- Class trip to Stonehenge, Winchester, and Hindhead (England's landscape is different than that of Canada's but beautiful)

- Classmates are of similar mindset on sustainability. This is exciting because we're going to have the opportunity to learn and combine our ideas in attempt to tackle some of these new problems. This class of ours were handpick by our professor, and I think it shows as the consistency and genuineness of each person is amazingly similar. It's like I told one of our classmates, it's like we only knew each other for a couple days over the weekend, and it's like we have these established friendships that we never knew we had.
- Practiced and am invited to play for Cambridge Blues Ice Hockey team this year, Wow! Never thought I'd play on a varsity team, but worry about the time commitment. Want to do other things along with hanging out with classmates :D
- Found this amazing store call "Poundland" perfect for students as I need some hangers, snacks, and cloths. So happy to have found the UK version of the dollar store here! And it has just about the same type of items you find back at home! Time to raid it when I need to do some one off projects!
- Got really sick yesterday after having a bad dinner. Seriously, the last time i remember feeling this sick was first year in University when a friend had Chinese food imported from Toronto, and that night I was in the washroom! This time, I had my garbage can next to my bed, slept like 14 hours, woke up like 4 times, try to use the washroom, but no go.... :( Not to mention, training on ice for hockey on Sunday for 4 hours, my body decided to take care of what ever was in the stomach that my muscles were SORE! I mean, SORE! it was like I had arthritis in my muscle, i couldn't close my right hand! Glad God is in control of things I can't control....
- Classes have been perfectly entry level so that I can appreciate the fundamentals of the Macroeconomics, Globalization, and Energy Policy. Seriously, if anyone feels like taking a week of class with me, feel free to audit for free, it's almost like signing up for a conference! Except free, and much to take away. I see how here in Cambridge, they really value academia for the sake of learning instead of just trying to squeeze every penny out of you. Mind you things aren't exactly cheap here.
- A line I heard that has kind of stuck with me, and I'm paraphrasing, " When you get to know Him more, you are going to understand who you are more, what you am made for." (Because we are designed in His image).
