Well it has been WAY tooo long....(and this might be long)


hey hey. I know I am a horrible blogger but really you have to believe me that I forgot my password like 22x and had to create all these new accounts. Then I got rejected from blogger for a while but yesterday it worked!!! I do love reading the blog and hearing about you all.
Well let me give you an update from O-dot. first of all im not in Orangeville so that is a lie. I am in London going to the University of Western Ontario. I am studying Kinesiology and i love it. I find physiology soo intersting and enjoy what i am learning (with the exeption of biology...which was not at all what i thought it would be. Every lecture is our wacked-out prof proving to us that the earth was created from a falling astroid from mars...and he doesnt accept any questions cause he cant answer them. bahhaha i laugh)

I have been so blessed with my living conditions this year. I am with 3 other great girls in one of the dorms on campus. I am really thankful for them and I look around even our floor and see just how God handpicked the rooms. Thats pretty rad. This year all-in-all has been a rollercoaster ride like there is no tomorrow. Frosh week was insane like I have never seen before. Some times I hate rez sooo much but then other times I love it. It is kinda messed up. Next year i wont be living in rez (woot woot) and will be living in a house with 6 girls. It kinda made me feel really grown up signing a lease and all. (I felt like I should have gone home to get my parents signatures bahahahah)
I have been able to play innertube water polo on a team this year and it has no lie been gong show of my week every week. It is truly a hilarious game to play...and i cant forget the much needed dance parties as study breaks. The sweet deal here is that i write NO papers or projects whatsoever....that does mean that my exams are worth 100% of my mark so around exam time...studying consumes you.
Just sitting here looking back on this year so far has made me realize how much my faith has been tested and tried. I have had to struggle with decisions and beliefs and have masacared them in my mind to the point that I have been really stretched...but I have grown. It also makes me really super thankfull for last year and having a strong foundation. I feel like this year has been a test to apply what I learned last year. I am having a hard time getting connected with any of the Christian groups on campus. That has been a huge challenge casue i dont enjoy it at all but i know how important it is to be connected spiritually. I am workin on that though. But I AM loving it here and i know without a doubt this is where i am supposed to be....right now at least ( I DO miss beautifull BC and the mountains and the ocean...my goodness...get me out there)
well actually I am coming out in lets see....3 WEEEEKSS to stay with Bryson and Tars and can't wait to see the people at Qwanoes/ around Qwanoes. Im excited.
Sorry this blog has been a novel. The pictures are of a few of my roomates and some people on the floor.
Peace it out....Ally : )

Whoah Derksen! Finally!!! Well hey its great to hear how campus life is going. I know how excited you must be to move out next year. Thats the plan for me* Anywhoo, I'll be praying that you continue to grwo and be encourged by not getting connected with any of the Christian folk round there.
*Pick up Wakabayashi's book 'Kingdome Come' chp. 8/9 is all about campus life clashing with the christian walk.

Ally actually posted on the blog? This is . . . well this is a first actually. Glad to see you learned how to upload a picture haha! At first I was all excited to hear that there was actually blog-worthy news in Orangeville, too bad it was all a sham. Take care of yourself, see you in a bit.
Ok if you come all the way to the Island and don't hangout with me I will hunt you down and feed you in small bits to that blob of flesh macky . B ut seriously If your staying with Tars let me know when o maybe just take a day trip to vi and we can get lunch or something it'd be swell -Andrew
