BLAAARGH! I'm pretty sure I failed ONE final today... My first final of the semster...

exams are poop.

1. Passion 2010! A mind blowing experience, praising Him with 11, 000 other youths from the local area. Whoever said Vancouver was a spiritual death trap was totally wrong. The Jesus lovin' community here is alive and growing. Also, thanks to Passion (and the bracelets that I saw so many people wearing after) I realized how alive and amazing this community is here at UBC.

2. Fall retreat. I've never been so close to people before, and I really think this was a defining friendship moment for Michelle and I. Appreciate your friends, folks. They'll last to all eternity so take care of each other.

3. Emerge! The winter retreat for UCM (all branches!) was a really great experience. It wasn't spiritually mind blowing like fall retreat, but it was a great break to get to know people I'd usually never talk to and that's exactly what I needed. Also, I'm a snow champion.

4. The murder mystery/wine & cheese/masquerade shindig. Here it is folks, the event of the year! It took soooo long to write and it was a lot of busy busy days but it was all worth it. Fantastic friends all around, acting their roles and having a beautiful time. I love my life.

5. Miguel and Kate got engaged! YES, that's right. ENGAAAAGGEEED!! I have a new sister and I love her! I wish them all the love in the world for their future together. I'm really excited for their whasian babies too.

6. The LOTR Symphony by the VSO. Jeremy's birthday was such a great night. Dressing up, going to see Howard Shore's superbly awesome compositions and coming back to hang out with friends was fantastic. 

7. Speaking of friends, it was so good to get to live with them! Living with Kathryn and Michelle this year has really made it memorable and I love them for it. 

8. Semester two as so-co with Molly has been a semester of HUGE growth. It was really rocky at first but honestly, I'm so glad this happened. Molly and I have become so close and it's because we needed the fights at the beginning. We've both grown so much and become so much more life giving than before. Our work with each other has been a true gift.
