Very mature

What to do when you arrive early to the young adults group at church.



Of course, it doesn't always work...

Sleding in Ardèche

Two weeks ago, we went up to the Bonnefoi retreat center for a bit of maintenance and cleanup. After a bit of trouble with the icy roads we made it too late to get any work done. However, we did have a bit of fun on the snow (snow! They have snow in Ardèche!).



The next day was very busy with moving beds around, cleaning storage rooms, finding a few dead mice, et cetera (no photos, that was boring).

One we were done, we had a bit of time to sled on the beautiful slopes on the grounds. The snow was frozen, which meant that the sleds went really fast, and that the only way to break was to jump off the sleds. Fun!

I'm back!

Well, much to Raphaël's joy (and mine), my computer is up and running! I can now blog again! It's a good thing, too. A lot of bloggable things have been happening, so I have a bit of catching up to do. But first, here's a picture of two long-lost friends finally reunited:

Tuesday nights

Every Tuesday evening, raphaël and I invite some of the young adults from chruch over to our appartment to partake in a meal of "super-sandwitches" with us. We then play cards, watch a DVD on Raphaël's computer, or just stay un and talk and laugh till late. Tuesday happens also to be the day we have the most homework, which means we sometimes are a bit tired Wednesday mornings.


It's one of my favourite parts of the week, when we can relax, have a good time and laugh a lot. Here are a few photos of yesterday evening. You would be surprised how much Lynda can eat!

We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are,
Lost in Marseilles after travelling so far.
Cars and danger, but no manger,
I knew we were following the wrong star!

We met kids at a Bible school,
They told me that I was a fool.
"He's in Bethlehem, give me your wallet!"
At least they didn't take my mule.

So we three kings of Orient are,
Driving home in a stolen car.
Melchior driving, I'm navigating,
With a map. Stupid Star

Back to class

To all those still on vacation: enjoy it while it lasts!

I was thankful to be able to spend the holidays with my family in Lausanne. I had a great time! Such a great time that I didn't find much of an urge to blog...

But all good things must end. I'm not saying what comes after isn't good (gotta be careful what I say here, you never know who might read this), just that sitting around for two weeks being lazy beats getting up in the morning!

So this morning we started bqck for our second trimester of CEM. It was great to be back, although some people hadn't gotten used to getting up in the morning yet...

Goodbye PowerBook?

My beloved old PowerBook G3 seems to have fallen into a coma (no, I didn't drop it), and so far, there has been no sign of recovery.

We've tried unplugging and re-plugging the whole hing. No good. We've threatened it and taken its battery pack out and battered it. No good.

Right now Dad is messing with it, but it doesn't look like it's going to help much.

On the bright side, this means I have an excuse to use Jordan's brand new MacBook Pro, which is waaaay better than my old one.

And it looks like we'll get to take the PowerBook apart! Fun!
