Lent Term Over

School and classes are officially over last week! We're in the middle of lent.... and I've given up meat for either lunch or dinner each day until Easter. It's surprisingly not as simple as I thought, meat in my fridge is going bad, and i've bought much more veggies. However, junk food's slightly gone up.... :( (If you're ever in the UK, buy Sensation's - Thai Sweet Chili crisps/chips, you'll be happy you did :D)

Anyhow, going back to school, I must say it has been pretty amazing, I have met some wonderful people here in Cambridge. My time has been rewarding as the education is very interesting, and I am taking away some framework and practical theories (...hmmm.... :P) on development studies, globalisation, technology and competition policies, and business stratergy. It's great to be in school when you have context as to what and why you want to learn. Furthermore, my time here has been rewarding as I feel that I am in a position to offer back, whether it is spiritually, or through experience in life, I find my experience and maturity 5 years out of school, has taught me to be patient in love and caring for others. And it is most exhiliating to feel in sync and active in His plan.

So this past week, after class was done and I submitted another paper, a few of us from class decided to take advantage of the available theather selection in London, and the student pricing, and not to mention the no class on Monday mentality :D

Anyway, I really liked the musical, I love how different a perspective this story gives when it is base off the facts from the Wizard of Oz. Now I know it's only a story, and it's made purposely this way. But can you imagine how often we jump to conclusion, and new studies even show how our brians love to make shortcuts and assumptions in order that we don't have to test everything and improve efficiency. Like the study where people were shown a bunch of long words, but the some of the middle letterswere taken out. It results show that people just made assumptions and pronounce the word without the missing letter. I am ALWAYS guilty of this, but I must say it serves me right more times than not. Anyhow, to get back on track, Wicked was great, it was really funny at times, not to mention how silly it was. Oh, also been humming the songs... i am definitely a bit of an emo, i seem to hum all the epic moment/sad emo tunes....... then again, maybe it's because they were the best one in the musical... yeah... that's it :D

I also went to Hillsong church. The energy was so intense! But I actually realize how this was not the type of church for me, and had in fact a tough time worshiping and really getting anything out of the service. I really had to try and focus during worship to not notice the really cute base-player... i was like... WOW, female base-player that played with great coolness and style.... The smoke, flashing lights, and non-ciculating air also didn't help as I was just "cream-crackered" :D... but i must say, they put together a pretty tight show. And the music... the music was great... almost like going to a free concert!

Ummm... what else.... Yup, discovering another section of London! Oh man i love this city...... I'll be brief.... Brick Lane Market (4 stars), Covert Gardens (4.5 stars) --> fresh Friuli from tap on a warm sunny day (5 stars). Walking around London and its market on a sunny day is just like an advanture. Never know wher exactually where you're going to end up, but it's almost always good.

Well, until next week... Ummm... Cath is going to be in town :D
