Well today was a wonderful day, if I do say so myself! The day began with a staff meeting, and since we are like interns or something of the sorts, then we are considered staff as wale....get it (I'm in Wales). Sorry I couldn't resist. Staff meeting was very fun, and all of the staff at the church and with Going Public seem to get along well. It is going to be a fun semester working along side all of these wonderful people. Then since we don't know the British, not English because apparently they really hate to be called English when they are British, students and they don't know us we spent the afternoon getting to know each other. We played many games such as lining up by your name, birthday, age, and number of siblings, all without talking...there might have been a little cheating going on. I am now known as a cheater, although I don't really do it too much, only when I'm losing at games. (The British students have been told not to play card games with me for this reason...at least I'm honest when I cheat...is that an oxymoron?) I had a wonderful time getting to know them a little better and it seems as though we are all going to get along well.
I am having a little trouble with one of the younger guys, I need to be more patient. He tried to tell me today what the AC joint was and where it was. I tried to politely inform him that I've taken tests over every bone/muscle in your body, so I knew where it was and what it's actual name was....it was only my major in college, no big deal. Please pray for patience.
I came home and decided that I was going to go for a run because I'm in love with the desserts here, and I had cereal, 2 small pancakes, a croissant, and a roll thing with chocolate all for breakfast alone this morning, so I needed to get out and get some exercise. When I got home my host mum, Marilyn, wanted to go as well, so naturally I was excited that I had someone to go with me...yet I failed to think about the fact that she is a doctor and likes being healthy. I think I am going to be sore in the morning. She was fast, but claimed to be slow and we ran for 30 minutes, which really isn't long until you are out of shape and eat thousands of sweets in a weekend...well and a full days worth of meals all for breakfast. It felt good to workout, but man I'll pay for it in the morning! (I hope I can get out of bed!)
Tomorrow we are doing a scavenger hunt throughout Cardiff, so it should be very fun. We need to make sure we know each other and the city! Hopefully by Wednesday or so I'll be doing some of the stuff that I will be doing for the rest of the semester.
Well I'm off to bed, goodnight.
