The Last 3 Months Or So

So, man, it's been a while.
I've finished Capernwray Winter School and I'm moving to Tauernhof Spring School in a week's time. So much has happened in the last term that I'll keep the memories in my head rather than on here. (Also cos I'll miss loads of important stuff out.)
So it was the hardest thing ever to say goodbye to everyone at Capernwray, although I will see 30 of them next week in Austria.
God has taught me so much in the last 6 months. Stuff about myself and my realtionship with Him and others. Stuff about the Bible and stuff about working hard. Ok, maybe not so much the last one. I've discovered a lot about myself, met some amazing people from all around the world, and had some unforgettable experiences along the way. This truly has been the best 6 months of my life. I mean, I've had some real struggles and found things really hard at times, but overall I can safely say that God has really blessed me this year, and I've changed more han I think I realise.
Other things that have happened are that I have a new iBook, i have an interview for Regents Theological College on Thursday, and i got a job this summer working at a Christian Camp called Forest Home for 3 months in California. Sweet huh.
I have so much stuff to sort out in the next few days, it's kinda bowling me over.
Now that I have a laptop (with wireless) I will no doubt be writing more stuff on here.
Peace out.

This was earlier that morning when the frost was much heavier on the ground. The mornign was really dull, and the cage seemed overwhelmingly red. I used a wider aperture to brighten the image, and it also enhanced the red. This is my favourite picture at Capernwray so far, and I have only tweeked it in a couple of areas where the grass was slightly greener, but the rest of the picture retains its orignal colour.

This is labelled in my folder as 'Frosted Trough 2'. It was taken early in the morning when there was frost on the ground. I took it because I noticed the two striking diagonals from the right-hand side towards the top left-hand corner.

This is also a tree, but one so influenced by wind, that it grew to one side.I find this fascinating, because I like the words 'grew' and 'side'.

Another tree

I will now post some of my more 'arty' photos. This is the tree outside my window at Capernwray.

This is Allison with Pam. They are both from Oregon. This is also a State in America. It has only been a State since February 14th 1859, which makes it almost 146 years old. This is less than a third of the age of my school, which is 456 years old.......The first census taken in Oregon was the following year, enumerating 52,465 residents. There is a much greater number of people in Oregon today, but the official figure was probably chosen by pressing the #RANDOM# button on a calculator and moving the decimal place. <---FACT. (Lazy Americans!)

Justin and Brent, (in my shirts and ties)

Marisa and Beth, previous friends from San Diego, California. California is a state. this is something they have in America.

Jay and Kyle, previous friends from Indiana. This is in America. which is near Canada. Canada is a country.
