bookstore owner by day, aquafit instructor by night
Today has been a much better day. I woke up early, which is really odd, because I didn't think there was an hour earlier than what my alarm clock is set to in order for me to catch the bus. Anyway, because I woke up early, I wasn't running late at all today.
Fridays are my longest days. I have classes in both the morning and the afternoon, which is pretty uncommon for me. Plus, where I normally have a break from 1-2:30, I have a thrilling seminar on how to write essays that I have to attend in order to someday graduate. God is definitely still surrounding me, because normally I can't handle being here at school for more than a morning, and I rely very heavily on that break. But as of now, I feel fine. I've been praying a lot for strength, and God is answering. I love it.
I am really excited for tonight, though. Tamara (my cousin) and her university choir are singing at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and she gave her two free tickets to me and my aunt (her mother). So tonight marks my very first ballet, complete with a Mennonite's dream: a $68 ticket free of charge. The show is Dracula, and I am really excited to see it. Our seats are first balcony, front row, so we'll be able to see everything!!!! I know you are all jealous, but this is something you will just have to get over!
Oh, and something funny and a little weird that I have discovered is that the bookstore manager here at my school, and my Tuesday night Aquafit instructor are possibly one in the same person. It dawned on me the other day that there must be a reason why they have the same name (Raul; not a common Canadian name) and bear a striking resemblance to one another. I sneaked past the bookstore today, trying to nonchalantly glance in Raul's direction to see if I was right, but his face was turned away, and I was unable to complete my mission. Too bad. I guess I'll have to try again later.
Well I guess I better eat some lunch. Turkey sandwiches are calling my name. Time for another lunch by myself, cleverly disguised as a study session. Happy trails, all!

caiti, I am really jealous, and i won't be able to get over it until you tell me about it. And thanks for the phone message from you and Tam the other day ... at least I hope it was you two. my machine is really fuzzy, and all i could honestly make out was a bunch of weird screaming and babbling. I figured it must be you guys.
you do aquafit? i don't know what to say. let me know if it's cool, because if it is, i don't know why i'm not already doing it.

Simon, Aquafit is possibly the coolest thing known to man. Tamara and I are regulars, and we're trying to spread the word of the Aquafit Revolution. Its the place to be!
And yes, that was us babbling on the phone...
