Two Weeks

Well in exactly two weeks, I will be on a train to Manchester, where I will spend the night and then hop on a plane home to America the next day!
It is crazy how quickly everything is winding down, it seems like just last week I arrived here, and now I am leaving.

Today I turned in my first essay of the three I have due. Tomorrow my second essay is due, and next Monday (the 24th) my third and final essay is due.
I am done with the second essay and only have half of the third one to do. The problem is after doing nothing this whole semester I have become quite lazy and I cannot seem to find the motivation to write my essay. Hopefully I find it today at the library!
Today is a gorgeous day in Hull, for once, after the last week or so of cold and cloudy weather the sun has decided to come out and it has been quite nice. I even went on a run this morning outside for the first time in quite a while.

I am full of anxiety lately, I love being here, and I am sad to leave but since I know I am leaving in two weeks, I am really anxious for the time to go by. I have been finding ways to fill the time, last Friday we went down to Beverley and saw the antiques roadshow (by the way, I will be on the BBC come September =)) it was quite a lot of fun. Then on Saturday we went to Scaraborough which is this cute little beach town/fishing village. I absolutely loved, I think Kelsey and I might be going back with her roommate next week. On Sunday I sang on the worship team again, I love being the worship team so much, I am really going to miss it!!

Yesterday I had a really good talk with my housemate Ida. We were talking a lot about religion and sex before marriage, and she brought up a really valid point. She was telling me that she didn't think that sex before marriage was such a big deal compared to other things. She said that she thinks people should focus more on caring for each other and not so much on rules. It was so neat because I agreed with her, for the most part. I told her that the greatest commandment Jesus called us to was to love him and love our neighbors as ourselves. We talked a long time about hypocrisy in religion and Christianity, which is why she is so turned off to it. I was able to explain to her that we are called to be loving, and take care of each other and have community and she really liked that. Our conversation didn't go anywhere deeper then that but it was cool to share that much of the Bible and the Jesus I know with her. It ended with her saying that it was a shame that the media only displays the bad parts of religion and not the good parts because it seems that they are a lot of good things as well.
So I pray that God will grow that little seed planted in her heart! =)

Well, now that I have rambled about very random things, and procrastinated as much as I can I suppose it is time for me to leave and go "revise" as they say here!

Cheers!
