You know, the best week in all of university education schooling is probably Reading Week, yes the infamous week where students all take the time to read and catch up on the crazy amounts of homework that professors hand out! Haha! In reality, reading week is probably a student’s best excuse to go home, relax and recharge before the final part of the school year! My week was actually quite interesting. I geeked it up by being at school and doing homework (yes, I was one of those odd ones!) It was actually needed as I have a class presentation that will last about 2 hours that I had to prepare for.
There was one thing that was exciting at the start however. I tagged along with the Futsal teams down on their trip to Medicine Hat for an ACAC tournament. As an ACAL team, we went in as underdogs, but held our own and came in 6th of 8 teams! I personally observed opposing coaches and players unhappy that they weren’t destroying us!
Oh yes, Michelle and Wally, two of my “friends” pranked me after I had entrusted Michelle with my locker combination. Here is the youtube video of me cleaning up after the mess that was my locker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qff6-gg-Cgo. Very well done guys. I had quite the laugh as you can tell.
That’s all for now!

What a week!
This week has definitely been an interesting one. It has been one that has been filled with sleep deprivation, homework, and futsal! I am also going to Europe at the end of April for a final Business Class that will tour through some of the major countries like England, Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic, and Poland! This is probably the biggest field trip I will ever take part of during a class! haha
I also got to start my first career ACAL Futsal game. Check that, my first ever start in any form of competitive sport! Thanks to my forwards and defence, I was able to get my first career ACAL futsal win as a goalkeeper! Exciting, yes, but also very nerve racking. I was definitely shaking before and not sleeping well the entire week before Saturday!

late night/early morning ramblings..
It's been a while since a late night blog post has been written. I've been trying to be a good student and sleeping at humane times. (haha yeah right, who am I kidding!) So here are some thoughts from this last week. I think I'll start from the most recent events.
1) The Calgary Flames --- what a week for my favourite hockey team! Breaking the 9 game losing streak by beating on a hapless Oiler team! NBD! I love sending our northern neighbours to a losing streak of a Rider's dozen! (w00t I was able to make fun of two teams I hate in one sentence!) Also we made some blockbuster trades that shook up the team. I still don't know what to think about the Dion Phaneuf trade, it seems like an awful waste of potential on a guy that is improving lots. Even so, I thought we should have gotten WAY more then what we got for Phaneuf. A Schenn as well maybe? Jokinen is also rumored to be gone. What a relief! I wonder what Darryl Sutter has in store for us fans! Anywho.. in Sutter we trust! haha
2) Shinny on the ODR is alot of fun! Especially, when you are playing with some of your best friends! I am definitely grateful for Canadian weather and an natural love for the game of hockey. Nothing is better then a mild evening and playing a pick up game of hockey on the local outdoor rink! The company of good friends, and awesome sports is something that is unbeatable!
3) You know, as I am nearing the end of my university career, I often think of what God has in mind for me. My future:whether its my job, relationships or what I am going to be are often things that cross my mind. Tonight, well I guess its 0230 and its technically last night, I was reminded about what God's plan for me is. Matthew 28, in the Great Commission, God calls us to make disciples of all nations. I think I get caught up in looking for what I want in my life and often forget that God dictates and holds the future in my life. I am not saying that working hard at school is unimportant, but I believe that, as a Christian, I should never lose sight of the ultimate goal. I was also reminded of God's promise to not worry about what will happen if I trust and obey. Matthew 28:20 reads: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Isn't it comforting to know that even though you might feel small and insignificant, He is there for you until the end of time!
ok.. sleep beckons :) have a good night!
