I've heard there was a secret chord, that David played to please the Lord...

Last week was incredibly hectic and I can't really remember what I did.

I know that on Thursday I had a minor panic that I wouldn't get my camera because Dixons apparently didn't have one but Karen's dad managed to sort it so that's good! It arrived at home today so hopefully Mum and Dad will be persuaded to bring it with them on Saturday.

Last weekend was great fun! We had a kids party at church which was just insane, being a geek in the drama was most entertaining! I took a few (155) photos, some of which shall hopefully be used on the website! On saturday Karen and I went to Opal and watched LotR:RotK and the Xfactor final and I had my second pizza in two days and felt really fat! We had hoped the European market would be in the town centre but unfortunately it wasn't so we were sad about that. We had a right laugh watching the film and chilling out. Sunday was lovely, last kids team service of the year and we coped with an injury and a lot of games! In the evening Karen and I went to Carols @ Crookes which was absolutely fantastic! Lots of singing and mince pie related fun, we really liked the punch too, I am currently trying to find out the recipe for us to use some time!

I can't believe that this term is almost over, its crazy to think that three months have disappeared. I do have a lot to show for it though, there has been an awful lot of work and learning done. Not just uni stuff too, I really feel like I have grown a bit (not height wise though!). Leading at church has really got easier and now that I have a much larger team this should develop nicely. Karen made a point that I was actually doing teaching and I sometimes totally forget this so its nice to be reminded. I do feel a bit scared about the responsibility but my friends at church and most of all Karen are so incredibly supportive it makes it all very easy.

I have learnt that I have an interest in molecular ecology and that I shall hopefully investigate a career in this sort of lab. I've learnt that I want to get so much better with my photography and that I can't just do that with better equipment, it has to be me pushing the shutter in a better way. I've learnt that its a scary thought not knowing what you will be doing this time next year but that if you have someone to share the journey with it doesn't matter. I have learnt that Tanzania and Kenya count as East Africa. I have learnt that it doesn't matter what you know in science its still possible to have an opinion and voice it in a constructive way.

This week is going to be good too! Our immense biology and ethics poster goes on display on Wednesday, hopefully we shall get a good mark for it! We also find our coursework marks out which I am a bit more nervous about. Thursday is Karen and Simon Christmas which I am dead excited about! Can't wait to give Karen her puppies. =P
