it’s a beautiful day…part 2
Why part 2? Cause of this previous post. ’nuff said.
Did any of you get to go and enjoy the great weather we had in TO today? Absolutely gorgeous. Spring has come! 
To make a great day better, spend it having a great lunch at Peter Pan with your mom, take a stroll around downtown for an hour, and have your design project completed! Speaking of which, come check out the cumulation of the past 7 months of documentation, failed testing, wrong parts, late nights at Bahen, and slacking off next Tuesday! My design partner, Nicola, and I will be showing off what we’ve designed and built at the annual ECE design fair in the basement of Sanford Fleming from 6:30-9pm on Apr. 3. So come out and check out what we and the other ECE students have concocted.
It’s a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
urbana 06: day 3
Hmmm…yesterday’s post was rather long. I’ll try to keep this one short.
Same schedule as yesterday, just different passages and different speakers. Getting to know the other floor proctors more and some of the exhibitors too. Continuing to connect with them. Tonight, we had an extended session where the second half of the session focused on HIV/AIDS. I’ve been looking forward to this for the past few days and it didn’t disappoint. There were 3 scheduled speakers plus a surprise video from Bono, that’s right, U2′s Bono. First there were testimonies from Lisa Robinson (a nurse from Toronto who went to Africa to help educate people in Malawi about HIV/AIDS) and Kay Warren (Rick Warren’s wife who also went to Africa and experienced HIV/AIDS first hand). We then got surprised with a video of Bono exhorting us to join the ONE campaign and to use our voices to change the AIDS situation and drown him out. Lastly, we had Princess Kasune Zulu share about how HIV/AIDS has affected her and urged us to fight this, to be the visible image of the invisible God. Very moving message that got a standing ovation from everyone.
So what does this mean for me? Well, this AIDS thing has been on my mind for the last few months and this basically reaffirmed things for me, how I must not be silent, how we as a church cannot be silent. Talked with Mike Lau after the session here at the hotel and it was awesome to hear some of the ideas he’s got for what we can do as a fellowship to raise awareness about AIDS at UT like World Vision’s Acting on AIDS (AOA). Let’s be the generation that ends this AIDS pandemic.
it’s a beautiful day! *insert guitar riffs here*
What a beautiful day it was today! Too bad most of it was spent working inside. 
But I there is some good news and bad news. First the bad news: Montreal was eliminated last night and I can't pre-order the Starfield CD cause you have to have an US address. Boo-urns! Good news: I'll save $10-$11 on the new Starfield album when it comes out on iTunes and I had a spifferriffic time enjoying the company of most of next year's CCF committee (we missed ya Grace & Lemuel!) in Korea town tonight (or I guess technically last night). Yummy Korean food, adventures in a Korean supermarket, topped off with sweet, sweet cake and good discussions for dessert! Tianne, Gizelle, Yuan, & Mike, thanks for the good times and I can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us!
Also, posted up another new section: lessons. This is where I'll be just posting the things life has taught me. I have a feeling most of them will be either random things or silly things, probably not too many serious lessions, but some.
New intern will be coming to work next week! Woohoo! Get to work with another student for the next 4 months. Can't wait! This should be an awesome summer!
