On the john
Well, not really. I just happen to get really fast internet in this bathroom. Well, it’s not a full sized bathroom, it’s one of those little cramped rooms only equipped with a toilet and a sink.
The house I am staying in is very nice. Its a three story, with about six bedrooms and three living areas. The backyard is MASSIVE (the area would be the same area the house takes up), and contained within one corner are in chickens. (Yes, people in the city have chooks! shock horror i know). Also, three dogs and several birds. There was once a rabbit, but it met a tragic end too explicit for wordpress (okay it ran away, but i had you going).
The house itself is located in Rouse Hill (one of those newly developed areas), about 10 minutes from Norwest where Hillsong is. There is a massive shopping centre here (its supposed to be one of the biggest in Sydney when its done). Really modern with timber glass architecture. There were heaps of security guards (i saw 5 in a 50m stretch) and I couldn’t figure out why, but later I read in the paper that there was a bomb threat there last week.
The family is wonderful. Dee and John are the parents (middle aged, very nice people) who have five kids (I think? I keep losing count) three boys aged 17, eight and six and two girls aged 16 and six.
I am missing everyone at home, especially mum and the Taylors. Mum is having her knee replacement tomorrow, Hillsong is praying for a miracle recovery.
Tomorrow I finally get to actually start studying. I can’t wait. This is it, the beginning of a change in me that will be irreversible. After years of waiting I finally get to learn bible. Im majoring in TV and media for the first year, seeing as that is where my gifting is. No telling where God will take me.
Someone is knocking on the door, better finish up (and explain to them why I had the computer in the bathroom, lol)
