A lot has happened since I wrote last Wednesday. A few things kept me from writing. One, the prevailing sunshine over the weekend kept me outside and up late writing last minute papers. By the time I thought to write, I was snug in my bed saying "Rats, I forgot AGAIN!" I tell you all, I live in a beautiful place. My suitemate Brandon and I went on a hike and caught the last day of sunshine. From the top of the ridge to which we hiked I was able to see where exactly Bellingham is geographically. To the east: Mt Baker and the North Cascades, which really are different from the mountains back home. To the south are the Chuckanut mountains, which are really more like big hills than mountains, but they're still awesome. To the north the Coast Range of British Columbia is visable, although the sky has to be pretty clear to see them well. We hiked a little further down the trail and caught a view of the San Juans and the Puget Sound to the west. It's amazing. Ya'll really have to come up and visit!
I went to church on Sunday in the small town of Ferndale. Some friends from Vancouver had told me to check it out, so I did. It was almost entirely older people. In fact, I venture to say I was the only college kid in the room. Fun. Met the pastor, told him where I was from and so on. I doubt I'll go back, just because it was so far. And it was awkward. It seemed like they had a good thing going though. I got a real sense of community from them.
Got a letter on Saturday. I never thought I could be so excited ever in my life. SWEET! Someone wrote me a letter! It was from my grandma, and I just wrote her back today. Now I've just gotta get my act together and get the blasted thing in the mail. For which I have to go to the post office. Which is at the complete other end of campus. SUCK
I do believe that was everything eventful that happened. I am pretty tired, for reasons unknown. It's probably the crappy school food.
...
Until next time.
Peace.
