I'M HERE!

Okay, so it's taken me a while to get on here and write, but I've arrived and settles in so well! This is the beautiful view I get from my window.. Well, it'll be beautiful when there's no rain being thrown down upon us. I arrived to a pretty empty castle. Yes, for those just reading in now, I live in a castle. It's sooooo awesome. I only knew one other person who was coming to school when I arrived. Tim, he's from Oz. But I didn't see him so I was kinda left to my own devices. I had SOOOO much stuff. It was crazy. However, Max and Nigel found me, and I had friends. Only problem here was, I didn't feel the need to reach out and talk to anyone else, so Max ended up setting me up with talking to new people, which I was greatful for. A few of the people I knew soon arrived, and Kezia came down with Zach and saw me too. As I moved my junk into my room, I noticed the other people who would be in my room. Gentry being one of them. I found this soooo cool as we had already talked over facebook prior to coming to school. The other two girls in my room are Melissa and Grace. They are my fav! It's unreal how close a friendship we all have already. It didn't take long for us to lose our "cover."

Okay, so if you wanna pray for me, pray that I get better at praying! I have never been so stressed, nervous or freaked out in my life. The reason why? Brady asked me to say grace at lunch time. I know God doesn't need loads of elaborate words said to him, cause he knows we are thankful, but "Dear God, thanks for the food I hope everyone enjoys it" seemed ever so slightly childish in comparison to what I'm used to hearing. Sooo, me and my girls decided to pray every night before bed. So we could strengthen each other in that respect. We also thought it would be good just to have a quiet time where we can ask God, thank God and just be calm with him instead of our normal craziness. Oh yeah, these are my girls! 

We also got together to pray cause one of the girls was taken to hospital on Sunday/Monday. After a whole load of prayer, tests and questions, Reilllly got back to us! She has the same love for Dutch Blitz as I do, so the game is on! 

I'm so excited to see how the next few months plan out. I have some of the closest friends! My roomies, plus a couple others. Leigh, Kezia (OBVS) and then a couple I've gotten to know more over the last couple days through my family group, and through lectures. Raeannon who's my sister in my family group. I also have one of the staff guys from summer, who's working in the kitchen during school - Christian - as my dad. So that's pretty cool! In lectures I have Monica who sits next to me! She's so lovely! Then Andrew who's English and aggressive, and finds enjoyment in hurting me. It's not so cooool. Then there's Micah. He's probably my closest guy friend here. He's pretty sweet. I'm looking forward to getting to know more people! There's just so many! Though I don't really expect to get to know EVERYONE, I don't think that's possible. 

The food isn't too bad. We have dinner at lunch time, and lunch time at dinner though? Apparently so we stay awake? But it's finnne. I'm struggling with breakfast. We have to be there at seven thirty?! It's nearly impossible. Not completely, but nearly. Getting to sleep after 12 and waking up at 7 is brutal! ANYWAY. It's nearly time for dinner, so get in touch! I'd love to hear from you guys! My address is :
