last summer - since it's the easiest to remember, because it was only last summer. i miss it. i didn't have school, i knew where i'd be going the next year, i was working - so i didn't feel so unproductive - and, did i mention i didn't have school? argh. school in summer is no good. it's so hard to concentrate. especially when it seems that everyone else isn't. my neighbour's kid is running outside in the backyard making all these noises. even highschoolers are off school now!!! i'm not really complaining, since i kinda put myself into predicament (of having to take summer school this year), but still. it really sucks. (ok. i'm complaining now.) heehee.

i remember the last time i took school in the summer. oh, the days of intro to computer studies. i had mr. koperwaz as my teacher. what a nut. he made us do stretching exercises. hahaha. what the crap? it made no sense.

oh well, i should remind myself that i am lucky to be able to even get an post-secondary education. there are far more people in the world that don't even have the opportunities that we have here in canada, and there are many in canada who aren't able to go to university, or school for that matter.

so on that note, i'm gonna go back to studying now. my exam is tomorrow from 7-9. i'll blog sometime in the future how it goes. hopefully it will go well. *crossing fingers*

wish me luck! or better yet, pray for me. :) *thanks*

can't sleep.

it's before 8am. on a saturday. but i can't sleep. why? because i have too much on my mind. and my "heart is heavy" (as nichole nordeman so eloquently put it).

what's on my mind? my growing suspicion.*

*i know my suspicion could be totally wrong, and i really hope that i am, but the fact is that it's still there. and it's growing.

open road.

i'm sitting here, but i don't really know what to say. the past week has had it's ups and downs, but i think that i managed to through it okay. i even managed to learn a rachmaninoff prelude - and while it's not really the best right now, it'll get there with perseverance and practice. :) last week was generally good...filled with eventful nights such as "meeting the other counsellors at Yes I Can", "boardgames at allis" and "lccf toronto cell group" (which was basically our whole fellowship except for the few that are in loo this summer, plus andy). heehee. not to mention watching the clue movie at my house (which, by the way i think is hilarious). ahhahaha. "i am a singing telegram". that was the best part of the movie. me and liz used to roll on the floor laughing our pants off.

speaking of liz, sunday night i talked to her, which was really good because i wasn't in the best of moods. i wish and hope that she'll come home soon. i would have probably went down to see her sometime this summer, but due to the fact that i'm paying for my online course this summer, i have no money for an airplane ticket. which really sucks. especially since the price of my course i like...equivalent of getting at least 4 or 5 round trip tickets. boooooooooooooooo. :P so in september i'll work super hard, not have to take a summer course, and hopefully i'll be able to visit my sister wherever she'll be living next year! :)

anyway, so this week was a pretty good one, because i've realized some things.
- as suspicious as i may be, i won't say anything. just yet.
- it may not be the greatest idea to let everyone in on everything.

so my blog ends here. these realizations are vague (and not entirely related to each other) but i know where i stand, i know myself, i know what i have to work on, i know what i have to do. and after all has been said and done, i feel not so boxed in, and quite content. :)

okay, off to study for my psych midterm which is coming up soon...

have a blessed day. :)

september-june

happy ninth. :)

storytime...

Once upon a time there was a piece of pie with no brain. one day this just-pie-no-brain was walking through the woods when out popped mr. who-flung-poo-brown-speck-on-the-wall from behind a tree. he started throwing grapes at the poor piece of pie. the pie yelped and started running for dear life. mr. who-flung-poo-brown-speck-on-the-wall started chasing the pie with his fast, muscley legs (perfect for playing the organ), meanwhile still throwing grapes at the piece of pie. since pie had no brain, it naturally ran faster because it was lighter, so after awhile mr. who-flung-poo-brown-spot-on-the-wall realized that chasing pie was a waste of time, so he stopped and started walking, enjoying the beautiful landscaping of the woods. suddenly, a boogieman jumped at poor mr. who-flung-poo and punched him in the face. then following the trail of grapes (left by mr. who-flung-poo when he was chasing pie) boogieman found pie and...eventually ate him.

moral of the story: i have yet to come up with something witty to put here.

i miss you liz. hope this one made you laugh. :)
