Valentine's Day and Feelings of Disarray

Happy Belated Valentine's Day to all. I tried to post last night, but my computer was behaving badly and it didn't want to cooperate (no, I did not let a boy touch it). Overall, Valentine's was great. It made me appreciate so much the friendships we as women can enjoy together. Plus, we got to eat some really bad food (an amazing chocolate cake...check out the pictures at http://nerakf.blogspot.com ) and chat about boys....a wonderful combination is you ask me. and contrary to popular opinion, i am not obsessed with the piano player from Nightwish (it was an awesome concert and some people think i am half in love with the piano player. Although he is very talented!) We also got to have a private viewing of Wimbeldon last night at the chaplaincy after everyone had left. It was a sappy and predictable romance movie, but it was just right for a single's valentine's get together.
As i said just a few moments ago, the Nightwish concert on Saturday night was amazing. They are so great live and i doubt it will be something i will forget anytime soon. Sunday at Oxford was great as well and it was a lot of fun to just wonder around the city centre and look at the really old buildings. Once again Canada has nothing even close to it, so this was just jaw dropping wonderful to see. I hope the pictures turn out, otherwise i do have the postcards to show people.
Today, I think the reality of the fact that i am really actually going home next week sunk in to my mind. My first response for most of the day was to begin to withdraw emotionally from people. Hard to admit, but it was what i felt for most of the day. Then i realised that I still have over a week left here and no matter when I leave and even if i could break off emotionally now, saying goodbye is still going to suck and I really do care about people too much to do that to myself. I just hope that no one here does the same to me in return because it would make the next week awful. On the flip side of things, I thought small groups went well tonight. We were talking about God's love and John 15:16 really spoke to me. I'm really going to miss C.U. and church small groups. Both things have just instilled so many new points about God into my life.
Not going to Cadbury World tomorrow, so I do get to attend my last C.U. prayer lunch. I'm glad for that at least. Well, it is getting late and i'm feeling a bit rough and tomorrow is a busy day despite the change of my plans. However i may actually try to have a bit of a lay-in which is funny for me to say because it rarely happens! Anyways, I'll be in touch soon.
