One month of life squeezed into a few paragraphs

I was going to go for two months in a few paragraphs ... but yeah, didn't work out.

March started off with a visit from Dad (Monday the 2nd - Friday the 6th), which was awesome! I got a couple of days off of work and we went up to Mount Washington, which ended up being the only skiing in B.C. I got in this year ... it was pretty nice both days and we enjoyed the sun and slopes.

The Friday that Dad left I ended up getting to be part of a pieing with the Order of Pi, which was pretty cool since it's usually (always?) just engineering students that get to do the "executions" (it was thanks to Jason, who is in that video - the guy putting the hood on the accused). It was sort of a right place, right time thing.

Work has continued to be pretty fun, and a good learning experience. There have been a few days where I have been frustrated with kids' attitudes or whatever, but they're only human too, so that's to be expected. Mostly things are eggs in coffee (yay 30s slang). I thankfully managed to coerce (probably too strong of a word, since he does enjoy it) Jason into occasional subbing for the OSC, and the kids like having a guy around once in a while, for sure. And I'm not gonna lie, it's fun working with a friend.

I spent the Wednesdays of this term participating in Campus Alpha, which was a great experience. There were a decent number of non-Christians that came out, and we always had good discussions, and people were general open about their beliefs and what they thought about the videos we watched each week. Oh, and the meals each week were absolutely fabulous ... mmmmm ... I miss Alpha. :D I still have Bible study going on most weeks, though, which can also consist of good discussion, fellowship, and occasionally food.

I spent a week in March (over March break) house-sitting for the Reston's, and looking after their dogs. It was a lot of fun: getting up each morning to walk the dogs on the nearby beach, and hosting a couple of dinners in a new-to-me (and also actually less than a year old) place.

March 22nd was a day I'll never forget - it was the day I got my first ride on a motorcycle!! It was stellar!!!

The last weekend of March was pretty sweet, with a bonfire at Island View beach on Friday night (which is where and when the picture is from), some hard-core (haha) indoor soccer with 20/30s on Saturday, and some hanging out at the beach after church on Sunday.
