Wow Time Flies!

It's been a while since I've been able to post, I do appologize. Although I do have a valid excuse. It just so happens that at school we are only allowed 20 minutes two times a week of internet access, and after I have read and responded to my email, my time seems to be up. Although I am here now. I'm in a little city in Northern England at the local liberary. Everything over here is amazingly old and beautiful, although even though the history is very old, everything is very well kept, and built to last. Unlike our wooden homes built in a 2 month period, things over here are still made of brick and stone and take some time to errect.
School is going very well, I've been meeting a lot of new people, from many countries of the world, all different. Although the majority of the students are from North America and about 29 of the North Americans are Canadian. I might be able to keep in contact more than I thought.
We've had lectures everyday 4 times a day and are in the classroom close to 5 hours daily. Although the information is so interesting. Although I'm glad I'm keeping notes b/c there is no way I can remember everything.
God has been teaching me a lot about myself, through the classroom but also just through circumstances and trial and error. I'm hoping to come back with a better attitude. Anyways, this is cheerio for now. Hope you are all doing well!

opps!

We are now out of the big city and are in a smaller city, although it's still bigger than our cities back home. Although we did see the country side on the train ride here. It's beautiful and lush. Although the weather is usually overcast and rainy. But when the sun comes out it's beautiful and warm. well, just want to ask for prayer, Sarah woke up sick today. She's pretty bummed out. Anyways, don't have a lot of time, got to go.

We Saw Country!

London! Very cool!

We made it to our destination after many hours of sitting in airports and riding on airplanes. Our flight was delayed 6 ours past the time we were to arrive, but our plane had some malfunctions! I've come to realize I don't like to fly! But so far our trip has been good. We've been in London for 3 days now, and the city is beautiful, yet so compact. I don't think I've seen a foot between houses. Yet everything is either paved, or made of brick and stone. I haven't seen a wood home with plastic siding yet. It's so cultural here and fashion is very much on everyone's minds. Most of the men are always dressed up in suits or very fancy jeans. and yes Man purses are in! And most of the people smell so good.
we have seen the Tower Bridge, (very neat, the architecture in this city is the most beautiful I have ever seen. so much detail and time goes into everything.) We have got to see Big Ben, which is actually the bell, not the clock itself. We kind of saw Buckingham palace. looks like a lot of the other buildings. and we saw the Thames and a lot of other stuff. Anyways, this is over and out for now. Keep me and Sarah in your prayers. We head out of the city tomorrow and start making our way to the school tomorrow morning. God Bless!

Good-byes Suck!

It's starting to hit me that I have to say good-bye to people before I leave. I had to say good-bye to my best friend only moments ago, and I won't be able to see her for a whole year and a half. B/c she leaves on a journey of her own 8 days before I return from mine. And she doesn't get back until June of 2006. To be honest the whole situation sucks. But I guess that's the way it has to be.

"The Final Countdown!"

Last time I checked it was 3 weeks until my departure for a big adventure, now the countdown is at 4 days! I can't wait to go and experience new things. I have to be at the airport by 8 am on Saturday! I probably won't get any sleep the night before. The only thing I have left is getting ready and packing! Yuck! I hate packing. But that's the price you have to pay for wanting to have fun! Well, I'll keep you posted.
