…busy busy busy…
Posted by Elisa on Tuesday Nov 2, 2004 Under UpdatesHi all! Hope all is well with everyone. Things have been super constant for me. Every evening is usually filled one thing or another. It’s awesome. It’s great to be busy and on the go all the time.
From my last post, which I cannot quite remember the train of thought a lot has happened.
The girls went to Italy for a week a fortnight ago, and it was a little sad not to have them around. Mollie and I missed them a lot.
Mollie and Jenna came down from Hatfield for the weekend the weekend the girls left for Italy, so we had dinner at Fridays. The following morning Jenna, Mollie and I went to mass at Westminister Cathedral before heading for Hillsong for the rest of the day.
Monday I did laundry, since I couldn’t deny it any longer that I needed to. That was alright since it was Monday, it was quiet at the Laundrymat. Tuesday I had Discovery 1 which was really good. Wednesday was Life with James, Ellie, Lee and Yao? (No, not as in Ming) We went to the pub for a little while after. Thursday was P&W (Choir/Music) Vision Night. Then Friday night was a great night.
For a a few weeks now emails have been circulating about a dinner with friends of friends, and what not to try a Vietnamese Restaurant. I thought, why not, it should be fun. Meet new friends. On Friday I came across 40 people…38 of whom were like complete strangers. I sat on a table with some great girls, and we had a blast with trying the food, talking and everything. By the end of the night everyone’s managed to at least meet more than half of the group, a few numbers were exchanged, and it was a really good night. Totally something that would have frightened the living crap out of me a time ago….but the experience was great. I met some great people. When I got to Hillsong on Saturday for the Colour Conference Team Meeting I saw a few of them, not realising that some of them were Hillsong People. I kept running into the others on the Sunday too.
Saturday night Mollie stayed with me. After the service we searched high and low for something to eat, since we were beyond starvation, we weren’t quite sure what we felt like so we ended up at Deep Pan Pizza, which was really nice. Went to Starbucks…like of course, before half heartedly deciding to walk home from Oxford Circus to Maida Vale. Crazy huh! But we did it. It took an hour, but it was a nice night and we talked the whole way so we didn’t really feel it.
I forgot to tell Mollie to wind her clock back one hour, so we were ready to go an hour early. So Starbucks it was…again for a Chai Tea Latte. I went to Kids Church to check it out, and she went to the service. We met up again for the 2pm service. After which I had to bail to head to Mass. I had to come back that evening because the girls came back from Italy and we were all excited to see each other again. It was so good to see them again. We were talking non stop for awhile, till it hit how tired we all were.
The Colour Conference is this weekend and I can’t wait. I’ll be singing with the P&W Team. It’s going to be awesome! I can’t wait. We’re all soooo excited for Friday. This week is another full week ahead.
It occured to me the other day that I was settled. I really was. I felt it. It was exciting as well as a little scary to come up with such a realisation. But mostly, it was comforting. I love being busy, and purposeful. Every new experience I’ve looked at with a perspective determined with positiveness, therefore it’s gotten me to appreciate it a lot more. I am excited for the rest that is yet to come, but as I say that, I am savouring each day.
Anyways….best go. Love lots…
