College
Have you ever seen the shirt where it has the word 'college' on it, slightly off center, just that touch to make you wonder why it doesn't look right? Me neither. I heard about it from Graham, and he's pretty good at telling people about stuff he likes.
This weekend I travelled of the island over to the distant, spread out land of Abbotsford. Corey Block once said 'nothing good comes out of Abbotsford'. There is a many things that are radly cool coming out of Abbotsford, from what I've seen. Summit Pacific was the reason for this trip, their program of Discovery Days drawing in young men and women from far and wide. It is a bible college. Now, when I hear 'bible college', it made me think of...well, to be honest, I'd never seen one and never really planned to, so I had absolutely no thoughts on it. Just some far away place some people go away to for a long time. Even though it's a bible college, itis still a college. The atmosphere is great, the students are crazy(They'd have to be to go to school on that hill. Man, stairs EVERYWHERE), and pretty decent food. I liked itthere. It was fun.
Ya wanna hear some stories though? I know I'm horrible at stories...no finish...it just kinda fades to the conclusion. But oh well. So, Saturday morning we all went down for breakfast at 8:30 (there were about a million tiny changes in how they did things, just cuz us prospective students were there. Like, normally on Saturday, they have a brunch thing later, instead of breakfast and lunch.) and Mike went for his coffee. And it was horrible. So, we described it as bwahh, him and michael and me. And I just had trouble spelling Michael. Is that right? Oh man...speaking of that kid, Saturday night, they gave out 5 scholarships of 750$, so he cheers, cuz thats pretty cool. 'Yay yay'. 3 of them go out, him cheering for each one, and then the lady giving them out says this next one is for someone in Sidney. Well, anyone of us 5 getting this is extremely cool, so he cheered louder( I didn't really feel like cheering. tired or something) Then IT WAS HIM!! and hes like oh what and he goes up and suddenly i felt like cheering and it was awesome possom to toss'em and floss'em. And really funny. Most of the students seemed to enjoy our antics. And our hats. Finally found a coffee table for Mike. But it's in a value village in Abbotsford. Great eh? OH and we got to meet Andrew Evans. He's pretty cool. As far as I can tell anyway. Kinda weird to think that one day he will be the youth pastor. MY youth pastor. Either I'm gonna get to know him pretty quick, or I'll be scurrying away to Nigeria or something. It's all just wait and see I guess. And, if anyone of you were ever considering eating a napkin, don't. It's not that bad getting it down (unless it gets stuck) but as it's going through...not the greatest experience in the world. We talked about eating gross things quite a bit. It was peculiar.
Am I going to go to this college of knowledge after I get out? I don't know. It's a school with homework and other stuff I'm not a fan of, but maybe if I live at the school it'll be easier? There's a lot of time to go. It's cool and all, but I'm locked to this island until I graduate, which is unfortunate, cuz I would rather check out everywhere else. Once, I loved the island. And it is a great place. However, it is becoming more and more inconvienient.
For now, I play the waiting game, for the future of my life.
Anyone down for president?
