Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week 6- Long Weekend

Saturday I didn't do much so no use talking about it.
The next day was more eventful. In the morning I went to church with my roommates and that was early, but also nice. It's so different from our church. At the start we had to greet people and wish them good morning or get to know them before we started the real service. Also they had a woman singing and playing the piano and a man backing up with keyboard. She had such a beautful voice! The songs just hit you because she sang it so powerful. Also during prayers the woman started playing the last song we sung softly on the piano which made the prayer had more meaning. Well, it has it without too, but the music is strengthening it.
I didn't really pay attention at the sermon as my mind likes to go elsewhere >.> But hat happens in our church too or at school.
There was also a well known African gospel singer singing in Swahili! The songs sounded so happy in that language. I only could understand the word Baba which means father (thanks to the baba yetu song =P)
There was also a child dedication which I never really experienced before. The preacher held the baby and presented him to the church and spoke some words. It was quite short actually.

After the service we could get coffee and a snack. Oh they had the table full with treats! Chocolate cookies, chocolates, strawberries, different types of cake.. Yummie. We sat at a table and people can join you for a chat. We sat there for 15 minutes and then left to get some groceries.
I didn't buy that much this time. 23, - on mostly extra meat and some additional stuff. That's not too bad!
We also ate a hotdog at Costco and were back home at 12:30. The morning felt so much longer than that xD

At 3 we had guests. A married couple from the bible study. We started talking and later played some games. One word game and later the forbidden word. I sucked at it as the others were way faster with yelling.
At 7 we ate hamburgers from the BBQ and there were chips on table. You could guess we were pretty full after. I left the conversation after a while as they talked about school and stuff I couldn;t talk about so I sat in the living room, but they joined me right after.
The people left at 10:30, but I could get along with them so it was a good day.

On a monday I was supposed to do homework, but I woke up with a headache and was pretty tired with it. I talked to my parents, but after that I just went to bed and lay down for 90 minutes.
It didn´t get much better... I couldn´t focus on script writing at all. I did do some research to a nissan car and wrote the narrator part and basically copied the text from other commercials, but on the husband and wife talking I didn´t know what to do. I gave up..
Also another bible study friend dropped by, but I didn't speak to her or saw her. I just stayed upstairs as I really didn't want to deal with anyone now. Also didn't cook, but just made two grilled cheese.

I tried to sleep at 10:30, but I failed.
