Sunday 7th September - "Closing Day"
My Church which is in Newtownards closed on this day. No one saw it coming and it was announced during the main meeting. It hit me like a brick. As soon as they made the announcement i got up on my feet and walked out and cried to myself for 5mins before going back into the meeting room. Once back in the main room, i sat back in my seat and began to sob quietly. Then i got up to bear my testimony (basically were your allowed to get up and share a few words) and i expressed my sadness at the whole thing. Without any control, i sobbed uncontrollably into the microphone and said a few illegible words. Then i sat down again but had to get up to leave again before i kicked off. I wasn't the only one who cried, the whole experience was very upsetting because now all of my friends are going to be going to a different church from me and were i would normally see them twice a week i will now only see them MAYBE once a month. :(
Wednesday 10th - "Judgement Day?"
Everyone, except me, seemed convinced that the world was going to explode, or get sucked into a black hole, or be engulfed with flames, or simply disappear. The amount of people telling me all the different things made me lack any belief in it at all. Guess who was right :D we are still alive. And there was no fire, Elicia. There was no black hole Greg. And no, we did not simply disappear Fergus. Elicia was texting me in the morning absolutely terrified and i was almost in tears laughing at her panic-stricken messages.
Thursday 11th - "Penultimate Youth Day"
Thursday night was our regular church youth night. Well, since our church closed this was the be the last official youth meeting between us all, and the penultimate youth meeting unofficially. We went for seminary (basically bible study) at 6.30, which Jane had just began teaching again since the summer. Part of the reason i was so upset on sunday was because i knew that Jane would no longer be my teacher, even though she is the coolest teacher in the world. Then we had our youth activity. Basically we ate gargantuan amount of unhealthy food and played ridiculously immature party games - all very fun ^_^
Friday 12th - "Last youth day AAAAND Queens open-day"
Today we went on a school trip to Queens university in Belfast. Walked around a bit and went to a lecture about psychology. I hadn't seen my brother in a while so i texted him and we met up since we had loads of time to spare. We (me and amber) asked him were was good for lunch, but had to be within the boundaries our teachers had set. We werent allowed beyond Shaftsbury Square. Well, 'Supreme', which has to be the nicest chip shop i have ever been to, was about a mile and a half beyond Shaftsbury square, so me and amber were terrified of getting caught but luckily we didnt. ON the return we visited a shop i knew about called "The Rusty Zip" to look at jackets. Here is the jacket that i found that i like but Amber hates:
What ya think? Leave me a tag and let me know.
I went to the final youth activity that night at Simon's house. We had this massive bouncy castle and all :) I kept tackling people and lifting smaller people and dropping them. Sounds mean but they loved it lol. But, i decided to show the picture of the jacket i want to some people to see general opinions on it.
Here is the poll...
People who hate the jacket:
Amber
Mum
People who like it:
Me
Emma Shiels
Elicia
Courtney
Chelsea
Simon
Matty
Jane
Ben
AK (Aaron-Kyle)
AK's gf Zara
Elicia's friend christine
Sophie
So the votes are slightly one sided - but im worried that amber would get annoyed if i bought it =/
Anyways, that is a sumary of my week thus far. Except today when i work a split. Meaning i worked one shift, then went home, then went back for another. Got paid as well which was good :)
Now i find myself here posting and neglecting Amber on msn, so i must go to her as she deserves my undivided attention.
Cheerio peoples
