Yay something happened this weekend

Where to start, where to start.
Lets start friday morning. Had a bunch of classes then ran to the dining hall to make sure that everything was working for chapel that morning since the gym was being used for a tournament. By the time I got there someone had dropped the schools laptop for the 10th time so I had to use mine. The sound only worked half the time but thats not my problem. The next day (saturday) I got up at 7:30 and did some job future research online. Spent the day in the library then that evening watched "over the hedge" in a class room. The DVD player is messed up but its not my turn to worry about that and so I waited for someone to offer the use of another DVD player. Its kinda nice to not fix everything all the time. Also that day I found out that all four rides that I could have had to go to church the next morning were not going and I needed to be there to train some powerpoint personnel. So I borrowed a car. As I tried to leave the parking lot sunday morning I couldn't seem to get the car in reverse, all the other gears were fine though so I pushed the car out of it's stall and went on my mary way. Church went smoothly despite a complete lack of communication to the powerpoint area on order of songs. Half way through the day my Aunt and Uncle showed up unannounced for a tour of the place. They graduated from here a while ago and there have been a lot of changes since then. It was a nice surprise, and I wouldn't mind them doing that when I've got a big paper due.
so that was my weekend. Not overly full but interesting enough.

Why do I do this

I wait so long to put in new entries that I don't remember what has happened that I can put in here. Well I'll give it a try.
The day before I came back to school I ran sound at a friends wedding. Half the equiptment I had to scavange from anyone that would lend it out. But it was a lot of fun and there was some great fireworks afterwards.
When I got back to school I discovered I almost got the same room I had before and did get the same roomie from last year. The past month we've continued to scare ourselves with the similarities we have with each other. I've made a few movies already and have another four to make in the next couple weeks. I'm comfortable enough with the programs and have enough time to do my own video work that it's a lot of fun with minimal stress.
I've also had the oportunity to spend a saturday cutting wood (which felt great), and and evening chasing some cattle around and jumping in front of a charging bull. :) soooo much fun.
A couple weeks ago we had Water Balloon Mania being in charge of video for that can be a little hectic but I kinda enjoy working like that. There were a few new toys I got to play with too. I am also running powerpoint a church around here. I've got to call around every week to get things ready and find out which guy I'll be working with to train for that week.
This past weekend was thanksgiving and it started for me midnight on wednesday. Miss M. and I got on a greyhound and went to her parents for the night, then to the hospital in the morning, my parents after that. The next day we got lost in Edmonton, went back to her parents, crashed a wedding the next day, went to church the day after that and made an appearance at a gift oppening. The day after that we came back here to PRBI. It was very relaxing and a lot of fun.
But now here I am a school again and trying to find a ride into GP every other day again.

Oh, and I almost forgot... I turned 20 this past month. YAY for me
