OK so I might have forgotten some things since I am posting so late.
So after I left, I went for a Theological Bible Seminar for 22 days.
I managed to have more prayers than ever and be able to be free from my computer, from which I have been enslaved. Well that's a good thing and all, but I also have been having the same amount of randomness as usual.
During Theolo, I met some new people, and met some old overseas friends that I met last year. No people from overseas joined the First Year this year.
Preacher Ch. also told us that in all of the birthdays listed in the Bible, someone died.
-Pharaoh in Joseph story: The butler and the baker. One of them died. I forgot which one.
-Herod: John the Baptist was beheaded.
So this tells us two things,
1. We do not need to celebrate Jesus' birthday.
2. We should not honour ourselves only on our birthdays. It is, in fact, our mothers who suffered so much to give birth to us.
When the Seminar started, flies suddenly attacked us. We faced flies for a long time. Shawn suggested that it was the bananas that attracted the flies. I was not fully sure of this fact yet, but was at least partially believing the suggestion. Therefore, the people in charge put up fly traps that were not changed for the approximately 20 days. Shawn actually counted the flies accumulating over the days and saw that the numbers were going up at quite a rate. I could list out the numbers for one of the two fly traps but I cannot be bothered.
Eventually, the flies were gone. However, once bananas were served for dessert again, the flies came back. Shawn was obviously right about his banana theory.
OK so we guys were in the lounge and I was telling them (Kevin was there and had not heard about this yet) about how the Preacher said that girls are stupid (I don't take that seriously...). Angela came in and said I was stereotyping when I was just making fun of the stereotype. The funny thing occurred after all of that. I was sitting down and Julia was staring into the window. I was staring at her wondering what in Ford's name she was doing. I think she noticed that she looked extremely dumb and started walking off without looking. Well the voltage room was open because it was being fixed earlier, therefore making the door directly in Julia's way. My view was such that I could not see her when she bumped into the huge square door and shrieked. So Gabriel, who was sitting right next to me, told me, "I guess that just proves the statement." We ended up laughing out loud.
Our choir presentation was messed up because we had a person-in-charge with super good time management *cough*. We did not have a conductor, nor did we have proper preparation. During the singing, the boys were singing a part only meant to be sung by the girls and I got really confused. Even a person who knew the song was singing it, despite being a guy. Yeah the whole thing was messed up.
So I came back home to see that my bros had changed my computer to a vista theme. :p
We had a tiny party for my birthday on Sunday and me and Hansel decided to play the new
Well it consists of you having huge armies (to a maximum of 10,000 men I believe) to conquer the whole of Rome. It is a turn-based strategy on the campaign map where you take turns to do things. The other turns are taken by the other factions. When you destroy these factions or beat a long game, you can use these factions. When you attack an army or a city in the game, you fight the army in real time. The city will be besieged and you control your army. You could also auto-resolve the battle, but that takes all the fun out of the game. I am playing with the Scipii army and I have some tiny island. Unfortunately it is not like Singapore which reaps in huge profits. Instead, those settlements on the island kill me. I have already restarted the campaign (which requires one to take over 50 settlements and battle the rest of Rome to become its supreme ruler in 275 years or 550 turns) one time and I am planning to do so again.
OK I'd really like to talk more, but this post is 2 months overdue, so I'm just gonna post this half-finished thing...
