Today was the beginning of one of the largest adventures of my long 18 years of life...YWAM. I moved in yesterday so I guess you could say that the adventure started yesterday but not a whole lot happened so I'm just gonna say that it started today. First off I have to readjust to town living. Street lights, trains. well mostly just the trains. My first night I got about 2 hours of sleep between the train that went past what seemed like every 45 min. I am so not used to that!
I am one of 5 students in this DTS. I am the only girl. Which really isn't much different than living at home except for the fact that none of them are my brothers. At least there are other girls in the house, There is a young couple with at little 1yr old daughter, and then two Korean girls. As of right now I have no roommate but if a girl mission builder comes than she will share my room. The past two nights have been a little boring, spending them in my room alone, over time that might change, but I have a real hard time getting to know people, so it might take a couple days.
Today we just spent time getting to know each other and Blackfalds. We played a couple games to help us learn how we all think, and to learn YWAM's 17 values, haha to bad none of us really read our handbooks...whoops us. This first week we will spend learning what it means to live in community and what it means to love. I am excited to tomorrow when actual classes start! I never thought that I would say that I miss school!
This evening after supper I realized that I am a lot smarter than I thought I was! haha but then again this is just the beginning.
Here at YWAM we are all put on what they call "work duties" they split us up into teams of two and we are responsible for certain chores. I am on lunch clean up and house clean up. So I have to clean up after lunch and then clean the bathrooms, vacuum, sweep, mop, that kind of thing. I am on that with a guy names Kevin. He is from California and is in the Biblical Worldview School. There are Ten people living in the "Red House" (bet you can't guess why it's called that). Two Koreans (Anna & Juhee), Two dutch (Becky & Niek), One Portuguese (Dan), One American (Kevin), 4 Canadians (Chris, Eli, Brandon, Me) and then Becky & Dan's daughter. It makes for cool culture.
I will try keep this as updated as I can, but there are NO guarantees. We will be traveling a lot so I may not have internet access all the time! I will try make it at least once a week! I will end most of them just highlighting interesting things that I have learned, either about myself, life, God, or really anything.
1. I am more of an introvert than I thought
2. You can't scrub off the words that are indented on the inside of rice cookers
3. That it is possible to take a shower in a minuet and a half
4. I am NOT a morning person, even is I am up I do not start functioning at a normal rate until lunch-ish
Anyhow tomorrow is a bright and early day! So long till next time!
