My way or the Highway!

Should i start this blog off with a question? or should i say what's on my mind? (add a cello here, to add a sad impression)

Don't you absolutely hate the first day of a cold? well today was the first day of my current cold, and it's really really not a happy experience when you're trying to teach and be all happy in school! Oh yeah, and apparently when it's non uniform day the teacher's dress down too, was very nice of people to tell me! i think i was just about the only teacher who wasn't in jeans today, no i was dressed up smartly as usual!

Wanna hear a funny story? Today the teacher was asking the children which Roald Dahl book they would like to listen to, when she held up Charlie and The Chocolate Factory one boy said, 'no that's the old one!' which slightly confused me, but the next comment by another boy helped me understand! the next boy, referring to the book said 'i hope that's not the one with Johnny Depp!' how can you mix up a book and a film?

i was at CU last night and it was a 'guys and girls night'. It was so much fun! Gary (the current president, since the committee changes next Thursday!) gave a little talk and then we split into guys and girls, the girls of course got to each chocolate! In the groups we discussed a couple of Bible passges and then we had to write 'Hey brother...' and then say some positive things about the guys, like how they protect us or don't let us wallow in our problems. we also had to do slightly more negative things like when guys take lead when they don't have a clue, but feel they have to because they're male. At the same time the guys were doing the same thing about the girls. Twas funny, coz then the leaders of the group swapped and each group got to hear what the other group had said! The guys had thanked us for having genuine friendships with them and asked us to not talk to them during football on tv as they won't hear anything we say! They also commented on the fact that we can take anything they say and get a totally different meaning from it! We also talked about how we can encourage each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. I think it a very fun and informative evening was had by all.

Then Dougie, Alastair, Fiona and i went and played some pool. (a little aside here, i beat Alastair at pool! yay!!!) the guys did their bit by making sure that we fully understood what they were meaning when they said something, well alastair would just say 'oh i better not say that incase you take it the wrong way', how was i meant to take 'you hip hop freak' in the wrong way??? Lol! it was a good night anyway, and it was great to be a student again and not have to worry about looking all smart and having to put on a fake smile all the time!

Verse for the blog:~ "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." Colossians 3:12 - 14

Should I end this blog off with a question?
