That was odd...
My life is frequently full of odd moments. For example, I was talking to a friend this past week, and telling hime all about my language and literacy class. The following is an excerpt from our conversation:
Life has been, as is now apparently the norm, incredibly busy. According to my timeline, my thesis proposal is to be done in two weeks. Ahem. Well - I've got 3 paragraphs written... that counts, right? I need to bus down to the Wonk and hide out there for a while and try and get some work done. Edmonton is just too full of fun and fabulous people!
Thurday night I went for Thai food for the first time, and it was awesome. I can't wait to try more of it!! Friday was the Rush game, and we won! wOOt! That's our 4th win of the season. Such a great game - and there was a wicked fistfight. I love a good scrap! Yesterday afternoon my small group and I went to help the Food Bank fill their truck for their current drive. Things were a little slow at first, so we went into Zeller's and bought sidewalk chalk, a frisbee, and a pool noodle. We drew on the asphalt, we threw the frisbee around, and... we played the animal game!! It was SO fun! Nothing like wailing on your friends with a lime green noodle. :) If you watch Shaw on Monday at 4, you might see us - one of the volunteers was a Shaw cameraman, and he shot some footage. None of the noodling, though. ;) Then last night was coffee with a friend, which was very fun. The 2nd Cup by MEC has the most beautiful painting of irises done in oranges and yellows that would look great in my place. Anyone have $600 they'd like to loan me to buy a painting? ;)
Today was church, which was great - we wrapped up Esther. Lyle told us to 'always remember, and never forget' to celebrate God's goodness. There's so much sadness in our world (and today we heard about a lot of people's sorrow - my heart hurt for them), and it is right to mourn for that - but it is also right celebrate the blessings. I think I might need to host a "celebrate the blessings" party sometime!!
So that's life at the moment - tomorrow night Megs and I are baking sweet rolls, so I can take them into my stats class on Tuesday morning. It should be fun!!
Later days!

It's [the class] really, really, really, REALLY boring. Though I did have the opportunity to say "The pigs are stacked! Who stacks pigs?" and "They sacrificed the pig to the pig god!"Yes. I kid you not - we were looking at a picture for a story elicitation task, and the prof asked what we thought was happening. My first though was "they sacrificed the pig to the pig god!" I ask you this: would YOU want YOUR kids doing a story elicitation task where animals sacrificing one of their own was an option?
