a glimpse of sharon world...

week one in waterloo

despite the fact that classes haven't started yet, this week was still crazy. from moving, to cooking to running around campus to sort out my schedule, i came back to toronto feeling totally exhausted. i'm starting to get jitters for the first day of school but even so, i still feel this year will be a good one. it'll be tough, but i'm sure it'll be good. :)

highlights of the week:
- moving into our new house // i didn't think that moving would make such a big difference, but it has. i have great housemates, the nicest landlord (soooooo much better than lousy krafa), a cozy house and cable. what more can i ask for? haha. it's been really great catching up with amy again too. it's nice living with her again, plenty of talks to come this year. :)
- lccf booth at campus clubs day // although it was brutally hot on willison field that day, it was good seeing and meeting new people/frosh. it was also nice connecting with some people at lcf (laurier christian fellowship.) i really hope the two fellowships will have more contact with each other this year. that's been on my heart for a while. it's exciting to think of what God will be doing in both fellowships.
- frosh progressive dinner // it was the first time we've ever done anything like this and i thought it went really well. even though we thought we wouldn't have enough food, everyone was able to eat an adequate amount and we didn't need to go into the 'emergency lasagna'. it was also nice to connect more with some of the frosh and have a chance to talk to them. they're a good group. they also said that our food was better than the food they had been eating all week, so that was a nice compliment. :) first time making fried rice...it turned out alright, but next time i must add more salt. oops.
- getting into the courses i needed // as always, God has been so good. not only did He make it possible for me to take the physiology course without the prerequisite, He also let me get into the lab that i really wanted to get into - even though it was full. (now i can go to lccf!) also, i cross-registered in 'intro to linguistics' DE at waterloo. if that works out (which i think it will) i'll be able to have all my prerequisites for graduate school under my belt by the end of this year. phew. i'm pretty relieved and happy about that. just hope that i'll get the material soon so i don't miss too much in the beginning!
- coming home // no matter what, it's always nice to come home to my family in toronto. :)
