"feels like hooome to me..."

...because i am home! :) *gotta love using lyrics completely out of the context that they're meant to be in* :P

thought of the day: yesterday i hated packing. today, unpacking is even worse.

but i'm home! so that makes up for it. :D

tiff & amy: i'm missing the csi parties already. :( hahaha.

"and i'm freeeeeeeeeee..."

well, my second year at laurier is officially over!!! :D

good grief time passes by fast in university. anyway, this weekend (so far) has been filled with, good talking times with tiff, CSI...and more CSI. :)

things are good. now all that's left to clean up the mess that the tornado made when it came into my room sometime during the past week or so. funny, how it was only my room that seemed to be effected by this tornado... :P

gundy

i love gundy bear (aka. "gundy").

he's my all-time-favourite-all-star-hug-and-squish-i-love-him-all-the-time bear. (he's a white Gund polar bear looking thing.) :) i've never washed him in the washing machine before - i don't trust them. good grief i wash him by hand and after that's done, i wrap him up in a towel and blow him dry with my hairdryer. (or, at least blow him a little dryer). on the COOL setting so his fur doesn't get all messed up, demented, gross and ugly. i've had him ever since i was little and for as long as i can remember i have been calling him the name which i had so lovingly bestowed upon him, gundy bear. i remember when my best-friend in elementary school received a pink gund bear she wanted to name hers gundy too...

i wouldn't let her. he had to either be gundy jr. or another name completely.

before you think i'm a horrible mean bitter person, hear me out. it wasn't that i was being mean. but it was because i didn't want gundy to feel as though he wasn't as special anymore because another bear was going around with his name. Gundy bear was the only "gundy" i knew of - and that was MY name, for MY bear. i was pretty firm about it too. i actually remember getting pretty upset about the whole thing. and this was probably like...when i was 9 or so. it was alright though, she understood. (she was a great best-friend). :)

anyway, back to the point of this blog. so just realized that there is more than one gund bear out there going by the name gundy. now, just as i was little ehh about the whole thing when i was 9, the feelings are kind of coming back again. *sigh* some things never change i guess. gundy (though people make fun of the name when they first find out what my bear's name is) is an awesome name. everybody wants it for their bear too. the only problem is that gundy was my special name for my favourite bear in the whole world...but now it doesn't seem all that special anymore. :(

maybe i should rename him? hmmm....what do you think of the name OscarFred? :) beeheehee (hahaha. still gets me everytime. i love it.)

man. maybe i just need to let the name thing go. (but ack! it's hard!) maybe i need to grow up. (and maybe, i need to get ready for my exam that's real soon). ;)

jerkfaces

i'm sorry nevin, because i know that one of the guys upstairs is your friend. but...things have been getting worse. :(

after living under these guys for the whole of second term (4months) i have come to a conclusion:

the guys upstairs are the biggest jerks. especially the one above my room.

who plays their music so loud that the bass shakes the floor of the apartment downstairs? they do!
who plays their music so loud that you can hear not only the bass, but everything else in the song too? they do!
who plays their music so loud at like 6 30am in the morning? they do! (no joke with the 6 30am. and this is during exam period.)
who plays their music even louder when the people downstairs try to get them to turn it down? they do!

the sad thing is that nothing in this list has been exaggerated. nothing. there's no doubt in my mind that their hearing is going to falter earlier than it would have without the loud music. it's ridiculously loud.

we have tried being nice. we have tried going upstairs and talking with them. we have tried to tell them to turn it down, we have tried everything. but in the end, jerks will always be jerks. and they are jerks. of the biggest kind. and i really dislike them. as for the guy above my room? oh, he's in a category all his own. the thing i'm looking forward to now (on top of finishing my exams) is them moving out.

okay, so maybe some of them are nicer than the others. if that's the case, this blog has nothing to do with them...

anyway, i'm off the library to studyy. for those still in exams, keep on truckin'! it's almost finished! :)

and it all comes down to now

ahhhh.....exams. *biting nails* good luck everyone! :) study hard.

it's time to hit them books. see ya.

p.s. i can't remember how i got through high school having to stay in school until june....

i have a dream.

i have a dream...
       ...a dream that ALL Christian fellowships in Laurier will be united...

i went to Church in the Concourse on sunday, and it hit me. LCCF is pretty segregated from the rest of the Christian community here at laurier. Church in the Concourse had speakers from the different fellowships on campus go up and share with everyone what was going on for the whole year. LCF (Laurier Christian Fellowship), LMCF (Laurier Music Christian Fellowship), LCM (Lutheran Christian Ministries) were the groups that shared. and i guess through the whole thing, God opened my eyes to see how He was working not only in LCCF but in the other Christian groups as well. it felt great to be surrounded by other Christians and singing praises to God right there in the concourse. and even though i didn't know the majority of the people there (i knew like...3) i still knew that we were all family - all connected though our Heavenly Father.

oddly enough, the theme of the night was family reunion. how appropriate.

at urbana they had all the leaders of the different Christian organizations come together to pray for each other. how awesome would it be if the leaders of the christian groups at laurier got together and did the same thing?

anyway, so as i was sitting there God placed a burden on my heart for unity. not only within LCCF but within the Christian groups across the Laurier campus. God has been doing such great things in LCCF and has blessed our fellowship so much. in the same way, He has also been working in the other fellowships as well. imagine, how much more effective we could be on our campus if we all worked together...

imagine the mark we could make in Laurier. just imagine.

i have a dream. only i can't really take all the credit for it...
       "Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done".

unite Your labourers, God.

may this be just the beginning...

man i am so full. hahaha. :P

question of the day:

should i go to the last choir rehearsal or not?

it's optional.
but there is free food.
it's rainy and yucky outside. and cold.
but there IS free food.

oh goodness. this is a toughie. :P
