first day blues

Winnipeg, Manitoba

Well well I'm sitting here in a dorm room at Canadian Mennonite University, which is the most permanent home I'll know for the next three months. It's strange to hear the sounds of excited new students arriving -wide-eyed and nervous, watching as parents pull mini-vans up to the doors and begin the numberous trips it takes to move things in, and of course hearing the screams as friends reiunite after a summer apart... ah the first week of school is upon us.

For me it's a wierd experience. For the first time in 18 years I have not been a student. And to be honest I'm fine with that. I love school but I welcome the change. But at the same time I feel a bit left out. I believe yesterday was registration day at Columbia Bible College, my old school, and I caught myself wondering what I'd be doing at that point in the day if I was there. But I'm excited to be here, now. We have another week and a half before our students come, and until then I will have a lot of fun with the other site leaders, because I'm having a blast!

Oh and by the way, we went go-carting today on the fastest indoor go-carts I've ever been on, and it was so much fun. I like having fun.

I think I'll head outside to soak in yet another breath taking prarie sunset.
