Saturday, December 08, 2001 Happy 19th Birthday Cassie!!! I love you bunches girl! Well to keep some of you posted..my knee is doing a little better. But the thing is that I can't fully extend it without pain...actually I can't fully extend it at all while standing. I'm still the gimp of campus. I wish it was better...it's such an inconvenience. But I'm grateful that God has generally made me quite healthy. I shouldn't be complaining. I wanted to recap today. I feel so happy right now. And it's not because of something that happened to me. It's more of like something that God did. Today I didn't wake up till late, around 12. And then I found out that I didn't have to take this course cause I already have credit for it...I completely forgot about my AP stuff in HS...boy hasn't even been a year and I already forgot. Geez. But that's besides the point...that means that I can save some major mulah and time too! That was so wonderful for me. And then after class I was in my room and my best bud IMed. We went to target to get pictures and then we went back to her room to watch Autumn in New York. It's so sad. *sniff sniff* But then dinner and then tonight was CCF meeting night and that's where all the magic happened. First we decorated to surprise Cassie and the place just looked so cozy. But it was that at CCF some people that swore they would never come back to CCF came. And some people that resented thought of the group came. I was so incredibly happy. And by talking to one of them, I know they were touched again. I am so happy. And another told me that they fell away from God. But now to me it seems like there's gonna be a turn around so I'm so excited. We had a not-so-structured meeting today...and it was wonderful cause it was to reflect on the past semester and sharing whether it was stuff we were grateful for or what we learned or how we grew. And people actually spoke voluntarily instead of stupid long silences. I was just so glad that people had so many things to be thankful for. We're truly blessed and tonight I was happy that He has brought some that were lost back to us again and I truly hope that they stay. On another note...finals next week. AIYAH!!!! State of Panic Alert!!! posted by Sewa at 4:33:00 AM # Monday, December 03, 2001 I am currently in so much pain I wish someone would knock me out. I mean how I came to be like this I don't regret it one bit but I am in some serious pain. Saturday was a big day for CCF here. After a small meeting and bible study on friday night some of the boys went to ball and them most of the girls came to my room to chill and eat. Then everyone tried to get to bed early cause the next day would be a big day. We were gonna have an outreach. That consisted of a hot pot and then later that night broomball. Some we're gonna help buy food and others were gonna stay after and clean. So those who were shopping had to get up early meet at twelve and then two cars went their separate ways to get the stuff for HOT POT. I love HOT POT. I haven't had it in such a long time...it's so yummy...and nothing is fried...such a GOOD fellowship dinner. Everyone just stands around eats and talks. But we were expecting an extremely large number. Thirty some showed up and we had to have three pots goin. It was at Christy's house...thanks Christy. So we had a huge group of new comers and from what I've heard they enjoyed it very much. I'm so happy. It's all God. And some of them were new to hot pot as well and to my relief they all enjoyed it. After that a group of the girls had to leave and we went to perform the Testify to Love body worship at a concert. After that we girls went to change really fast and then went to the ice arena to meet up with everyone again to play broomball. It was so hectic. So CCF reserved the ice arena to host broomball. A game in which you get on the ice rink with your shoes armed with what resembles an oar (a heavy wooden stick with the small little platic piece at the bottom) and the objective is to swat the ball into the other team's goal. And we had about 40-50 come to broomball. And everyone goes on the ice at the same time with no safety equipment. So with so many, there are accidents waiting to happen. People were slipping, falling, and crashing into each other. But they seemed to be having a blast. Here I was down near the defense end with Cassie and I didn't fall once. And then the two hours were almost over so I decided I was go down to the offensive side of things. No more than 10 minutes down there I fell and I hurt my knee...really bad. I had to be helped off the ice. And it's the same knee I've injured before. I have never had the same mobility since the first injury and this second time seems exponentially worse. I couldn't get out of bed the next morning. And I'm a gimp limping around campus. =( It didn't even hurt as much when I first did it. But now after three days I can even fully extend my leg. Aiya it sucks to get injured. But I don't regret it. I probably will play again next semester. The day was tiring and didn't even end there. Some of us also went to USB afterwards...always a good place to go to. And Sunday I could definitely feel the pain I couldn't even get out of bed. And now it's all over...what a weekend...oh no..that means it's gonna be MONDAY! posted by Sewa at 12:41:00 AM # |
