My life in Arms

I don't know why thats the title.
So I know its been a few days...sorry:-)...
So since the 15...thursday...

So on Thursday. I had my playwriting class, which was good, and my teacher enjoyed some of the stuff me and another girl wrote, which was encouraging.
I went home and worked on my script that may turn into my final. It is turning out better that I expected, so hopefully it will make me famous. heh

On Friday, I didn't really do anything during the day. I slept till 12, then had some lunch. Then Cate and I went to the park, and (I feel like) I got some pretty awesome shots:
Then Kim and I went to our very first rugby game. It was a fundraiser for Hillsong. It was between the Unders(under 27) and the Overs(over 27), and for the first time the unders won! We met some girls from our small group, who are really awesome, and just hung out and enjoyed each other. I found out that I really like Rugby. It goes much faster and smoother than football, and is much more actually physical.
On Saturday, my British class went to Oxford. It was so weird to be a uni student visiting there. It made me feel not as smart. heh. Also it was their version of Convocation, called Metriculation. It was so picturesque. The students have to wear these strange robe things, and go and bow before the head master and promise to be good students. We took a walking tour around the town, which is so old and beautiful. We had lunch at this Moes type place, which made me miss home a little, then I bought a scarf from this little street vendor(surprisingly my first while I've been here). Then we took a tour of Christ Church College, which is a part of Oxford. It was stunning. I cannot imagine being a student there.

Then we came home and spent 6 hours putting dreadlocks in my hair.
On Sunday, we went to Hillsong. Trains were not running from the station we usually use, and we missed our train. We decided to take a bus/tube to get in, which ended up taking like 2 hours, so we missed the service we usually go to. We met some friends and had a meeting/lunch, then went to the next service. It was so meant for me to be there. The message was on prayer, and trusting God to use you to make a difference. He had us each stand as he called out things we were doing (i.e. teachers, politicians, artist, family, ect) and prayed for us. I am so sure that God is going to use me as a teacher and artist, and this just helped to confirm it. God is also calling my to trust Him and His timing in other parts of my life. It was very cool

Today, again, I didn't do much. I had Devising, which was ok, a little frustrating because i couldn't get my creative brain working, but still fine. I then to the grocery store, and then came home and had crock madams and cheese cake and white wine for dinner. very good.

Sorry that was so long, I'm going to be better this week!
