Holidays

Wow, it's been about a month since I updated. Time has gone by quickly. It's holidays for me now. Long sleep ins, lots to do in afternoons. Tonight is the OBY formal dinner + Disco. However, my friends are leaving to Australia to live and so they are having a goodbye party the same night. I'm going to the formal dinner but then I'm going to shoot off to get to the end of my friends' party.

Come to think of it, every OBY formal I've ever been to, I've done something after it. I remember about two years ago when Amy, Kaleb and I went into town to the Crown Plaza to have a coffee. Last year, I remember going to Randal and Kate's friend's house and then I think Stephen, Lydia and I went to a movie afterwards (I remember we planned it, but don't remember if we actually ended up going to the movie).

This, I hope, won't be my last OBY formal for a while. Even with me going down south, I plan on coming back up in the holidays, and the OBY formal is during the holidays. It's a night you can look forward to the whole year, and it's not about going with someone (like the school formals are) but rather about going with everyone.

There are several tasks I set myself these holidays. I recently bought dozens and dozens of Christian books that I intended to read these holidays, and as of yet, I've not picked up one. Another thing was tidying my room, or rather, cleaning out my room. My room is generally tidy, but there are always parts of it that are filled with junk. I want to retidy my whole room and clear the cobwebs from all the things that just sit in my room taking up space, serving no purpose. That job has been started, but is still underconstruction.

Next weekend, I want to go down to dunedin to check out some flats. I'm praying that more people will offer me their flat, so I can choose between several options. (So far I have had one guy offer me his flat [sounds really good], and one girl is alright with me joining her flat but she hasn't got a flat yet [she has the number of flatmates she wants, and lives in dunedin so should be able to find a flat fairly quickly]) Prayers for me would be much appreciated.

Last monday I went to the dentist for a filling, the numbing thing he used reacted with my body and a day later I was covered in an itchi red rash from sculp to sole. Fortunately the rash only lasted 2days. Then when I got up the next morning to go to the doctors, the rash had gone. Thanks for prayer (Amy), and lots of claratyne, and hydrocortisone cream (becks).
