whould you?

so..me and gina are sitting next to each other typing to each other.

this is the result.

YOU KNEE WORK

So that lecturer I talked about before that is the guy who first started vlogging, well this is his class. Every week we have to make a video task and in our tutes we critique them but also use each others to make a web project.
Anyway I'll show you this one because the first two are too embarrassing to show. (But I don't care if you see them on your own accord, but be warned they're not worth watching and are awful quality)

Boxed Wine cracks me up every time.

C.H.I.C.A.G.O.

okay....so I havnt hard any time to make a Chicago video or anything and I realized that most of it wouldn't make any sense to you all any way. here are the highlights:

Pacific Garden Mission- homeless shelter that pairs service and the gospel in such an incredible way! We served Chipotle (leftovers from the day before) and got to hangout with the people there

Good News Daycare- Mrs. Pearl runs a daycare/preschool out of her home for teen mothers. I played with infants all day, served the kids breakfast and helped make books of Mrs. Pearl's testimony

"Mom"- I was given the duty of lunches, 100 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a day. and making sure that everyone got thir lunches in the morning. That, and a bunch of other things, got me the nickname 'Mom' for the trip *note: I was still called boxed wine by Dan & Allen, Josh however called me mom*

SHAMBLES- the catch phrase of the week that is catching on here at VT just as much as 'Yup Cheers' did. And started by Mr. Allen Bowman too. For example, "This car is in shambles after driving 11 hours" or "I am in shambles after being in a car for 11 hours"
The phrase "We have rooms" was to Chicago as "Been here since October" was to Melbourne

Here are a couple of short videos:

Allan is driving, Joe and Josh are the other performers


The guys (Dan, Curfman Joe, Gerald and Jonathan) place a chair in front of where they were sitting, as soon as someone (in this case Julie) sat in it they crowed around the chair, picked it up and sang. At the end of the song they placed the chair in its original spot, sat down and pretended like nothing happened.

Nothing Is Impossible

Our friend Amy introduced us to this song by Planetshakers called Nothing Is Impossible. I think its pretty rad so here is two versions of the song for you to download and then decide which is better. It's a sick song and a really good reminder that we should totally trust God and his plans for us!

Redemption

I would just like to note that I did however, put an Australian Flag temporary tattoo on yesterday. Where do you think my loyalties are now?

Reflections on Abby's Betrayal

I guess I'm feeling a myriad of emotions right now.

1. Surprise: I thought I knew where Abby's loyalties were. I expected a certain amount of respect and dedication from her, and I feel shock that she has been putting on a face for so long.

2. Abandonement: Metaphorically, I am about to fall of a cliff and my fingers are slipping. Even though Abby is standing there, she is not helping me and I am falling, falling, falling, but Abby is not there to pull me up.

3. Despair: I want to sit in my room and cry because Abby thinks she's too good for things that she used to find joy in. Abby, if you are too good for Temporary Tatoosday, you are too good for me!

4. Like Crap: I thought our Temporary Tatoosday was next Tuesday, March 7! But I just checked my phone and March 7 is a Sunday. Dang!!!!

Confession

I lost my temporary tattoo for yesterday. I have no idea how it happened and I am very sorry. I feel like I have let everyone down.

Last First Day

Today was my last first day of uni. Which blows my mind! and makes me feel reeeaalllyy old!

but i will tell you about it later.

i just wanted you to check out this video/ song.

you wont understand what it means or anything, but know

that when i was a little 9 year old i knew all the words, and today, 12 years later, i can still sing along pretty freakin well!

1st Day Back

Today was our first day back at you-knee.
We also had a servant team meeting as RUMU.

I just wanted to share a fun fact. The class I'm taking on Mondays is called Integrated Media. It's basically a follow on from the subject I took last semester (Networked Media). We work in these awesome new labs that I'll take a photo of one day to show you. And again I have to maintain a blog of my learning. The fun fact is coming..just wait. So my lecturer and tutor is called Adrian Miles and he told us today that he is one of the first 2 people ever to vlog. He pioneered vlogging. He's ahead of the pack in terms of new advances in technology ahahhaha.

Yeah that's all. Uni's gonna be a lotta work this year. My timetable's looking very full!

It's autumn now and suddenly heaps colder. In fact, first day of March and it's freezing!

Love Gina.
