A pretty Exciting week
As the title says, Ive had a pretty exciting week. Ill fill you in on the exciting highlights.
For starters, the sun came out this week. (photo - first glimpse of sun)
Ive connected Up skype on my computer. That was exciting.It was such a great move, now i can talk to Mum and dad in New Zealand and Ruben in Japan for free! Im suprised that not many people are using it. Come on its free for starters, and it means you can acutally talk to people instead of having to type on silly MSN. Ive used it alot lately, not that im totally rejecting the telephone in my room. Thats good for calling no skypers. And i found this telediscount thing thats real cheap. I called Chris last week in NZ for 5eurocents per min, and Jane in australia for 2eurocents per minute. It was so good talking to them, made me pretty homesick of course.
Ive been surfing the net alot this week for flights and stuff, and sussing out where i want to travel to and stuff while im studying and also when i have free time in June to travel. I have some pretty fun adventures penned into my diary now. In a few weekends time im going to Switzerland for a long weekend to see my brother and hit the slopes. Two weekends after that im going to Germany to see a friend who was an exchange student when i was at highschool. I have also booked flights to italy and to london in the first week of May with Rosy. Its going to be so so so so fun, The thought of travelling makes me so excited! I talked to my parents the other night and they are letting me tag along with them in June. I imagine i will go to England for a start, and then explore France and Spain with them before i head back to NZ. Also exciting, is that Sarah Carey is going to come and stay with me in Utrecht in May. Its going to be so fun to show her the sights in Holland, and it will be alot warmer and the tulips will be out. Also we shall be celebrating her birthday.
Also in relation to travel, i found out that my friend Steve from Australia is planning to come to New Zealand for about three weeks in either July or September. I met Steve in Thailand two years ago and havent seen him since then. But we remained pretty good friends so its going to be so exciting to finally see him again. Something to look forward to when i get back to NZ. Also i think that Jane and Ruth are going to be in NZ too, so that will be super cool.
Im getting pretty underway with schoolwork so im alot more relaxed about everything there. Ive done alot of drawing, and conceptual thinking, so i imagine that next week ill be ready to start actually sussing the printmaking facilities and start producing some actual prints.
Shopping day on Friday was exciting of course. I explored the markets and the shops hunting down something to send Trudy for her birthday. Shes turning 21 which is a pretty big occasion, so i thought i better go out of the way and do something nice for her. I ended up getting her these cool sleeve things (from H&M..my fave shop) and this cool leather cuff from the market. I hope she likes it and is stoked because it was an absolute mission to post it. I had to line up at the post office for more than half an hour. 1o minutes...then i realised that i was in the wrong line..then about half an hour in the right line. Shes having her 21st the following weekend which im guttered ill be missing.
Saturday night Rosy and I missioned to Crossroads for a service called 'Godspace'. We actually got there on time which was pretty exciting. The service was focused on worship and prayer, and the sermon was based around 'Faith, Hope and Love'. It was just so awesome, i absolutely loved worshipping and praying and spending some good quality time with my creator. Im really beginning to like Crossroads. The worship is great, because the sound is really good and they play really varied music..which is a nice change from the same ol Hillsongs at Apostolic. And i find the sermons simple but effective and really challenging.
So theres the exciting highlights of my week. Hope you had as much fun reading about them as i did writing about them.
