it's been an... exciting, stressful, tiring, crazy, fun, upsetting... week. lots of things, both studying hard and playing hard.

the midterms were... monsters. i still don't get why they both have to fall on the same day. like ok i understand that it happens under normal circumstances - every sem there's def one or more days that u have 2 exams back to back. but this sem? with the few midterms i have? and 3 have to fall in the same week, with 2 on the same day? it amazes me. honestly. i think profs collaborate with each other simply to ensure that every student has to face this situation every sem, no matter how many exams they have. -shakes head in disbelief-

sigh. i'm convinced my prof hates me. but whatever. that's in His hands, not mine. and i shan't complain anymore abt it, cos i've given it to Him. it's His problem now.

apart from that mad dash of midterms and the crazy deadlines for every other thing in the world... there was Rockapella on Thursday. yeah, Rockapella came down as part of homecoming week... and the concert was free. bwahaha. i mean, ok even if we had to pay, it would have been like $10. but still -beam- they're pretty good. seriously good. they'll be in Singapore on nov 3rd at esplanade theatre, so go check them out if there are still tickets and u have time =) it'll really really be worth yr time.

and there was lifehouse yesterday on state street. yeah. lifehouse. u got tt right. lifehouse. in madison. on state street. $5 for entrance into state street, which i guess, was $5 for the concert since tt was the only thing i was going for haha. caught 4 songs by them, and honestly they sound good. as good as they good on their records/on radio... and the sound system was good too! (very diff from last year, or so i'm told)

so there's the midterm on mon. i haven't decided if i want to hand in the proposal after all. i'm... i dunno. pressed for time, and i dun even know if my prof did the letter after all =_=" it's difficult tracking him down when he's in Paris, oui? Il est très occupé. so that makes it difficult.

and the dead lines. oh the deadlines. never ending flow of maps and GIS and things that make me wanna crash my head into the comp screen, or tear out my eyes. whichever works better i guess. i'm not looking forward to friday. i'm looking forward to sat though, cos that's a FREE DAY FOR ME. finally. hopefully i finally get to sleep till 9. honestly, i haven't had a day to sleep in since... i dunno, forever. weekends are early early days for me, as early as my 8am classes gaaah.

anyhow, today was the last day at 110 n whitney way. my church is moving. not like in the distant future. but like.. next wk. as of next wk, we're in a new building. it's a huge one, gorgeous and nice and everything. but... i guess it really did hit today. the church building that i've been in for the past 2 years? yeah, i said goodbye to it today.

it's hard to believe. God has definitely been faithful, and He's been with me from the start. Even going to church alone for the first semester... God certainly made His presence felt every service, every worship session, every sermon... i mean, of cos not just in church. but certainly He was there with me in that building.

I've grown to love the place... the video cafe in the converted basketball court, the sanctuary with its pews and high ceiling, the kids ministry area with the many rooms... church has been such an important part of my life in Madison that it is inevitable that the church building holds lots of memories for me.

so it's goodbye. goodbye to a building dearly love, and hello to whatever else God has in store for us. The move is a testimony to His faithfulness, and like we talked abt at planet kids today... 'every move I make, I make for You'. indeed, this move is for Him and His glory. it's hard to believe that it finally is here, but it is.

oh. and service times are changing. meaning that i get to wake up like an hour later cos the bus now comes at 8.30am instead of 7.30! (i mean, I could go for the later service but yeaaaaah need to study haha) and... since DST ends next sun at 2am... I GET ANOTHER HOUR OF SLEEP! YAY to two extra hours.

could have used the extra hours this week though! would have liked it to study more . grrr. haha
