Life is just flying by at the moment, there are so many things happening! Easter camp tomorrow WHOOOO! And turning 18 the day after :) Then we get home and theres a massive stack of work to do and a party to organise :( Everything is going so quickly it's kind of hard to keep up. But it's a good kind of a busy. An exciting one :D

Buzz Buzz
There's a mosquito flying around in my room. It's scary. I can't go to sleep until it's dead. Or it'll bite me and buzz near my ear and wake me up :( Die, you little disease carrying monster, die.

No Ordinary Wings I'll Need, The Sky Itself Will Carry Me
Today's been a good day. Prayed on the train to uni, ended up rambling about the most random things. It was so embarrassing on the train ride back though. Ok I shouldn't say embarrassing...it was more awkward. I saw this girl I had recently met at the station and we were just talking on the platform and I realised we were going to take the same train...meaning I would normally be obliged to sit next to her and talk to her...But like when I make a commitment I really try and keep it so I was trying to think up of all these ways of getting out of taking the train with her but like I couldn't without being rude. As we got on the train I finally just blurted out 'I'm doing this thing for church where I pray on the train...so I have to go...pray *awkward laugh*.' IT WAS SO FREAKING AWKWARD! She was from studentlife though (Christian group) so hopefully she won't think I was just plain weird or worse, making it up to get out of talking to her. Spent the next ten minutes asking God why he put me through that. But yes. My awkward train ride home :)
Before that, had a french listening test which I FAILED. It is SO frustrating not understanding something! I think if I got to have any superpower possible, it would be to understand/speak/read/write every language on the planet. How cool would that be? You could just go anywhere and chat with the locals, and NOBODY could pull that old 'speak in another language so everyone else can't understand thing *coughpreetaandsheharacough*. The ability to speak multiple languages is an incredibly attractive quality I reckon.
Got my braces tightened today as well, and in the process added another person onto my list of potential clients when I graduate: my ortho hahaha :) Now I just have to wait another 8 years until I BECOME a doctor. WHY did I choose medicine?!
Decided to have a party as well. Small party though. But I dunno...it's become a...source of internal conflict (ENGLISH FLASHBACKS). For one, I'm really really lazy and parties take effort. And two, I did a really stupid thing. I posted up on the page that I would be making an exception to my whole anti-drinking thing. REALLY not thought out well. People are making a big deal now and I kind of wish I hadn't said it? I think I'm really weird in that when most people face peer pressure, they cave, but when people place pressure on me I do the opposite. And I guess, like I said above, I made a commitment not to drink until I was 25 and making an exception even for my 18th, doesn't really feel like the right thing to do. Hmm still not sure what to do for this one.
The biggest thing on my mind though has definately been COSTA RICA! I got accepted onto the ISV volunteer program! I'm SO SO SO excited to go but at the same time really apprehensive. I guess, I don't want to get TOO excited in case it doesn't actually happen, like so many other things. Still, I'm so excited anyway. And I get to learn SPANISH! Exciting times ahead!
