::a cute, little numpty::

I have been meaning to update this for quite a while, but never get around to it, so now I finally will!
If you are wondering what the title means, my friend Dave from Scotland said that numpty means "idiot" in Scotland. I think it's such a cute word (reminds me of a troll or elf or something), so that's my new nickname for people. :) haha
Anyhoo: this past week we had two lecturers...one spoke on the Sermon on the Mount (very good) and then other spoke on Effective Ministry. This seemed like a very long week...so I am very glad that it is Friday!
Today was work day for me, and thankfully I got an easy duty (cleaning the lounge hall and entrance), so we were done by 12:10pm. The only downside was spraying and breathing in very strong furniture polish. no bueno.
Yesterday was a wonderful day. It's the first time in a while where I haven't had any projects to work on during free time, so i went on a walk with a friend. It was rainy, but we wore wellies and i jumped in all the puddles, as usual. Then we ended up splashing each other with the puddles (he started it...lol) and ended up completely soaked! I spent the rest of the day just hanging out around the castle, playing cards, ping-pong, talking, etc. it was great. :)
Tonight my room with probably have a movie night....Friday night tradition! Tomorrow I can't wait to sleep in! yay!
a couple random thoughts now: (can't forget those!)
-Ah, I miss ice cubes! I think i've only had ice cubes ONCE since being here. Sad day.
-you'll be proud to know that yesterday I had 2 glasses of milk! and no one forced me! (NO, i didn't like it)
-they have Mars bars here...super amazingness! I don't think we have them in America...(it's like a 3 Musketeers, but with caramel, too! mmmm)
-Since Thanksgiving is coming up, the Americans are planning a special surprise. ;) I can't say anything....don't want any of the Canadians to hear about it. haha
-Tonight is "British Night"....the Brits are planning it and we have no idea what's going to happen for it. I just hope it doesn't involve marmite or black pudding...

I think that'll be enough for now...I am sooo tired! If you want to know anything else about life over here, just ask me!
love you all and miss you!
