My first entry.
Kingston, Kingston, Kingston. Wow. I can't believe I'm actually in Kingston. Toodling about in Toronto, I thought I was just on a holiday. After all the stress about getting things done like settling housing stuff and getting furniture and all, I finally am here. Have been here a couple of days now...3 days actually. That's pretty short considering I'm about to stay here for another 100 odd days. Who's counting? *shrugs*
You can see my room in the photos (when I can upload them). It's a great room, except that there's no one living in the house with me so it gets kind of creepy. But I've never felt creeped out. Thanks be to God, for keeping my mind sane! Thank you Lord for giving me a sense of peace even in the dark of the night. I remember reading Psalm 23 on the plane flying to Toronto. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me;..." I was thinking, "Man! Such assurance! And it's not cos 'I fear no evil, for I keep my eyes focused on you', nor is it 'I fear no evil, for I think about you', but it is clearly 'I fear no evil, for you are with me.'" Ain't that cool?!
Anyway, had orientation today. It's an orientation programme for the NEWTS, or the New Exchange Woohoo Transfer Students. It was okay. There were 2 sections in my group basically, the REAL exchange students and transfer students, plus what they call, the "castle kids". These people were in a REAL castle in the UK studying under Queen's Uni and now they're back at main campus. So those guys are kinda cliqueish. Oh well. They're having some wild party night thing, which I have decided not to go for. Booze. Hanging out. Nah, no thanks. So here I am, tapping on the neighbour's super low wireless account.
I've been shopping around town a bit. I live right next to the main shopping street, so that's cool. :) Guess I'll have to get everyone's presents there. Haha. Lalala. Missing everyone at home. I can't wait for this entire blog to be full of cool experiences here in Queen's, Kingston. Please let me make the most of this dear Lord. Please.
