"For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
- without Jesus I can do nothing, for without Him I am nothing.

It's as though spring has come again. Clearing leave ushers in new feelings, as though parts of me that hibernated for 2 1/4 years suddenly sprung back to life, and here I am now, free to live, free to get enough sleep than the usual five hours that I'd been subjecting my body to. I used to dread mondays, especially sundays, but now it's not so bad. i think the worst thing about NS is the lack of anything to look forward to (within NS), and I felt as though I were living a double life, one in camp, and the other outside. I just couldn't reconcile the two. And maybe I will never be able to.

So i've been living the life. Spending lots of money (im down to the last 50 perhaps). Wednesday was spent playing civ 4 and Dota, and eating CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) with Sam Darren & Jeremy, and watching Champions league football overnight. Thursday was spent eating Au Petit Salut (their $22 set lunch is a fantastic deal- with wine and et al, escargots, beef onglet, creme brulee--you couldn't ask for more, especially since it's haute cuisine actually, in essence), writing music. Friday was very fun, going for driving, collecting passports, watching 'Inside Man', playing pool, playing Texas Hold'em Poker, which is the most fun thing in the world, and then going for supper--- the dream life.

I just couldn't ask for more. Thank God that it's finally over.
