Oh boy, I remember the sleepiness in the morning. I was ready at 10, but I got picked up at 11:30.
Perfect timing as I could sleep on the couch xD
Today was pretty much focusing on the music video research and storyboard. I showed him the concepts I had, but the first question he asked was: Why only slow songs?
Yeah, couldn't really think of a concept for the fast ones as I mainly didn't understand the meaning.
The supervisor was happy with what I had written down though. He liked the first idea about a man being paralyzed, but the second idea about the ghost guardian he could see happening. He already started bringing up new ideas to help shape the story some more. He asked me if I could write it down in the storyboard.
I opened up corel draw and learned to use the basics. (setting up a new document, opening a new paper and copying and pasting)
I wrote down the small concept I had and by writing it down I came up with new ideas to help shape the story better.
My day was short today for work. But I knew tomorrow we would continue with the storyboard as the singer would drop by and voice his opinion about it.
When I got home I made some simple pasta from the freezer and then got ready for bible study.
Some meeting I would normally not go to, but I figured to give it a shot as I could meet new people and help me focus some more on my religion.
It started good. People were introducing themselves to me and I introduced myself to some other people.
It wasn't awkward at all, but it felt good. The first thing we did was playing a game.
A sort of modern version from rock, paper and scissors only now with wizards, giants and elves. We had to make big gestures and make a fitting sound to it. If someone beat the other they had to tag the other team.
I wouldn't normally play such games, but ah well. It loosened everyone up xD
Then we started to get into serious business. First we introduced ourselves as there were 7 including me new people and then we got to the book of Marc. There were 21 segments and as there were 20 people we all had to read a part. We could also say pass and I was tempted to say that, but I decided to just go for it. Letting the nerves get out of my way.
To be honest I didn't understand half of it as everyone read that fast. I have to read it three times in order to fully understand it. Well, the leader chose a segment and we had discussions going on in small groups of 4 about some important matters: What expectations do we have of God? and what we had to give up in order to have more time for God.
The biblestudy ended with prayers and praises and then you were free to go but half of them didn't go and started playing the game: Swat. I didn't play as I was tired so I just watched people get hit by a strange thing when they said a name to late xD I did talk to some people after that and they all seem very nice so I'll definitely be coming again.
The biblestudy did have me think about something. My trip to Canada for example. I applied for the internship, didn't hear anything, then got lucky to be accepted in the internship, then much went wrong, then things went a bit better, went wrong and now it's all good. It's a strange pattern and I think it wouldn't have gone this way normally. I have never been this lucky nor have I had the bad luck in the same year.
Now thinking about it I do feel God had a certain path for me.. he was leading me through the obstacles.
I was waiting for things to happen and expected things to be fine or people do stuff for me, but now I take action myself and don't give up.
He gave me challenges to overcome and rewarded me afterwards. I'm happy to where I'm at now. Couldn't have asked for better roommates or a job and I feel I'm much stronger in life now; more independant. It could also just be life happening and I'm overthinking a lot now, but I like to think someone is watching over me no matter where I'm at.
When we got home my roommates and I already started planning things. Tomorrow we will eat somewhere else and do groceries and wednesday we will BBQ.
We also discussed August. Maybe they can drive me to Red Deer while they will visit Aerdrie..
Now that would be perfect, but it's still far ahead so we will discuss this in three months.
